There's a large cat at the bar. They kind of look like a bobcat... don't let that scare you! They seem to be in the mood to chat, motioning you over. **'Hey, looks like you want to ask me a question.'** Hans signs, a tiny grin forming on their face. **'Go ahead. Shoot.'** --- **‘My favorite game?’** Hans repeats, thinking. It’s been a while, but they definitely did enjoy playing on a DS. They smile, remembering their kid’s insistence on them progressing through Pokemon Pearl, so they can trade the version exclusives. **‘Pokemon Pearl,’** They sign, though they’re not sure how exactly they did it. Hans wiggles their paws, fascinated by the new signs that incorporated their ears and tail. Was it syllabic or symbolic? How did they even *say* that? **‘It’s like… a creature collecting game. Do you have that in your world?’** The thought is lost quickly when Baskara points to their drink. It’s another sour-and-bitter ale, which Hans had found was their new favorite (much to Chili Nose’s shock). **‘You are *not* gonna like it.’** Hans says, pushing their glass over to him, trying not to grin. ---
