Shaun was...fairly sure Orion had offered the fish to Mr. Fish before now that he thought about it, but actually getting a taste probably changed his mind. Never managing to finish both fillets themself, Ruck decided to be friendly while Mr. Fish waited for their own meal to cook, taking small peck fulls of fish and dangling them off the edge of the bar for the Eel to grab while it was still resting in it's trainer's lap, Shaun letting off a light chuckle and petting behind one of his wings. "Feelin' generous today are we?~" He gave a friendly sqwuak in response before fetching another peck to offer down.
At the mention of vine 2, Shaun gave a light snicker, making a rather blatantly snide remark to the website. "Yeah wonder how long they'll last before youtube compilations kill 'em off again...~" With a light shake of his head he continued. "Don't get me wrong, some of 'em are funny as hell, but I hope they know what they're doing this time...I always liked that school kid...Thomas somethin. Had a voice like he was in drama class or somethin?"

Mr. Fish’s eyes grew and became heart shaped as they were presented with more fish. Omnomnom! Thrusting up their arms, they praised the wonderful sharing friend before relaxing again comfortably. Orion snorted and pet them gently. Of course, the way to a Fish’s heart was through their stomach. They ate to get longer— and were quite long now even in terms of Eelektross, heh.
On the subject of videos though…. Hmmmm, Youtube was an option Orion guessed. But really most of his stuff was quick and short and meant for laughs so. Orion shrugged his shoulders a bit. “Either way, it’s fun,” he snorted softly. School kid did have him stopping short though. Hmmm what was that guy’s surname? He felt like he should remember it after seeing so many videos of that guy but… “The one who did the Story Time vids right?” he asked. There were, of course, plenty of other things the same guy did, but this was the only one coming to mind. “He is pretty funny …” And had a rather indepth understanding of the human psyche or so it seemed anyways.
But anyways…. “You ever seen anything on the water worth videotaping?” he jeered a bit and flashed a grin. “Or is it smooth sailing usually?”

As the two pokemon shared food, Shaun gave Orion his attention with a hand idly reaching out to toy with Ruck's feathers now and then, smirking as he seemed to catch on to who he was talking about. "Yeah that guy! Aw what was one of them..." He tried his best to immitate the dramatic voice the viner used whenever he did those ones. "And so the Wingull shared his fish...just kidding!~" As if to help emphasize her point, despite being pretty full, Ruck snapped his beak shut on the piece he was ferrying over to Mr.Fish, he didn't swallow though, and ended up poking it back out incase Mr. Fish still wanted it. Pre-chewed food wasn't much of a fo-pah (however you spell it) to birds.
"He is pretty good though...definitely a laugh.~" He shot a smirk back over to Orion as he sipped his drink, catching the question and needing to think on it for a minute. "Er...ya know probably? But its hard to think what I woulda even had time to pull out my camera for..once right-" He turned in his stool to face him directly. "I was out by the rocks lookin' for a recent crash site, see if I could pick up any loose cargo that had gotten thrown overboard? I was just haulin some over the edge when a Milotic just dove over my ship outta nowhere. Ya shoulda seen it. Fuckin' beauty...no time for a camera but just...perfect moment, jumped between me and the sun, scales shimmerin...beautiful thing it was."

OwO! Mr. Fish blinked surprised as the fish suddenly disappeared into the Wingull’s mouth! Looking to Shaun and then to Orion, the latter of which was snickering entirely too hard for reason, they hissed slowly grinning wide. What a funny bird! And look! It returned the fish! They had no scruples with eating ‘after’ another, heh. Food was food 8V.
Orion was trying very hard to settle again, but damn if that hadn’t been funny. Mr. Fish’s face hadn’t taken on that surprised shape in quite some time and just heeeeeeh. Nice work, Ruck, you win. Hell, that probably wouldn’t work again, but man he wished he’d got that on film. His attention, however, would flicker back to Shaun as he spoke. Leaning a bit more on the bar, he set his elbow on it and rested his cheek on his fist. Man, he could almost imagine it given he had just been looking at Milotic the other day, heh. “Hard to believe they evolve out of Feebas,” he grinned a bit toothily. “Not sure what Arceus or evolution was thinking when it made that.”
A yellow eye flickered to Mr. Fish again, and Orion grinned a little too toothily after. “Not sure what Arceus or evolution was thinking when it made that either.” Mr. Fish’s head whipped around and they grinned in their circular smile way before leaning over to nip at his cheek. Orion leaned back but ultimately got a ‘kiss’ anyways.
Heh, a different thought came to mind, and as he continued to pet the Eelektross, Orion spoke. “You ever come across any Gyarados out there too?” Ah yes the other ugly fish that evolved into a monster of sorts. “I actually caught six of them one time…” He snickered softly.

