Hot chocolate for sale

[craftyredfox]

There is a small red Fox in the Nexus today, standing nearby a hot chocolate stand, and every now and then keeping his paws warm by an open fire he has going in a trashbin.

He has found some warmer clothes to wear, now that the Nexus is in full winter mode.

The snow is still curious to him.

"Fresh Hot Chocolate! Come and get it!"

"Seriously... how do you non-furred creatures stay warm right now?" He stands near his bin fire again.

"A city. Everyone living there are Animals. And there are different zones... smaller spaces for the smaller species. Tropical places for those who prefer a warmer climate. Arctic places for those who prefer a colder climate."

"It is really large... the city."

"It sounds like an amazing place." Luce said, impressed.

Katiri nodded, reaching for her hot chocolate and taking a sip. It both smelled and tasted delicious and was a perfect beverage for such a chilly day. "We are from a large city too. On our world, it is the last safe refuge. Guardians like me are charged with protecting it and the people that dwell there."

"Sounds like the police officers on my world. I have an annoying bunny who is after me these days..." Yes. He said bunny.

"A bunny?" Luce wondered curiously, while Katiri sipped her hot chocolate in enjoyment.

"It's sort of like that, though we aren't really enforcers per se." She noted after a moment. "I guess we're kind of like soldiers, but we aren't a military force. That's why we call ourselves Guardians. We protect."

"I have heard us called space cops before..." Luce piped up. Katiri uttered a snort of laughter. "That was Kojin. He's such a dork." She rolled her eyes, looking at Nick. "He's a Hunter and part of my fireteam. Has a knack for Solar energy and throwing knives and he's a good friend. He'd like it here."

"Big ears. Innocent face. Always on my case." Nick smiled.

"I am not one for enforcing much. I live a pretty laid back life."

[spacetaser]

Seeing the smile, Katiri echoed it. "They sound like a good friend." She guessed after a sip of her hot chocolate.

"There are some days that I wish we had a more laid back life." Luce quipped in joking tones. "Or at least a nice break from getting shot at all the time."

Katiri laughed a little. "Well, that's what's so great about this place at least." She said lightly. "We still return back to the Tower often to take care of our duties." She added, looking over at Nick. "The way time flows different here comes in handy."
