Let’s see how it works out, then.
[He’ll extend a hand for a friendly handshake.]
I think introductions are in order regardless. I’m Tarrlok.

No, it’s fine, really. A hot cup of tea is usually appreciated after working with ice, even if it’s unflavored.
[He’ll pick up his cup and take a sip.]
...and yes, everyone is certainly forward here, aren’t they? I suppose different cultures have different views on sexuality and intimacy, but I can’t say I’ve seen anything as intense as this.

[Hearing that puts him at ease enough to not worry about whether or not serving plain tea was acceptable to his guest.]
No? Where I am from these things are spoken about and engaged in openly. My family on the other hand was quite...traditional. I discovered things a little later in life.
[He's not sure why he's sharing that, but takes a sip of his tea to stop himself from oversharing. Though the other man did see him disrobed, so perhaps that supersedes everything? But it wasn't the least bit intimate, at least.]

[Honestly, all things considered, Tarrlok feels like he might be the one escorting... but it doesn’t really hurt to have an extra pair of eyes here.]
Sounds like a plan. You keep an eye out for me, and I’ll take care of the vines as they come.

...yes, of course. I’m not really much of a vacation person, honestly, but...
[Hmnnnnnn...]
Admittedly, it’s hard to think of it as a vacation when there’s vegetation growing out of all the plumbing.

[Temple is willing to concede that.]
Yeah, you have a point there.
But I’m sure this vine problem will get fixed. I doubt the Prismals are any fonder of it than we are.

Why would I mind? After all, it’s more fun to have someone you can have a decent conversation with. I’ve nevet really understood the more conservative types who can’t get with the times in that regard.
[At the very least, the Northern Water Tribe was getting better about that... but man, was Republic City ever a breath of fresh air in a lot of ways.]

Indeed. That's one of the hardest stains to get out after all. [Just in case he had any illusions left about that part.
Oh there's the next one!]
If they left it open ended, I guess we'd have almost no chance of getting it right... That being said, you strike me as a dog person.

[He tries not to think about how the perception of their roles has now reversed from their past encounter.]
Um... Sure thing, pal! As a detective, detecting things come naturally to me! So you can count on me!

Is it...
[you're boring, Junko. Anyway, he'll go ahead and hit the button, revealing the next question...]
If there were two guys on Iris and one of them killed the other with a rock would that be fucked up or what?
1. Yes
2. No
3. What?
...

I'm not sure if they have it where you're from, but it's a Northern Water Tribe food called akutaq. It's kind of like ice cream, except we use various kinds of animal fat instead of cream and it can be sweet or savory. Though... you can use vegetable shortening too, I suppose, but I don't like that as much.
[At least the high end stuff uses real seal fat! It's good stuff!]
But yes, coffee is a fairly good pair for sweets, if you ask me.

Well, it does depend on the environment, I suppose. Back in the Northern Water Tribe, we tend to keep things like that behind closed doors, but Republic City can be a little bit looser depending on what company you're keeping.
I don't think it's quite as extreme as putting intoxicants in chocolate that make you really want to hold people's hands, though.

Oh, I agree. I'm sure it'll be more of a proper vacation once things quiet down, but until then... I suppose all I can do is try and do my part.
[Temple nods.]
I’m going to try to do my part too. I can’t do what you can do with ice but I’m sure there’s something I can do.

[...well, uh, he's. He's sure he can get out of this alive but.
Anyway.]
Oh... no, I meant that back home, well... I've seen plenty of normal cats and dogs around, but we also have polar bear dogs and cat deer and that sort of thing. But... well, I suppose I can't confirm or deny, can I?
[...he does like dogs...]

Of course, Detective. I'm sure we'll have this taken care of in no time.
[TIME TO HEAD ON FORWARD!]

Isn't it?
[For a guy who looked to be about Kairi's age-- and more boring-- this man had good taste. Mordred grinned, pleased with this turn.]
It's a shame everyone's scared to try. They're missing out... but that means more for us.

Akutaq. [ Which he repeats curiously, head tilted and does his best to image what such a treat could look like. He's right on the mark but he chooses to stay mostly silent to listen to description. ]
I'm glad you think so. [ it makes him happy to hear! that he's found someone else who may enjoy coffee as well? ] But yes, you're right that we don't have that where I'm from. It's the first I've heard of something like it.

That's right, pal!! Those plants won't know what hit 'em!
[AND ONWARDS THEY GO!]

[And she accepts said handshake, gripping his hand firmly.]
I'm Cyrus.

See? Nothing wrong with being a little adventurous, is there?
[ He, for one, finds all of this to be quite entertaining. Interesting, too, and there will be plenty of more serious things to address later; for now, though, there's no harm in having a little fun. ]
Might as well show ourselves friendly and do like the natives do.

...oh. It sounds like I missed out on the worst of it, but... yes. It's a little impolite even when it comes to the milder things.
You might be able to ask the Moon Knights if they have any extra weaponry? I really don't know what sorts of things they'd be able to provide or if they're even willing, but they seem to be the authorities here.
[Temple nods.]
I suppose I could.
I’m not good with weaponry but I can’t do magic so I suppose it will have to do.
