A high pitched trill gurgles in his throat, muffled by the structure of his build. His massive head turns so he can watch her with one big eye, examining her while his weight shifts from one foot to the other with the force of his powerful tail waving side to side. His gaze quickly jumped from Cherno to the cake and he nearly purred. He knew he smelled something good. Without another thought, he cluckled and padded towards the treat. He was amused that she had found the cake more important than the possible life threat right before her, but he had to say he agreed. Cake was pretty important.

"You-"

Sasha, you’re talking to a Kaiju. Get ahold of yourself.

"You are Kaiju, of course I think you would hurt her." The scowl that had returned on her face was evident, yet mixed with it was a look of concern; strange for a woman who considered all human Jaegers ‘strange’ and ‘unsettling’.

Well…she couldn’t help it. There was reasoning for her uncertainty behind Cherno.

"You are Kaiju….she is Jaeger. You two fight; always have, always will."

{{Wrong!}} The speaker snarled almost as much as he did. It was a lucky thing that nothing was behind him, otherwise it would have gotten a good thrashing from his tail as he shook his head and body. {{Cherno will not hurt Tansho, Tansho will not hurt Cherno. Kaiju and Jaegers do not fight. Humans and Great Ones do. Jaegers and Kaiju just middle tools. Sleep on Jaegers, sometimes. Climb them to escape humans. Jaegers do not attack when humans absent. Kaiju won't attack without control of Great Ones.}} He lowered his head until he could hold it level with her and glare her in the face with one large, narrowed eye. {{It is humans that make Jaegers fight Kaiju. If Cherno hurts Tansho, it will be human responsible. If Cherno hurts Tansho, Tansho will not hurt Cherno. Tansho will hurt human.}}

Donuts? What the hell would a (would she even call it a Kaiju) do with donuts?

"Are you that thing Cherno Alpha calls a pet?" She snorts spitefully, jokingly to the point of provocation; it was a habit to get bitchy in the sight of the beasts. "That one that lives on all those desserts?"

Sasha could half see why she would make friends with him. She must have just been confused - or a little bit ballsy - in that AI ‘body’ of hers; although she couldn’t deny that the ‘woman’ had guts. “Got a little friend have we?”

Her prideful look softens a little, yet still contained a wariness that would of course be there, being a pilot. He hadn’t attacked anyone, nor had he even bothered anyone apart from the odd nibble on filing cabinets. “You’d…better not hurt her.”

The Kaiju's demeanor changed immediately and he perked up with Cherno was mentioned. He turned, looking at Sasha with one eye and purring softly. He crouched down a bit and stepped closer just a bit. {{Cherno?}} He asked, humming quietly. {{Why?}} He continued and then immediately remembered to expand on that thought. {{... would hurt Cherno?}}

"Это чертовски Kaiju?" Is that a fucking Kaiju?

That was it. She had never seen something so pathetic looking in her life. Sasha bursts out laughing with a harsh, demeaning cackle.

"Что это за хуйня, ЧТО ОН МОЙ БОГ!" WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT, OH MY GOD!

The Kaiju stopped when he heard the exclamation. It frightened him a little simply because a human yelling at a Kaiju usually meant a human about to attack a Kaiju. Then he heard the laughter. She was mocking him, wasn't she? He snorted and turned to face her, growling lowly around the box of donuts in his mouth. He leaned in, nose in the air to catch her scent. It registered and brought up her data through the Hive. A Ranger, huh? No wonder she was laughing. She'd seen far bigger than him, no doubt about that. Still, he wasn't going to just walk away from that. He wasn't quite sure what she was saying - the data bank wasn't quite multilingual yet - but he could roll with it anyway. {{Is right? Smell like pantry full rotten fruit, you! Pew! Hold still, cover with sand like cat litter box. Keeps flies away.}} He turned and kicked his feet back at her to mimic the very act he described. He snorted again over his shoulder at her. {{Puny human.}}

Splotch laughed with a deep rumble. //Yeah…i think they’re trying to break me of bad habits now! they’ve locked up the sugar in the kitchen in a safe!// he laughed and caught the tail on instinct.

//you don’t have to, y’know.// he said motioning to the tail. //but yeah, a little. been hungrier than normal too, probably another growth spurt soon.// he said. He sniffed at the dolphin flesh and nibbled a little, not wanting to eat it if Tansho wanted it back.