Shaun gave Ruck a little pat for the silliness he pulled with the food, Mr.Fish's own serving arriving soon after, but, feeling pretty eager in his role, Ruck jumped straight for it and started tearing the fish apart with his beak like Shaun had done for him, slowly dropping more fish off the edge of the bar for Mr. Fish to consume...that sounded so wrong, as cute as it was.
"Yeah...bit of a weird thing there eh? Look like spongebob and end up like Arial." He gave a light roll of his eyes, always perplexed by why nature created things like magikarp and feebas...He let out a light snicker and rubbed the top of Mr.Fish's head as attention was drawn to them, looking back to Orion with a look of surprise as he went in. "Dude fucking six!? What'd you do drop a toaster in the ocean?"

Ooooooh 8V Mr. Fish was very pleased to see their own fish brought forward and even more so to see that the Wingull was going to feed them more. A pleasant hiss resounded from them as they continued to catch and chomp down on the fish as it came down. Perhaps they might have electrocuted a couple slices as well just to add to the flavor. Yahhhhsss…
Did he drop a toaster in the ocean? Orion might have snickered a little too much at that. “You would think that for the way they kept coming at me,” he answered with a small roll of his eyes and a grin. “I pissed off one, caught it, and then all the others decided to converge— I think they might be a family, actually…” He frowned a little at his own assessment and then shrugged his shoulders. “Hard to tell with wild Pokemon, sometimes.” He snorted softly as a thought came to him. “If you want to see them sometime, I can show you~ Have them drag your boat somewhere or something.” That was a bit of a stretch of the imagination but he couldn’t help it.

Shaun smirked at the two little buddies getting along over their shared fish food, it was good to see Ruck getting along with other pokemon. He could be a little simple compared to most pokemon his age, so it was certainly nice to see someone they got along with outside of his own pokemon...though Mr.Fish was a little derpy themselves...Ah whatever. Friends were friends!~
"A bunch o' gyrados tuggin me along? I'm just picturing some...massive rapidash drawn carriage...only on water and with gyrados!~" It was definitely something fun to imagine, snickering at the image it created in his head. "Though if you wanna see if they're a family, I say figure out which is the youngest, release them all, and if the rest of them pick on 'em, then they're clearly a family." Of course given how even he treated his sister this wasn't accurate even to himself, but it was a cheeky enough joke to make. "I'd love to see 'em all the same though. Ain't got a gyrados yet, but I've been rakin' in the cash lately and...well. It's been nice building a little collection, especially with how helpful they can be explorin the ocean. Come spring, I'm gonna start deep divin' again and see if I can pick up any good loot with 'em. Apparently there's some old sunken ruins not far off the coast I ain't found yet, so gonna hit them up too."

Orion’s features heightened as Shaun spoke. He didn’t have a sibling per say, but he had had Jazz in the house growing up which might as well have been close enough. Even today they still had their spats even if they were considerably less in intensity. “I might have to try that,” he snickered softly anyways. Man, he would be amused if they were all dicks, honestly, but he probably should wish for mild, trainable Pokemon probably.
Taking a slow sip of his drink, Orion smirked a bit at Shaun’s diving interests. “Sounds neat~” he mused lightly. “Veria has quite a number of little treasures— including the numerous tunnels and passageways that seem to fill the entire region. I’ve been through miles and miles of them and found quite a lot of stuff along the way~ You’d think it was just a treasure mine or something.” Never mind that one of those expansive networks was in fact the Liggs mine, heh. It felt to some degree that the entire region was blessed for whatever reason.
There was a brief pause before Orion shrugged and went ahead with a thought. “If you go out sometime~ I’d love to try diving,” he snickered once. Yeah, he swam alright but… wet suit and all was not something he’d ever tried.

"Heh, something like that year. Can't say I've ever tried the tunnels too much, but I gots a mate up in Liggs who goes spelunkin' and shit. Always tells me about the goodies they find and all that!" Veria was a pretty expansive place, and while his mind flickered to the mines he'd heard about in Sinnoh, they didn't feel nearly as wonderous as the tunnels could be from time to time. At the return to Shaun's diving, he smiled brighter, both seeing a chance to make more of a friend out of Orion...or if they weren't friends, make a quick buck!~
"I actually do diving lessons in the springs when I'm short on cash, but I'm sure I can float ya a freebie!~ I even got a spare set of gear, so maybe we can go somewhere cool together if you can manage it." He took a sip before swallowing down and making it clear. "Not saying you're not cut out for it or anythin, just, lot of guys I've taken out have trouble poppin' their ears. Ya know like this." He proceeded to pinch his nose shut and blow hard, not popping his ears but enough that what he was attempting was clear. "Usually I just take 'em to some shallow waters though and swim about a bit. They have enough fun that it don't feel wasted."

