Creature Moments || Vinzent + the Creature

Vinzent Mayer

Wherever the creature was, after his many conversations, Vinzent was looking for the ball of fur.

It might have scared him a lot when it was revealed to not be a fluffy beanbag, and he knew he cussed in shock…

But, he wants to make it up to the creature. It looks so damn fluffy, almost like a Samoyed with no ears and snout. So Vinzent’s on a mission to try befriending it before anything happens. Maybe.

To be honest, the white fur of the creature reminded Vinzent of his dog years ago, even if the creature looked very different from an actual canine.

Act normal. Act normal.

When he saw the creature, he held himself back from petting it. What if it suddenly chomps his arm off? Anyway, he has to talk to it.

“Hey buddy… Sorry for being foul mouthed earlier when you woke up. I didn’t know you were alive. I’m also surprised you followed us until now.”

“By the way, your fur look very soft..! May I pet it?”

He did hope it’ll let him, what with his additional apology. He truly had no intention to be rude, but he sure as heck didn’t expect a living creature like this one. And now that he had time to settle down, it did look cute honestly.

In this car full of paper and stationery, the creature’s colour might blend in, but physically… it looked very awkward here. Clearly it wasn’t looking for a letter of its own, and it was getting in the way a little simply by being large and fluffy. It didn’t seem to be exceptionally bothered, though, nor especially self-aware. It was aware of Vinzent, however! More specifically, that Vinzent was giving it attention!

It bumbled its way over to him, and blinked in a way that might perhaps indicate the apology had been accepted. As for why it was following… well, such a large group of Passengers had to lead to something good, right? Something like…

It made another of its strange noises as it shuffled even closer to Vinzent. Yes!! It was very soft!! How smart of him to notice!

Vinzent was standing still, prepared for whatever consequences he may have… But, no!

The way it reacted delighted him, And even when it still made strange noises, Vinzent was too excited to stand still as he went to gently pet the fur.

… So soft…. He nearly wanted to shove his face in the fur, just HOW fluffy was it?! Just petting it wasn’t enough!!! No!

“Aww! Did you know you’re the softest creature ever? You’re so cute..!”

…

Okay, he’ll allow himself to rest his head on the fluffy body just for a moment. It’s not everyday you can do that anyway. He’ll try to be aware of the creature’s behavior, because as cute as it was, he didn’t know it quite well… So it was difficult to gauge what would be acceptable or less so for the creature. But so as long as it stayed friendly, Vinzent was quite happy to have finally talked to it!

Vinzent Mayer “Aww! Did you know you’re the softest creature ever? You’re so cute..!”

Oh, it knew! It knew that very well!

All the affection seemed to suit the creature just nicely. It began to wobble slightly beneath Vinzent, and as it turned more into a vibration he might realise that it was… purring? Or, as close to purring as a large fluffy thing with seemingly no mouth could get.

…!!!

Was it purring? Or the equivalent of it?!

He was delighted.

Vinzent truly would not mind staying like this for a long, long while, if he could. The creature is just a beautiful gift in this place.

But he did wonder… Where did it come from? Has it been lonely for long? Who did the creature know?

… So many questions.

“I want to know… Did you want to come with us on the train because you were alone? Or is it something else..?”

He continued petting it gently still while talking. It was highly probable the answer wouldn’t be comprehensible, as Vinzent only heard strange noises from the creature. But still, he wanted to try.

Narrator

At least, for all that the creature seemed to be incomprehensible, it seemed quite capable of comprehending when it was spoken to. It blinked when Vinzent asked his question, and with the way it paused it might have been in thought.

Eventually, it seemed to come to its answer, and bent its legs in sequence to make a movement almost like a shrug, then nudged Vinzent and made one of its whuffling sounds. Perhaps it came with them for one solitary reason - so that it could be pet?

Narrator

Oh? He wasn’t sure what to make of it, did it simply just not know?

“Alright then…”

At the nudge, he smiled and kept up the petting, using both his hands to Maximize the pets. It’s what the creature deserves!

“As if I’ll stop! I’ll gladly stay a little longer just to pet you, since you seem to like it very much!”

He laughed a bit while continuing to talk to it. It wasn’t total ease with the current situation at hand… But it was quite nice to be able to relax just a bit and the creature was just the perfect being to chill with.