//Too bad you don't have a baker friend, huh?// He asked, a fond purr emitting vocally and through the hive as an image of Cherno and a platter full of cupcakes and candied fruit flashed between their mental connection. //Eat! It's tasty! Kind of a small snack for you, though. Or, well, it will be soon. You're going to get huge like your mom. You won't have the luxury of being a house-kaiju.//

Splotch yawned and went out to feed as well, knowing that hunting was becoming more of a way to sustain himself than sitting and begging at tables. Besides, everyone refused to give him marshmallows lately. apparently you gain a few dozen pounds in a growth spurt around your belly and they think you need to hunt for your own for a while.

When he sniffed the air, he grinned. “Tansho!” he bellowed seeing the familiar frame down shore. Trotting up to greet his friend.

~Making you hunt on your own too, huh brother?~ he asked through the hive mind smiling.

#[ooc]#DRAAAAAAGONIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITE #submission

//Morning, Splotch!// he called back, busy putting his feet and jaws to work tearing the dolphin to pieces and gulping it down. //I've always hunted on my own// he told him. //I never had a Shatterdome full of people call me their pet and feed me everything under the sun.// He snorted in laughter and tore off the tail to toss it at Splotch. //What've you been up to? You get taller?//

Although it's warmed up a little, it's still terribly cold outside and the Kaiju would rather spend it curled up in the boiler room. Unfortunately, his intense, almost nauseating hunger won't take temperature for an excuse. His logic had been simply that if he was going to be forced to swim in the cold, cold water then he was going to make it worth the irritation and find himself something tasty. His hunt proved to be fruitful. He dragged his prize back onto the sand of the harbor beach line and dropped it. The seawater draining out of his nostrils bumped a reflex that made him inhale quickly and sneeze out many liters of water, leaving the amphibious lungs full of air instead of water. Shaking his head, he turned back to his meal and snorted at it. Dolphins. Pompous little smartass bastards.

There were upsides to being a computer, the harsh bite of the cold only increased your performance. Cherno had no qualms about a freezing cold day, only that it made her feel more awake, more human. Nevertheless, she had taken to wearing things like scarves and gloves on days like this.

The Shatterdome was quiet outside for a winter day, usually the harshness of the breeze did not deter those hard at work, but the scuttling of its ants had forced them indoors.

Cherno puts her hands to her mouth, seeing if it were possible to breath steam. “…Seems it is just me.”

The heavily insulated feet planted widely to balance his weight as the large snout reached out level with her shoulder and huffed out a thin, billowy cloud of his own blue-tinted mist. He tilted his head to look at her and purr slightly, eye wide in amusement and tail waving happily. {{Not just!}} The Kaiju chirped and plodded off into the snow a bit, standing on tiptoe to keep everything that lacked the protection of the hard, solid armor of his feet out of the frozen piles. He paused for a minute before turning and running behind her again, and after a second or two, running forward once more. He had no real aim. In fact, he was tempted to retreat back to the basement and boiler and curl up until the weather warmed up again but there was so much hot chili and warm soup and nearly-scalding chocolate drinks that he felt like he would overheat if he did that. The cold weather seemed easier to handle when he was that overloaded, and he really, really missed his Cherno. {{Where're you off to?}} His box buzzed as he trotted in a wide circle around her.

She lowered her sword completely, “You are rather pathetic looking for a Kaiju.” she frowned, putting her sword away. “Can you not care for yourself?”

The Kaiju- Category I at best- squawked as if offended and flipped until he could roll onto his feet again and rumble out a soft growl at her as if insulted. {{I can take care of myself just fine! I've been doing it for decades!}} The growl turned into a soft purr, though still irritated, and he sat back on his haunches, tail curled around his feet and snout up in the air. He huffed through his large nostrils and made a short, strange 'yowrl' of a sound. {{But if you haven't noticed, there's a significant lack of food these days. And some of us weren't meant to be a one-time-use weapon of sorts. Infiltrators have to survive, you know. We need fuel- food- just like any other living creature with intentions to survive longer than the average moth.}}

"Why should I trust what their creatures say. If they are so good at controlling you how do I know that you’re not reporting back to them?"

