He holds up a hand, placating. He wasn't trying to startle the Smeargles or Sam, even if that was the end result; he doesn't try and get any closer, now, that in mind. If anything, in fact, he takes a half-step back, putting all of his weight on his good leg.

"How long have you been working on it?"

He's curious. It's an interesting idea.

Damien hums, turning his attentions to one of the Smeargles huddled behind Sam, still. He eyes it for a moment, warily, and then when he seems to reach some sort of conclusion (namely that they're not likely to hurt him), he takes a limping step forward, to reach for the mushroom.

"How do I do this?" he asks as he rocks back.

Damien absolutely won't be getting up again, if he sits down, out here. Maybe if they were in town, as it were, and there were something within range that he could reach for, pull himself up on, but no. No, that's not plausible here, and so he best he can do is bend a little (and even that's limited, thanks to the brace on his bad leg, his left one, that runs from mid-thigh to ankle), before holding out the mushroom. At least staying still, silent is a little easier.

In the case of his leg, Damien absolutely has his pride. He probably wouldn't accept the help, for fear of being seen as weak. Thankfully for everyone involved, however, it's a moot point.

"Well, that wasn't so bad," he decides, once the Smeargle has scampered off. He straightens then, feeling it finally safe to move, and flashes Sam a crooked smile.

works for me!

"We had a cat, when I was younger," Damien answers with a shrug. A tuxedo named Snoopy, that Melinoë had Summoned for him, while they'd all been in Mementos. She could have called on the ghost of any cat, though, for how young he really was, when they'd had him, and how little he actually remembers of the cat.

"Otherwise, no," he finishes, as if that wasn't answer enough. "I think the closest I've gotten here have been exchanging nods with Raihan's little dragon thing." And help Tifa kick a nest of the cat-rabbit-bird-things off of the roof of Heavenly Blanc, not long after they'd all arrived here.

Damien wasn't planning on trying to hurt the Smeargles -- he's supposedly the villain, in his story, but he's not an idiot. He won't be kicking any puppies, metaphorically or otherwise, thanks.

Rather than tell Sam that, though, he just hums, before, "You've never seen a cat before?" Or, more importantly, his world doesn't have cats?

Damien frowns at him for a long moment, trying to decide how to explain cats without using the word in the definition. Too bad there's no internet here -- he'd just look up a cat meme. Too bad his phone doesn't have power, at the moment, out here, away from the rest of the known world and the power-bringing storms.

Finally, he decides on, "You've seen the critters some of the girls are keeping as pets, yes? Maybe small -- maybe seven pounds? -- with big ears and wings?" A beat. "I think there's a nest or two of them near Heavenly Blanc still, too."

He shrugs, before getting back on track. "The ears look like they belong on what we'd call a rabbit. The wings, a bird. The size and the fur and the retractable claws, though? That part's cat."

Broad, maybe, but not inaccurate, and so Damien nods. After a beat, and offhandedly, he adds, "We keep them as pets, where I'm from."

After another pause, he asks, "I'm assuming you're from the same world as that boy, though? Raihan?" He's mentioned Duraludon being a Pokemon and all, so it stands to reason, he thinks.

That surprises him, though he knows it shouldn't. Humans feature in any number of the worlds he's heard about, so why not Pokemon? Still, his eyebrows raise, then lower in rapid succession, a sure sign of that surprise.

"Somehow, I was expecting you to all be from the same place," he explains after a beat and wryly.

Damien hums in response to that, popping one shoulder in a shrug -- well, at least neither of them are alone, in their surprise. A pause follows, and then, backing up a little, he asks, "So, do you not have any other animals?"

If they don't have cats or rabbits or birds, it perhaps stands to reason.

"Interesting," Damien decides. A pause follows, a wry smile, and then he admits, "Not that I'm sure what to do with it." But the news, like he said, is interesting, if nothing else.
