dear_mun | Patience is a virtue

Patience? It's getting pretty dang hard for me to keep track of something I barely have with you, and patience is at the very top of my list. What's with these KIDS that keep popping up everywhere? I thought you came to this place because you were sooo excited to-

...

Ok- Ok so let me get this straight. You're not going to do anything more with me until you get through tossing me at that hunk of bolts that calls itself a robot ~~monkey~~? THEN you'll do something else? Cause I'm getting tired of sitting around- I should be all over this city now that I've got my jet!

Ugh, I KNOW it can't move.

Oh and another thing. I do NOT appreciate the presence of a certain pair in this dumb city, and you know exactly who I'm talking about. WHYYY did you let them put my jet within a rock's throw of them!? Are you trying to drive me insane?

I hope you know what you're doing, because so far I don't like it one bit.

...

I still get to use mind control on the monkey though....right?

Yaknow, kids these days don't have any patience anymore. As the story goes, 'round that place you oughta be thankful for whenever something's not going around.

And what, pray tell, is so wrong with this "pair" of which I know you're speaking, eh?

The kid I'm talking about isn't having a problem with patience- she's having a problem NOT IGNORING ME. She keeps saying I'm the one without patience, yeah right...

And everything that's what, ever since I met those two clowns. But why do you care?

Oh, let's just say I might have caught wind of them once or twice over the years. Okay, I'm listening. What're your grievances with 'em anyway?

....Well-

[He doesn't know WHY he's even explaining to this....THING- but he's feeling so agitated at a certian MUNDANE right now that he needs to vent somewhere.]

Let's just say they've been a big thorn in my side ever since we were kids. Always- ...always getting in the way and sticking their noses into places they DON'T belong. I'm sick of it!

And no matter where I go, they're there. I can't get away from those RATS!

Hah yeah, they're the very definition of scamp sometimes.

Ya ever get the idea that maybe they gotta reason for sticking their noses in?

Well- ...I don't know, but that doesn't excu-..

....W...Wait a second.... you...you're acting as if you know who I'm talking about.

Oho, I don't think someone's paying attention. Didn't I just mention I'd heard of 'em, what, two tags ago?

I am so!! But I didn't say exactly who I was talking about now did I? There's no way you could know!

Hey, who's to say I don't watch TV? I may know everything about you, and you'd never know.

W....TV? ...What are you talking about? ...I-...I never get to be on TV.

[He admits this with a sour grumble, folding his arms hard over his chest.]

The press only recognizes those Wild Rats. Never me.

Aha, is that jealousy I hear?

J..Jealous? I'm not JEALOUS!! I have no REASON to be jealous of those two bozos! I'm the greatest inventor this world has ever seen!

They...they just....haven't- ...SEEN it yet!

Sooooo? [And then suddenly Zach had a thing leaning on one shoulder with his hand in his ~~nonexistant?~~ chin.

Wait, how is he DOING that?]

You look like a stand up guy, I bet you could show them good.

[He jumps hard at the sudden closer perspective of the creature, not to mention he doesn't like him being on his shoulder like that at all. He's so surprised he doesn't even question how he got there in the first place.]

W-...what? ...Well for your information I do show them. G-Good too! I just.....

[He grimaces, grinding his teeth.] Never mind.

Then there wouldn't be a problem if ya did it right, now would there be?

Well that's just the problem then I guess, huh? I don't do it right.

[And then he hesitates- but reaches a hand out to try and push Ttark away. Somehow this character's presence is making him feel worse. He can't point out why...but he feels like he's connected to Chris and Martin. Somehow.]

No, not from what I've heard. Though... [Completely ignoring the push, he remains as close as ever while he absently looks at his fingers, brushing his knuckles on his chest.] Leavin' animals alone for one thing would be a step in the right direction. I'm gonna give you another tip, too.

[An aside glance, and there's something almost uncharacteristically threatening in those eyes. But hey, he takes people like Zach as seriously as he takes poachers.]

You. [He pokes him in the nose and bears enough weight down to try and bend Zach's head back.] Need to leave my boys alone. I don't take any guff from guys trying to mess with the Kratts.

Ghhhhgg-!

[The unexpected weight Ttark puts on him is enough to easily cause his head to crane back, his eyes darting with surprise for a split second before they settle on the creature's black pupils. But he seems to pause for a moment, almost as if he's actually considering Ttark's words.

But then the word 'Kratts' slips out of his mouth, and Zach rips his head away again with a low growl, trying again to get Ttark off of him.]

I knew you had something to do with them! [No you didn't.] You're exactly like they are, putting your big, fat nose into a place it doesn't belong. You can't tell me what to do!

None of you even understand the genius of my ideas. I don't- ...[He falters, trying to figure out how to word what he wants to say without it sounding bad- but there really IS no way.] ....I don't REALLY hurt animals, I just use them temporarily to- to you know, help me! Isn't that what Chris and Martin are going around preaching all the time in the first place? That humans and animals help each other?
