With an irritated expression the infamous waiter walked along carrying a small box as he approached Finn with a light sigh.

"Here this is for you. I don't need much of this and I think its better in your hands so just take it."

In the box was two hand ornaments in a skeleton design... handcrafted as seen by most of Eijis creations, a small glass of mousse au chocolat, a few scary looking small fish skeleton figures and an old timey record of music.

"I sorted out my room and the food someone gifted to me and I wasn't interested... you can have it... as a token of my appreciation that someone likes my work, that is all."

Finn carefully took the box from Eiji, gazing silently at what was inside. Others might be offended by being gifted unwanted belongings... but Finn's eyes lit up in delight even as his face remained mostly neutral. His lips quirked upwards into a smile, and he flashed his teeth at Eiji.

"Thank you for this, Eiji." He said softly. "I really appreciate it."

"Hey, Finn, I gotta ask," Levi arched back into the tea bar, an attempt to keep quiet and covert. "Y'bite people, right? Can I get an OK from Azul too? You know, since I gotta help keep this place all civil and stuff."

The Glaucus' teeth were as blunt as any human's, but a bite from someone who stores poison in their body on a regular basis probably might not be good PR if they were allowed to chomp on rowdy customers.

Finn furrowed his brows and gazed at Levi for a while, confusion briefly flashing across his face.

"W- no, I don't bite people." He answered in the same quiet, calm voice as always. "And no, Azul won't let you. I doubt anyone would want to come to a restaurant with a biting hazard."

[Sadiya flies above Finn, gracefully landing next to him. They brush themself off before looking back at him.] “Don’t make too much noise, we might get caught,” [They say, tucking their wings in.] “How are you holding up? With everything going on and all.”

— @sadiya-of-scarabia

Finn didn't answer at first. He seemed distracted, fidgety. "I-" He started slowly, his voice a filament-thin whisper. "I'm ok, thank you, but... I haven't seen Azul in a while..." He didn't say he was worried out loud, but it was pretty obvious that's how he felt.

Quartz please don't eat Jade...

I 100% support whatever you’re doing that is against jade , you should end him before he ends you

Yk eat for lunch before he eats you for dinner

Ur right...

Goodbye Jade Leech

Finn's eyes crinkled with a fond smile. "Jade looks wonderful when he's happy. I'm glad he was able to form his own club, I can't imagine him enjoying any other as much. Perhaps I should join him on his next hike, though I'm not sure I'll last very long... And Quartz, please don't shove Jade off a mountain."

aw he looks so cute we need to shove him off the mountain and wish for the best

"Oh, please, Jade wouldn't poison just anybody, he's not an idiot. I doubt anything you could do would warrant that. He's a perfect gentleman if you ask me."

“Of all octotrio members, I’m afraid to approach Jade the most. Why? HE’S TOO UNPREDICTABLE THATS WHY- Floyd and his mood swings? Scary but manageable. Azul and his schemes? It can be avoided if you try hard enough (and also pray to the sevens you don’t get cornered into making a deal). Jade tho? Jade is the most menacing of them- he’s always smiling! And he always seems creepily polite- it’s not natural! Plus and from what Atamai tells me he has a large tendency to poison people- and since this dudes like a hawk…it’s nearly inevitable once you’re in his sight.”

Anything else you want to ask during Pride:

Finn– oh, and Tsum Finn, do either of you happen to have seen Floyd’s Tsum? It ran off with my homework… again.

(purple text signifies Aurinelle talking)

Finn shook his head, and Finn tsum did as well. It squeaked at Aurinelle. Then, it ran up to hug his leg, then scuttled behind Finn.

"Squeak!"

It says hello, Aurinelle.

[fclearcove]

OH MY GOD IS THAT BABY FINN???🥺😭😭😭 TSUM, HII!!💞💞💞 Look who wanted to see you too-! *Azul tsum jumped out* ✨

Finn tsum starts excitedly bouncing up and down and immediately bounds over to Azul tsum with a look of delight on its face. It starts pressing against Azul tsum's face excitedly.

Chu~ "Squeak!!!!"

It says it's very happy to see Azul tsum and that it must come have fun instead of working, lol

[fclearcove]

“Finn tsum…you got one too huh?” *-He presents their tsum to him-* “I’m gonna leave this with you- you two get along now.” ^^

The Chiyo Tsum doesn’t seem to know what to do with Finn Tsum, so they simply bounce up and down in greeting

Finn tsum blinks at Chiyo tsum then plods over to it and presses their noses together.

"Squeak!"

Finn says hello :)

[fclearcove]

Hi finn-tsum! Have you ever eaten rubber :3?

The tsum lowers its head and makes a very sad little "squeak"

It says yes, and that it's not as yummy as it looked :(

[fclearcove]

HIII LITTLE FINN

Could you show some cool tricks?

The tsum peers up with you with big, wide eyes, then begins rolling around on its back in circles.

"Squeak!"

It's says no, not really. It can do... that and backflips on a broom, but I'm not sure if it's being very honest. It can also bite in perfect circles, but you wouldn't want that.

[fclearcove]

HI FINN TSUM you’re so cute

The tsum shuffles up to you and pats its stubby feet against your leg

"Squeak!"

It says thank you. ...And that it wants you to prove you think it's cute by buying it chocolate mousse...

[fclearcove]

Hey guys, Quinn here. Tsumsted wonderland has rolled around yet again, and it seems like Finn's tsum has stolen his phone. It's happy to answer any questions you have. Just please don't tell Finn where it is (it's hiding under Azul's bed). I'll be happy to translate since somehow I can't speak my second language, but I'm fluent in sentient squismallow squeak.

♥ you see a kid, who really looks like they should not be at the lounge ,staring at a fish tank full of fish

@tea-cup-tyrant

Finn frowned at them, unsure or what to do. Should he call Azul? No... Azul was busy. But how was he supposed to deal with kids? He didn't know how, and there weren't supposed to be any kids here anyways. With a sigh, he trotted over to the child and crossed his arms.

"You aren't supposed to be here." He said softly.

[fclearcove]

Hmm. I think I'll be alright. If anything, the sea in Octavinelle is also quite safe, as few can access it without a potion. I'll ask Azul, Jade, and Floyd what they think, though.

Finn…Seven help us all our schools getting overrun by overblots. We just dealt with one last night and I’m already hearing boss music for another- I got stuck with blot accumulation the other night so I’m stuck in the infirmary. What do we do atp..? TvT

I... I feel this is something you should maybe report somewhere? That doesn't sound normal. Please monitor your blot levels carefully, Chiyo.
