X lowered his hands when he fully took in Kazoo’s appearance. He was clearly a Fresh. But he was different. And he didn’t know how to feel about that. Different usually wasn’t a good thing.
X paused, looking Kazoo over again. He didn’t really seem like a threat. But he was a Fresh, a Parasite. And he was nervous. That struck X as odd, since most Freshes didn’t show emotions like that. He strung his strings around his fingers, creating a cat’s cradle to keep his hands busy. He wasn’t going to lie. He was a tad uncomfortable. Not to mention confused.
❝ do you- uh... do youneedh-h-help? ——— ❞
X had gotten used to the stutter his glitchiness caused. He barely noticed the random tone changes and pitch squeaks after so long. It made talking difficult sometimes, though. He used to enjoy singing, but now, straining his voice made the stuttering worse, and it hurt.
As he stood there in front of Kazoo, he realized that,—for once—he didn’t want to immediately obliterate this one. He was going to analyze the situation first. He wasn’t going to lash out at Kazoo for no reason. That was pointless effort. He continued to hook strings onto his fingers as he stared at the parasite, the x’s in his eyes trailing over every inch of him, which wasn’t very many inches. The little tie dyed skeleton confused him, and he wanted explanations to sate his curiosity.
