Rocky chuckled. That was good to hear.
"That could be pretty useful for a variety of things I imagine. You could probably make a bit of money off your talents if you find someone willing to use them for a fireworks show or something like that. I imagine there are plenty of stage performances that could use smoke bombs, or some other pyrotechnics to spruce up their show." The raccoon said cheerfully.
He really did love talking to people. Having friends was a wonderful thing, and being able to talk to friends who were Corives was always a fantastic thing to do. Science just made everything better and easier to understand in his book.
The raccoon glanced at his own plate. He had almost eaten the entire dish in five minutes or so. He really needed to learn how to eat slowly when a guest at someone's house. He went back to focusing on the conversation instead. "I hope I'm not being to forward or anything, I would hate to be rude when you've been so very nice."

Seki found that he smiled more genuinely around Rocky. He was very nice, and always seemed so genuinely interested in everything. And he seemed to know just what to say to boost the feline's shattered self-esteem.
The possibility of work would be nice, then maybe he wouldn't feel so worthless all the time.
"That would be nice, I think." He fidgeted slightly, poking his food again. It was so hard to eat and he was so full, but he was doing his best to get the rest of the plate down.
Ophelia continued to watch their interactions from the corner of her eye, slightly uncertain about the two of them but quite pleased to see Seki actually looking hopeful. She would have to invite Rocky over more often.
"Oh not at all, Rocky! You've been a wonderful guest." She finished up a few more bites, debating for a moment the prospect of research. "Perhaps, after dinner, you'd be interested in stepping downstairs to try out some theories before you go?"

Rocky perked. Apparently it was possible for him to perk even more than he already was. Cheerful went to a whole new level. "I would absolutely love to test some of the theories!"
The opportunity to work with someone so famous made Rocky shake with complete and utter joy. It was like a dream come true. How could this actually be happening? Seki was absolutely a godsend! If he hadn't met him when he had... oh this really was happening!
Kid in a candy store was an understatement. The raccoon did his best to contain his happiness. A wide smile was on his face, and refused to leave no matter how hard he tired to make it go away. "Thank you for such a once in a life time opportunity Miss Ophelia!"
Wait until he told Ataxia about this. At least she could appreciate such things, unlike Loreta. This was amazing.

"You're very welcome, I always enjoy working with other talented scientists." Ophelia couldn't help but like Rocky. He was so cheerful and, despite Ophelia's best attempts to remain humble, she really did enjoy all his fawning. After a few more minutes Ophelia finished off the rest of her plate and lifted up, beginning to clean up the table. Seki cast his father a nervous look, wishing she would take the plate.
But she didn't.
Seki sighed to himself, ears flattening back a little as he forcefully downed the rest of his food. His stomach hurt something awful, but that wasn't new... what was new was the increasing urge to be sick. With his previous captors he'd been completely unable to be sick, fear of being punished had prevented that, but at home... The feline swallowed deeply and curled up a little in his chair, hoping he would be unnoticed as Ophelia spoke with Rocky.
"Shall we?" She motioned toward the door with a smile.

Rocky lit up like a Christmas tree. His wings puffed up in joy as he heard the deer's words. "Of course!" The raccoon said cheerfully, completely forgetting about.... everything.
He wanted to dance, sing, something. All of it. Even if he had no talent. This was one of the happiest moments in his life. The raccoon paused though. He turned to Seki, and suddenly gave him a firm hug before letting go.
"Thank you, without you I wouldn't have had this opportunity to meet you and your father! I'm so happy we met Seki!" Rocky said cheerfully.
The raccoon turned to Ophelia to the largest smile possible without looking crazy (he hoped) and was more than ready to follow her. It had been a while since he was this thrilled. Not since... oi. He missed Ataxia. He stuffed the small hint of depression down and washed it over with cheerfulness.

Seki, no matter how ill he felt, could help but smile when Rocky spoke to him. The raccoon was just so happy, so... nice. The feline smile and his expression lightened a little as he gently found himself returning Rocky's generous hug.
When he leaned back, the feline attempted to return a little bit of Rocky's joy. "I'm happy we met too!" The exuberance didn't really seem to sound as good coming from him and he instantly shrank down again, blushing through his meek smile. "I'm glad I could help." He fell silent for a moment, embarrassed and a little queasy, and watched the thrilled raccoon-taur move to meet up with his father. "...Thank you for saving me.." The words were unbearably soft in the wake of Rocky's cheer, probably unheard, but they were there. He couldn't really say it out loud, but he couldn't just say nothing either.
Ophelia smiled fondly at the interaction between the taur and her son. It was sweet, wonderfully sweet, and she was utterly glad her little boy had someone so kind to fall back on... Seki of all people needed it.
When they were done with their exchange of thanks and gratitude, the serpentine doe beckoned Rocky to follow and moved toward the lab. "I'm really looking forward to this, I've heard such intriguing things about your research, Rocky!"

The raccoon was a whole new level of happy. It was nice making threads, and he was happy to make someone like Seki smile. As he turned to meet with Ophelia he heard a whisper, unable to catch the clear words. He did however turn around to give Seki another smile.
He just hoped that it wasn't anything too important. Being the happy and bubbly raccoon he was, the thought didn't weigh on him. He would deal with it later.
He looked at the woman brightly. She had heard things about his research? The very thought just made him want to skip with joy. He knew that some people knew of him, and since he had been a success, plenty of people were asking him to give them wings. Now he was actually making money doing what he loved.
And someone famous knew him.
"You have? That's quite exciting to hear! I've heard a lot about your research... just like the rest of Corivstowne. But to be able to see it...."