His eyes could move easily in each cardinal direction, they were more or less fixed in their sockets and as much as he wanted to do so, the muscular structure necessary to roll his eyes was absent, making it impossible. Instead, he merely moaned out a dull noise of irritation and pulled his head in to his chest so he could rub his paws at his temples. He connected to the speaker again, only to realize it was muffled by his thick chin. He snorted and looked towards the human again if for no other reason than to unblock the speaker. {{You have every reason not to believe me, but I told you they're done with me. I was sent over to observe and collect data and send it back to them. There was a wave of us shortly after the second. Shortly before they began developing us and deciding where and how to strike. Most of the wave died from one factor or another. Call it knowledge or dumb luck but something's kept me here so far. I think it's having done my job- learn about the target- humans.}} He relaxed enough to flop over onto his side, claws, teeth, and horns still brandished in her direction, albeit in less of an aggressive threat and more of an idol reminder of his arsenal. Otherwise, he lay before her, off guard. Maybe it was because he was tired or maybe he just wanted to show her how much of a threat they weren't to each other. {{I told them what I found. Humans are resilient and resourceful creatures living on a planet that could support them and us and our Great Ones without much trouble. We didn't need to attack them- er, you. Humans. We could inhabit what we needed to survive, and the humans would file in everywhere else. I told them that the humans would eventually just stop attacking and live around us. They didn't accept it. They became tired of me constantly trying to convince them to try for cohabitation instead of annihilation.}} He curled in on himself, again moaning out something low, pitiful, and lonely. {{They all but severed my ties to our collective hub. I can't even speak to another of my kind if they don't speak to me first.}} His shoulders rose and fell as he inhaled and huffed out an apathetic sigh. {{Not that you care nor do I expect you to. Just letting you know why you can trust when I say I won't hurt you. I'm too hungry to waste energy on starting a fight that can be avoided... unless you want to fight... but I suggest you not. I'm not a big Kaiju but I'm bigger than you. ... and you're super squishy.}}

"You have five seconds before I dice you."

{{N-no. No, I don’t think you will,}} the small speaker strapped to his chest buzzed as he curled in on himself, head lowering to put the bladed jaw between his body and hers… just in case. {{I’m covered in a tough hide. There’s little that will pierce it. But even if you could… why would you attack me?}} He tilted his head back and forth, watching her with one eye, then the other. {{I haven’t attacked you.}}

"I’ll find a way." her guard momentarily dropped, talking Kaiju. This place was riddled with danger. "Your kind destroyed everything. Don’t play sympathies with me!"

The Kaiju made a noise halfway between a growl and a gurgle, somewhat apologetic and somewhat sad. {{Humans are not the only victims of the ... what you call Kaiju. Kaiju are being controlled. Something bigger, stronger, more devastating is using us.}} Alright, so the Great Ones weren't stronger, and they were far smaller and weaker, but they knew how to command and control the creatures that wrought destruction to almost any world they encountered. How long had they been servants to the Great Ones? Long before he was created, he knew that much. {{They had their fill of me, though. I'm no longer useful to them. I'm not even worth decommissioning in their eyes. You're no threat to me. Not by the look of you. So I won't attack you... unless you attack me first.}}

//I just had eight weeks of sleep. Why am I still exhausted?//

//The weather sure is warmer...// The Kaiju made his way out of the subbasement, rubbing his back and sides against any rough surface that would give the friction needed to get the blood flowing again. After spending weeks at a time sleeping, moving seemed like a hassle. After stumbling through the halls and doors, he finally found himself on the warm sand of the shoreline. He stretched and wiggled, flinching and twitching as his bones cracked and joints popped. It made him want to yawn and the massive breath he inhaled sounded out in a loud, echoing roar, the effort of which had him falling belly first onto the sand. He moaned and purred as he rolled around in it, warming his bones and leathery scales. //... Morning, world.//

//As long as you remain unseen I care no who you move around.

She exhaled and gently patted the creature’s head, //I and another elder reside in the Shatterdome for now. If you need anything of us, you know we are here. She smiled a little, almost like a mother would to a child. London did care about her creations, her clones, to an extent. But she wouldn’t hesitate to crush them if crossed.
