*he groaned, pulling his hood up*
What the – oh… *looks at Max* Hi Max.
Carlos set his tote on the coffee table and started pull things out. “The usual,” he answered. “Some Fancy Lads, a pack of bubble gum – I was running low – A couple bottles of Nuka Cherry… oh, here’s some Nuka Dark. I don’t know what it is, but it came out of Nuka World, so I thought we’d give it a try. I also got us some cooked squirrel bits and carrots for dinner later.”
“Oooh!” The ghoul immediately went for the Nuka Dark, picking it out of the bag and studying the bottle. “I’ve heard of this stuff, supposed to be real good, near impossible to find though.” He twisted the cap off and sniffed it then took a sip and passed it to Carlos. “Got a little bit of a kick to it, actually.”
Carlos lifted an eyebrow as he recieved the bottle. “Like, what kind
of kick? Is it like the tang of Quantum?” he asked. Though Carlos
brought it up to his nose for a sniff. It did smell funny, but for
whatever reason he couldn’t place it.
Until he had a taste.
“Eek! That’s alcohol!” he exclaimed, sounding almost offended. He wasn’t actually offended however, just very surprised.

Why the hell – Max? Max, where are you buddy? I need to know how you’re feeling.
… how much do toothbrushes even cost? i’ve never had to buy one before..
Well, it depends on the kind that you get. But generally they’re pretty cheap. Especially kid’s ones.
As the summer days rolled by, a full moon crept closer and closer. Thankfully, the woods surrounding the camp were large and caves were scatted everywhere, maybe Carlos could wait this out in a cave? all he had to do was find one and hope some other animal didn’t make its home there, right? -(the worse starter maker) L
Carlos wandered through the forest. He knew he’d seen a cave somewhere – it looked like an old bear cave, though he hadn’t gone in it before. He wanted to be as far away from his camp and the summer camps, in case the children had an idea to wander around at night to hunt for snipes. The full moon would make visibility perfect for it, so it was a reasonable concern in Carlos’ mind.
He finally came across the cave he was looking for. And not too soon either – the moon would rise probably within the next ten minutes. Carlos ventured forth, holding his flashlight up to search the inside of the cave. Hopefully it was empty. Could a werewolf beat a bear? Maybe?
he huffed slightly, looking at the entrance of the cave
Carlos lifted an eyebrow in confusion. “You… do?“ he guessed.
he whined quietly, laying his head down
Carlos didn’t understand. “Drake, what do you want?” he asked.
he hesitated slightly before nunging his head against his hand, seeming abit upset
Carlos was very confused and he was honestly pretty worried. “Drake do you… need me to do something for you? Do you need me to help you?” He wasn’t even sure if Drake could understand his speech, but Carlos was going to try anyway. There wasn’t much else he could do.
he chirped softly, laying his head on Carlos’ lap, it didn’t seem like he understood the other at all
Carlos frowned, but he reached down to pet Drake’s head as he hoped to soothe the creature. He wasn’t sure what else he could do.
Maybe though, later, he could walk with Drake to the stream. It might be nice to have company.
he started to purr softly before suddenly turning into a human because anons are weird. he sat up, looking abit confused as he looked at his new body “Uh… Huh”
Carlos stared at him, wide-eyed. This was… a strange turn of events (to say teh very least). “Uh… what?”

☝️ – Tap my muse on the shoulder
Newt had been walking down the street, case in hand when he suddenly felt a tap on his shoulder. He paused, not sure who was there, but he turned to see–
“Carlos?” He asked in disbelief. It had been ages since he’d last seen the man. What were the chances of seeing him again?
“It
is.” Newt nodded, and looked over as they were approached for their
order. He ordered for the both of them, but let Carlos pick his drink
while he ordered himself a tea. He settled against the chair as they
waited, looking down at his case and smiling softly as it rattled.Carlos got some pumpkin juice to go with his meal and let the menu in his hands fly away back to where it was needed.
He heard the rattling, but initially Carlos didn’t understand where it was coming from. He looked down to see if Newt was tapping his foot when he noticed the case.
“Oh! Is everything okay in there?”
Newt looked up at the question, and smiled. “Yes, they’re just a little restless. I think that was Mary, actually.” He said. “One of the Erumpent babies.” He clarified.
“Oh!” Carlos exclaimed in an excited tone. “A baby? That’s so nice – is she new? How old is she?”
“She’s fairly new, yes.” Newt nodded. “About half a year old, now, and she’s discovered quite recently that she likes headbutting things.” He said.
Carlos snorted softly. “Uh-oh… I don’t know much about animals, but… aren’t erumpents the ones with the exploding horns?” he asked.

Newt smiled happily, and nodded. “You and my mother would get along very well.” He said with a chuckle.
Edwardo looked at Newt curiously. He smiled. “Oh? She sounds lovely already. If you don’t mind me asking, Newt, what’s your family like?”
Carlooooos, Max is –
But seriously, just spit it out. What’s going on?
I went to see BYU’s Christmas Around the World: Beyond dance show last night.
One of the dances included the depiction of a traditional Jewish wedding.

Newt gratefully accepted the conchas, and smiled warmly at the man. “Thank you.” He said, and began to nibble on it as well. “These are incredible, Edwardo.” He complimented.
“Thank you very much, Newt,” Edwardo said with a beaming grin. “If you want some more to take with you, you let me know, alright?”
“He’s getting to the Abuelito stage of his life,” Carlos whispered to Newt with a slight smirk. “He’s going to make sure you have more than enough food to eat while you’re here and when you go.”
Newt smiled gratefully at the offer, and took another bite. He tilted his head at the comment, and smiled. “Abuelito?” He asked quietly. “What’s that?” He asked.
“It means ‘little old man’,” Carlos told him. “It happens to old Hispanic people who do nothing but cook all day.”
“I can hear you, Carlito,” Edwardo said suddenly with a teasing smile to his son. “I may be old, but not old enough for my hearing to go quite yet.”
Carlos just smiled innocently at his father.
Newt smiled, and looked down with a silent chuckle. “It’s a good trait.” He said, looking to Edwardo. “It will make many people happy.” He added.
“And I like making people happy,” Edwardo agreed. “One of the surest ways to make others’ happy is through their stomach. And cooking for two boys certainly gave me a lot of practice.”
