Half-lidded eyes stared up at him and the cat gave a half-shrug (or at least, what appeared to be the feline-version of a half shrug) as he simply smiled back.
"A rose by any other name would still smell just as sweet - Guardian, normal, it isn't that big a deal to me. If I'm not guarding anything, does that mean I'm not a Guardian to begin with?"
At the mention of the youma, green eyes opened up in curiosity and thoughts of further teasing evaporated. His stomach might be hungry but Bob loved himself an entertaining tale almost as much as he did a free lunch.
"Sounds like you've got yourself a story there, Tommy."
Eyes followed the box as the young man held it, "What do you say you slide just a little my way so I can nibble on a bit while you regale me with your killer youma encounter?"
SSBrosB I'M SORRY I DIDN'T REALIZE YOU HAD TAGGED UNTIL NOW ): ): ):

Tom sighed a bit, putting the white box in front of the cat knowing that he couldn’t really stall anymore. “Well it’s not anything amazing really. I wasn’t paying attention, it jumped me, General Benitoite killed it and then he got pissed off at me and forced me into joining the negaverse.” He was still annoyed at that. He didn’t consider the senshi terrorists, both sides had done horrible things and from what he had heard so far, what the senshi had done that was so horrible had passed a thousand years ago. At this point it was time to move on.
But that was not meant to be, and he figured that the negaverse, especially Metallia, had something bigger planned and this wasn’t all just about revenge anymore. He leaned back on the bench and looked at the sky a bit, his hat loosening itself from his head a bit, but not enough to fall off. “General Benitoite was just surprised that the youma didn’t kill me right away.”Ghouliboo No problem, had to take a bit of an rp break myself.

The excitement was evident in the cat's face as the box was placed before him, but he expressed enough self-restraint that he did not immediately pounce upon the container. Instead, one paw moved out to knock the two chopsticks out of the box, seemingly indifferent as the two wooden sticks clattered off the bench and onto the ground.
Leaning down, he inhaled a long, drawn-out whiff of the noodles before promptly dunking his face directly into the open take-out box. As he withdrew, so did a messy bundle of noodles, sharp fangs chewing them slowly. He listened to the Lieutenant's story while he swallowed, leaning down to take another bite before responding - one noodle still dangling from his bottom lip.
"Sounds like you're really dedicated to your new job."
The sarcasm was far from subtle, but the cat was clearly amused and not offended by the newcomer's lack of enthusiasm for his forced-upon role.
"I dunno General Benny but he seems a bit...high strung." Dipping down, he grabbed another noodle and swallowed. "Weird he didn't just take your star seed. Sounds like it would have been easier than saving you from something he probably summoned himself."

Tom watched the cat in a combination of amused disgust as he watched Bob eat. He would definitely have to go and wash his hands after this. Cats could still be dirty no matter how much they cleaned themselves.
He smiled at the cat’s sarcasm. Well, at least he found one… cat he could talk to about his reservations in the negaverse. So far he had been dealing with it alone by himself but it felt good that the cat didn’t seem to be judging Tom for it. “Yeah, it’s especially fun trying to meet my quota every week with such a dedication to the job.” He replied with his own bit of sarcasm, pretty sure that the cat would take it in a more joking way.
“I don’t really understand why he didn’t kill me either. I mean I really do not fit in with all of this negaverse stuff. I think his anger just blinded him for a bit.” He didn’t mention that the general seemed surprised at the youma attack, but perhaps it had just been all an act. He wouldn’t be surprised at this point anymore. He had thoughts about… what was it? Purification? He had heard about it from that squire he had battled but hadn’t asked for fear it might draw him under some sort of suspicion.
He looked back at the cat. “So... you have anything interesting about your life? Or are you just a cat who goes with the flow?”

He nodded as he chewed, though whether or not he actually heard the Lieutenant's words was another thing altogether. His head tilted at the mention of quota - ah, yes - the wonderful requirements that came with the shiny new title and threads. Thankfully his head had remained low when it came to the bigwigs here in Destiny City; Bob wasn't one to enjoy the thought of tasks and requirements, himself.
The conversation turned towards him and furry eyebrows rose in momentary surprise. "Who, me?"
The free lunch was given a pause as he thought over his answer. "Interesting could sum it up. Been around the block, seen my fair share of senshi and fights. I prefer to chill, though. All things said and done, this war's been going on for years and I don't see it stopping anytime soon."
Satisfied with his answer, he returned to his food and drug a wad of noodles out of the box. One paw moved to separate the bundle and he added thoughtfully, "Not that I'm trying to persuade you one way or the other. I mean, you could be as strong as Bennyboy, if you wanted to be. The way I see it, there are the bosses and the underlings - less work if you're a boss than if you're the one being bossed around, right?"