Spelunkin? Orion was gonna guess in context it had something to do with cave crawling or something. Orion rolled that word around in his head a couple more times and couldn’t help but grin a bit. He’d have to use that one from now on.
But oh? Free diving lessons? Spare gear? Orion’s ears practically perked at that. At the mention of others struggling, he chuckled a bit and shrugged his shoulders briefly. “I’m sure I could get by just fine~” he boasted a little before grinning toothily. “I’m a pretty fast study.” When he wanted to be and often only with his hands but whatever right~? “Though…” he paused on remembering something else, heh. “I’ve heard it’s sometimes hard to breathe?” Not that that wasn’t a huge deterrent on its own, but that was kind of necessary to survive. “Either way, I’m sure Fishy would like to go down too.”
The Eelektross who had been happily eating their fish with the Wingull’s help looked up and flashed a wild grin. They loved hunting in the deaths of the ocean! They missed it! And hunting with Orion sounded fassssssinating 8V.

As Orion tried to reassure him, Shaun only shook his head. He knew from experience this wasn't a skill think so much as just...an innate ability? "Look I'm sure you could be a fantastic diver, but you need to be able to pop your ears is all i was saying. Its something some people just...can't do? Like whistling." He gave a brief and light whistle for emphasis, proving he could do it. "Some people, no matter what, just cannot pull it off, whether its just inate ability or the fact their lips just ain't designed for it. Whatever the case, if you can do that, you should have no problem diving.
As the question of breathing came up though, he had to snicker. "Dude you're breathing from a metallic tank strapped to your back. I imagine anyone would find that hard...more seriously though...I'd say its like breathing through something? Like, imagine breathing through your shirt. It's doable, but it feels thick and a little tough, and you definitely wouldn't wanna do it forever...imagine that? Yeah, sounds about right..." He finished off his last drink and gave Orion a bright smile. "Either way, I'd love to see if you can manage it. Don't really have any buddies who like divin!~"

Pffftftftf. Orion’s lips quirked a little at Shaun’s description. Well, he certainly could breathe through a bandana just as easily, but he wasn’t about to explain that. A small nod was given instead and perhaps a lighter chuckle at Shaun’s assurance. “Well~ It’d be great to once it’s warm enough,” he snickered a bit softly.
Arms reached up lazily and stretched around behind him. “The cold has been so draining,” he yawned and half-laughed. “I grew up in this kind of weather, but I guess that’s what I get for coming to such a mild climate.” His lips quirked and he rested an elbow on the table and his cheek in his hand. “Can’t remember if I told you or not,” he mused a bit dryly. “But I’m from a country called Era~ Far off from here but rather nice.” Never mind that it was currently at war still. “Ever heard of it?”

Debating briefly on getting another drink or just letting the last ones settle in, Shaun's eyes cut back across to Orion at his question, twirling in his own seat and narrowing his eyes...seemed familiar but in a way he could tell he'd only saw it on like, a map or some crap...if memory served it weren't at all close to Veria, but he really could be very wrong about that. Twirling his stool about he crossed one leg over the other, idly toying with the rim of his glass as he leaned back.
"Can't say I really have...it really all that far away? What brought you to Veria? Come for the tourist shit and decide to stay? Plane crash off the coast and you been stuck here ever since?~"

Even from the miniscule motions Shaun made, Orion was pretty aware that he was either unsure of it or had not heard of it. The verbal confirmation had him nodding slowly. A small chuckle resounded, however, as he realized he’d kind of nodded to every suggestion in turn. “Ah, actually, mostly came to get away from it,” he answered. “Shit’s been going down back home and I took my cousin and moved out.” A hand reached up and ruffled his hair a bit.
That was an incredibly oversimplified explanation, but he wasn’t about to admit exactly why he was there even if Shaun was a mercenary (which he still had no reason to believe he wasn’t, heh). No, perhaps in the secluded confines of an already well known criminal den, he might have, but he had no faith in an open bar setting.
“Mostly settled here because I came across my old boyfriend— girlfriend— significant other.” Arceus fuck him why was this so hard. A weird half-laugh escaped from him before he shrugged his shoulders. “Call it cliché but they gave me a reason to stay.” More than one reason which included a hostage situation, but whatever, right?

"...That is very cliche my man. Well done." With a quiet clap focused on his palm like some posh lass at a dinner party congratulating the chef, he gave Orion his own congratulations for his reason for staying before bursting out into a light chuckle at his own act. He turned back to his drink before swiftly recalling it was empty, sighing and turning focus back to Orion, Ruck getting a bit restless even with feeding Mr.Fish keeping him busy, wanting to get out and stretch his wings if Shaun wasn't drinking anymore. "Ah in a minute feather butt..."
All the same it was time for Shaun to get going if he didn't plan on drinking heavily this evening, slipping out of his stool and fixing his coat, still polite enough to finish his conversation at least. "Well, whatever kept ya around, its a good region...though you picked a really shitty time to move.~" He offered only a light smirk, hoping it was obvious as to why before turning on his heels to leave. "Hey, I do gotta run, early start tomorrow. My boat's always docked in the same spot if ya ever wanna drop by!" Ruck dipped his beak to Mr.Fish and flew off the table, landing on Shaun's head as they moved to the door.
