OPEN once a fool

The wolfdog absolutely beamed at the sight of Meteor. If he thought the lioness with a mane was cool, this guy was much cooler. With his breath returning, there was another burst of excitement that had him up bouncing on his paws. "Aye, that's me, sir! It's a pleasure to meet you! Say, how many creatures drown from falling off those stones behind us?" Knox wasn't much of a talker, at least from his experience, but maybe Meteor would have more to say about it. 

Right, the reason he was there in the first place. Tommy's eyes darted toward the wrecked lands, widening again, nodding along as it was explained what even happened in the first place. "You've an active volcano here!? Wow, awesome. I mean, not so awesome that it ruined your land and all that. But hey, that is why I'm here to help out! Well, really I'm here for the weed, but I like helping out and stuff, too! I also never had crab before, that should be interesting. What even is coconut crab?" 

He very quickly switched attention to Dead Eye, another canine! And man, he looked wicked at that. These island folks were getting cooler by the second, they couldn't be all that bad honestly. "Ohhhh, definitely not Tom. No way." Beside that, he really wasn't sure what he preferred. He only introduced himself as Tommy because that's what Ghost called him all the time. But Thomas sounded much more mature now that he thought about it. "Oh, oh, I think I like Thomas more actually!"
