[ He's going to be quiet until they can get out of the arcade, at which point he pretty much immediately seems to feel better. Standing up to his proper height instead of mildly slouching. ]
[ There is definitely an inexorable delight about watching sticky hands do their thing. Marcoh watches this happen and just. Stares at the slapped hand on the wall. ]
Mm. I've known him for a great deal of my life. He's much older than I am, however.
[ eepy old man... ]
I'm no immortal, and have no desire to be. Foxians are just a long lived race - around three hundred years is the typical, though I've known some to reach another century after that through pure willpower, and healthy living.

These are toys, right?
no subject
They are, yes. Do you not have anything like these? [ please tell him you had toys, ]
no subject
[ He sure as hell didn't have sticky hands and plastic frogs. ]
It'd be like. A ball maybe.
no subject
[ a little nod. ]
I may keep one or two for myself. I'm fascinated by the small sticky hands.
no subject
Not gonna lie he kind of wants Jiaoqiu to say 'small sticky hands' again. It's just inherently such a phrase. ]
I don't see why not. If they're this easy to get, too.
no subject
I wonder how long they'd stay on a wall...
no subject
[ Do it. Sticky the wall. ]
no subject
it slaps against the wall. blows gently in the wind... ]

[ It's not stuck there forever... right? ]

Seems so.
no subject
[ He's not sure how to ask this without being rude but. ]
Are you bad of sight?
no subject
a beat. ]
Well, I am getting on in years, so doesn't that make sense? It doesn't affect much, I do just fine.
no subject
You don't look very old.
no subject
I'm over two hundred years old, you know.

I barely know anyone over 70. 80 is usually the upper limit.
90 is practically a mummy...
no subject
[ he says this sort of... tiredly. but, then, like he's working himself back up to teasing: ]
A mummy, eh? The disrespect I've gotten from you young ones, these days.
no subject
[ Right Jiaoqiu is ANCIENT. ]
no subject
Marcoh, if I could ask a favor of you?
no subject
no subject
no subject
Sure.
...Will you be alright?
[ Things suggest Jiaoqiu isn't BLIND but. ]