Tom probably shouldn’t have felt jealous of a cat, especially a guardian one, but he wished he could just feel relaxed and be lazy about his job currently. But he would be punished if anyone learned that he wasn’t fulfilling his duties.
He rolled his eyes at the mention of the war. It was still so ridiculous in his eyes, especially since whatever they were fighting over had happened a thousand years ago. And he hadn’t been told who had started it. Would the senshis and knights really start a war they couldn’t possibly win? It was probably the negaverse who started it and the senshis and knights being awakened may have been a response to it. He didn’t know for sure though.
He chuckled at the cat’s mention of bosses and underlings. “Yeah… I’m hoping to raise my rank soon. I don’t like being stuck in this lieutenant stage too much. They expect you too much of you even though we’re the weakest of the bunch.” Had he even won a single battle at this point? Battles had ended in ties sure, but winning? He couldn’t remember doing that as of yet.

His teeth gingerly removed a small morsel of meat from between the noodles, savoring the flavor as he took his time chewing the piece. There were veggies scattered among the pale noodles, but the meaty bits were by far the best part of this particularly free lunch.
Watching the Lieutenant's expression as he mentioned the war between forces had been amusing - this guy clearly wasn't into the game anymore than Bob had been. Whoever this General Benny was, he sounded like he needed a few lessons in inspiring the underlings if he wanted to continue being a competent General.
"So what's the game plan, then?" Leaning down, he slurped up the remains of the noodle knot he'd been working on, one ear twitching as he moved a paw up to clean it of greasy, soupy noodle remains. "Surely you've got an idea of how you're going to rise to the top, right?"

Tom shrugged in reply. "I'm not really sure if I want to get to the top, or at least to the general stage. I'll probably just do my duty as much as possible and hopefully they'll promote me or something." He hadn't exactly gone against any Negaverse orders yet, only he hadn't killed anyone, whether it be knight or senshi. It's not as if he had ignored them though. He just wasn't into the whole "kill" thing yet.
He watched Bob eat a bit more of the meal before getting up and stretched a bit. He had been sitting on the bench for a while now at least. He wasn't going to go anywhere, since he still wanted to read his book and enjoy the fresh spring air, but one had to get up for a bit so they didn't get too stiff. He already sat on his butt way too much.
"I'm guessing they don't do much with you guardians if you can so easily go about lazing on the job." He wished he could do that, but alas, there were quotas to fill.

His ears perked up at the last comment, green eyes widening ever so slightly at the insinuation. If this fella decided to out him for slacking, things could take a turn for the worse, at least where Bob's schedule was concerned.
Licking his lips one final time, the ginger cat hopped from the bench and stretched his own legs. Eyes moved upwards to follow the young man, at least until the soft jingle in the distance caught his attention, his furry head turning in the direction of the nearby street. It sounded happy. Melodious. It sounded like ice cream.
"It's not something I really want to find out, if you catch my drift." His gaze cut back towards the civilian Lieutenant, then towards the hedge as paws began to quickly move in the direction of the ice cream truck. Since they were in the park, the truck should surely stop by soon, right?
Hopping into the bushes, he glanced back towards the young man. "I'm sure you'll figure it out, kiddo, whichever path you end up taking. In the meantime, mine is leading for some chocolate chip."
With that and a loud rustle, the Guardian disappeared into the brush, quickly chasing after the white and blue truck slowly creeping down the street.

Tom wouldn't tell anyone about Bob slacking off, he knew he hadn't been the best at doing his "part" to aid the Negaverse, so he couldn't really be a tattle tail when it came to someone else. He looked over at the now mostly empty take-out containers and sighed, picking them up and throwing them in the nearby trash can.
At least now he would be able to get some more reading done, and so he settled back down on the bench. However, after just a few minutes he felt his stomach rumbling with hunger. I really should have eaten more of that meal. He thought to himself as he tried his best to ignore it.Ghouliboo Last post from me! Thanks so much!
