[Nope, not gonna have one, not going to give Luffy the satisfaction! Also, he's learned that ferrets are actually carnivores, so the grapes don't interest him that much...

But now that he's free!!! He promptly hops from the table to a chair and then tumbles to the floor, before darting off to hide behind a barrel. Though he doesn't stay there for long -- really, sometimes this body moves too quickly for his brain to even keep up with. In any case, he's poking his head out half a second later and making more dooking sounds at Luffy.

Wanna play? He's really good at hide and seek like this!!

.....Wait, no. What?]

[meatthefuture]

[blinks as the weasel who he's decided to call Weasely for absolutely no purpose and having nothinng to do with any kind of metatextual irony decides to weasel his way off the table.

But then gets it and grins when he pokes his head around the barrel]

Shishishi You wanna play!

Okay!

[belly flops on the floor and snakes his way over to the barrel to try and catch him]

[dragonbadfaith]

[No he doesn't!!!

...

But you're so not gonna catch him.

Draco chirps and ducks behind the barrel again, only to dart back out the other side and sprint across the galley floor, past Luffy and over to the chairs. He winds around them a few times, eventually bumping into a table leg and tumbling a bit because of it. But he rights himself and quickly scurries up onto a chair, peeking around it to find Luffy again.

Since, in all his scampering about like a nutter, he forgot that he was supposed to be hiding.]

[meatthefuture]

[laughs as Draco escapes, enchanted by him skittering around and then watches him peeking like he wants to be chased now]

Here I come!

[and he divebombs the table intent on catching him. But not too intent. The chase isn't fun if it's over too soon]

[dragonbadfaith]

[Quickly rolls out of the way -- and therefore right off the chair, tumbling to the ground again and scooting backwards away from Luffy, making those dooking sounds the whole time.

He waits for Luffy to get up again, hopping all around, sometimes darting forward a step or two only to retreat again.

It's like he's saying: "Can't catch me, can't catch me, nyah!!"]

[meatthefuture]

[dooks back at him mixed with shishishis and wiggles after him before trying to pounce again, both hands ready to catch at him]

[dragonbadfaith]

[Dashes forward as Luffy lunges, sprinting right underneath him between his legs.

Though he might've forgotten in this state that Luffy's arms stretch.]

[meatthefuture]

[Luffy didn't forget and nabs him! But then just laughs and rubs his face against the ferret's soft fur]

That was great. I'm glad you came along.

[dragonbadfaith]

[Squeals a bit as he's nabbed, but the laughter and fur nuzzling makes him calm down and he just dooks a little pitifully at Luffy when he pulls back.

...And then figures that's probably enough. THE GIG IS UP.

So quite abruptly there's no longer a ferret in Luffy's hands, but a Draco sitting there on the floor with him and pouting a bit grumpily, because grumpy is how he do.]

1/3

[meatthefuture]

[is suddenly holding a Draco by the shoulders. Luffy just stares at him a moment]

EHHHHHHH?

[meatthefuture]

You can shape shift, too?!

[that is so cool!]

[meatthefuture]

You should definitely come be my pet.

[no that should at least be nakama, Luffy]

[dragonbadfaith]

[...Aww, just when he was starting to look a bit smug, too.

INSTEAD, Draco gives an almighty scowl and stands up abruptly, trying to back out of Luffy's grip and probably failing.]

I will not be your pet, how dare you! Malfoys are not PETS.

[meatthefuture]

Be my friend then.

[he was a bit too big for Zoro's haramaki after all]

[dragonbadfaith]

[Stops struggling and just blinks at him.]

...Do you really just ask people that?

[meatthefuture]

Haha Sometimes they just know. [or he just decides without asking them. But who said anything about asking when friendship is concerned] You smell different as a person. [weird]

[dragonbadfaith]

[Lifts his chin haughtily.]

Well, I should hope so. Ferrets aren't exactly known for their pleasant aroma.

[Pins a look on him suddenly.]

Note that I said ferrets, because my Animagus form is most definitely NOT a weasel.

[meatthefuture]

What's an amiganus form? Can you do other angimans?

[dragonbadfaith]

Animagus, and no. Every wizard only has one.

[SIGHS.]

I was hoping mine would be something cooler.

[meatthefuture]

Yeah, me too. [not that it wasn't cool but more was better] I liked your dooks. We should do it again!

[dragonbadfaith]

[Snorts lightly.]

Don't get your hopes up. [...] I mean, perhaps, but I make no promises.

[Playing games with someone as a ferret feels like it should be embarrassing or something. Even though he finds he doesn't really care all that much. There aren't many people in this world that he feels the need to keep up appearances with, to be honest.]

[meatthefuture]

Woohoo! [yay! New half pet/half friend! This is gonna be awesome] I'm gonna take you on all kinds of adventures and we can go exploring and sneaking around and you can dook at people.

[the dooking is important]

[dragonbadfaith]

[Arches an eyebrow, but at least he looks faintly amused.]

Hate to break it to you, mate, but I'm not on your crew.

[meatthefuture]

So what? We can still go on adventures. That's what the Nav things for. [starts searching around for something to nom]

[dragonbadfaith]

Fair enough, I just don't want you thinking I'm going to be available at your every beck and call.

[He steps back like he's going to take his leave, before pausing and glancing at Luffy curiously.]

You're not even going to ask why I was on your ship in the first place?
