[The chicken seems happy to be home at least, but Alphen's motion doesn't go noticed. It seems to walk back to Alphen, but doesn't do much. It's eyes staring at Alphen for a good moment, before it returns to the chicken coop with all the other chickens now. Astralin ensuring that she goes back home, as his eyes temporarily follow the chicken's movements to go back. A sigh of relief escaping from his lips as he turns his attention back to Alphen with a fairly friendly smile.]
Very well, if you are sure. That particular chicken you saved... Is named Scramble. She seems to have a knack for finding trouble... But I will ensure that she does not get loose next time.
[There's a soft chuckle in there, and Astralin takes off his dirty gardening gloves so that he can shake Alphen's hand. Surprisingly, Alphen didn't ring any of his usual paranoia, so he's at ease when he walks toward Alphen, and gently reaches out for his hand to shake it.]
My name is Astralin Turnont. I own this humble farm. And you are...?
[Alphen can't help a little smile at the chicken's behavior -- he's never had much familiarity with animals, but there's something so relatable in the way they act, sometimes. Maybe that's part of why people like them so much...he could see it, if that's the case. He gives the chicken a very small goodbye wave before turning his attention back to the farm owner.]
Scramble? Like an egg?
[Of course that's his first association with the word. Of course it is. Anyway, he offers a hand for Astralin to shake, giving a friendly smile as he does it.]
Alphen. It's nice to meet you. Have you been here long, Astralin? All of this... [He gestures at the farm.] It seems like it must have taken quite a while to get it set up.
Ah... I believe so... I do think that was Shinjiro's implication, but I never thought about it too hard. I suppose it is a bit of a dark, comedic name, but I do not have the heart to change it.
[Scramble... I mean, he's also associating Scramble with a scrambled egg, so. He's a bit of an idiot himself, to be honest, as he happily shakes Alphen's hand. The man seemed quite kind, and didn't seem to show any signs of hostility... So it was nice to be able to speak to someone without his awkwardness coming into play.]
A pleasure to meet you. I thank you again for bringing her back home.
[A pause, and his eyes dart around the farm. He has to admit, that they did get it done quite quickly... That, and he owes a huge debt to the people of Aldrip.]
Mm... No, not at all. The people of Aldrip work rather quickly, and most of the town came out to help when I built this farm. I owe them quite a great deal, in fact. But ah... I believe I came here in March. And you, Alphen? Have you been here long?
