[ 1. Bruce ; Eltrut ; Jolly Rogers ; Open to All ]

Information is key, he knew that much. Bruce made his way to the Jolly Rogers fairly quick once he found out about it. He was keeping himself to the shadows and the shallows so to speak, not diving in further to the society here or coming to terms too strong with the fact this seemed somewhat permanent for most people..

Bruce was sitting on the floor by a stack of historical texts and maps of the explored areas. He'd also gotten himself a small journal to keep track of comings, goings, people he'd met and as his current page stated: anything and everything about riftfarers... he was furiously noting anything he could find- however slight.

[ 2. Bruce ; Eltrut ; Cosmo Conservatory ; Closed to Turo ]

The Cosmo Conservatory was a respite. He'd found some pamphlets on it, and heard some talk here and there as he grew closer to the area. He debated on it for some time, passing by initially but quickly turned on his heels towards it with a change of heart.. He could use the breather from everything else.

He kept his head down and quiet for most of his walk through. Just observing the entry areas by the reception at first, watching people work.. come and go. Eventually he made his way further in. Hands fidgetting less and attentiveness waning, his brain allowing itself a rest in a more assuredly safe zone.

He'd paused for maybe half a second in the grasslands to take a breather when suddenly he was being knocked down. His heart hammered hard as he floundered and squirmed.. only to realize it was a rather large three headed dog that was licking over his face and barking excitedly.

His heart stopped skipping and he let out a somewhat bamboozled laugh and moves his hands up to rub at its middle head with a huff.

"You're an eager lil- or.. not so little guy, huh? Come on- let me up, okay?" He pleads a bit on deaf ears as the dog flops over onto him with its body weight, causing him to wheeze a bit. "okay- no- not what I meant..."

[ 3. Bruce ; Eltrut; Fairy Fire Fabrics ; Open to All ]

His next stop was the clothier. He didn't have much to his name yet but he wasn't so sure how much he could trust this bar on powers here. He wanted to be ready if someone else had a turn, wouldn't do good to walk in here half naked later on..

Bruce was browsing some of the fabric rolls and rubbing the back of his head. His eyes skimming the purple satin in front of him before sighing and moving on to another more cotton-y roll. Eventually his pacing came to a stop for a longer breath and he finally looked over to someone else nearby.

"Do you.. sorry, hi. Do you know if they have anything more.. stretchy here? Or if it can be made? I don't want to make a fool of myself walking up with that ask."

"Ah- are you doing alright over there?"

Turo had been doing his usual rounds, as it wasn't always a case of one of the volunteers -or longer time workers- stumbling upon a sick or injured animal that had them coming to the medical building. Always felt it was playing on the safer side to take a look himself; allowed for him to do a few 'easy' check-ups as well, ensure those released into the sanctuary were adapting or healing well.

Still, his voice did carry—tone friendly with that tinge of worry, given the size the cerebi pups had grown to.

His approach was leisurely enough as well, even with the strange robotic creature walking just behind like a guard of sorts; 'at ease', or as well as Iron Valiant could be.

"They and their siblings are still young enough to get overly rambunctious, and forget their own size." That was a Dog Thing™ as far as he was aware, of course.
