Rhonda couldn't help her excitement when she sees someone new, she's friendly to most creatures she encounters but remains loyal to her 'owner' and companion, John Dory. She ran up to Veneer and essentially also tackled him as she licked his face with her tongue in excitement, Veneer shrieked at the feeling and crawled away quickly as John Dory stood between them with his hands up to keep her from pouncing on Veneer again. Veneer was disgusted in being not just licked entirely, but to also have some of it still on him, Floyd couldn't help chuckling and only stopped once Veneer gave him the stink eye. He took the small rag Poppy offered and cleaned himself up, Rhonda whined that she couldn't greet her new 'friend' anymore and gave puppy eyes to John to let her through,
"Sorry girl, I know you're excited to meet Veneer but you have to be calm..!" he soothed her by petting her, to which she enjoyed very much with another small whine, "C'mon, let's give him some space, okay?" Rhonda reluctantly settled down, her tail still wagging furiously. John smiled and turned to Veneer, who was still wiping off the remnants of Rhonda's enthusiastic greeting, "Sorry about that, Veneer. She just loves meeting new people. She's really harmless, I promise." he grinned nervously,
"It's alright, I just wasn't expecting it. She's quite...energetic..." he smiled nervously, but Floyd was still chuckling softly and couldn't resist teasing,
"Looks like she took a real liking to you, Veneer! Must be your charming personality~" Veneer shot him another glare but chose to ignore the comment,
"Anyways...I'm sure Rhonda is really sweet, she just caught me off guard is all.." he sighed, glancing at Rhonda as she moved herself to so she presented her side to them all and the door to her entrance door, "...huh?" he was confused, he thought Rhonda was simply John Dory's pet, not his literal vehicle. John opened the door and everyone had stepped in, Poppy and Branch, Viva and Clay, and the only ones remaining were Veneer and Floyd.
He's nervous, he's never been in an actual living vehicle before, or much less ever seen one so up close. John held the door open and extended his hand out to Veneer, if he wants to keep his brother happy, he'll start by simply befriending Veneer and making him comfortable. Veneer took it and was helped up the high steps, he had to duck a bit to be able to go through the door and stepped inside, Floyd followed closely and gave John a small nod before stepping in. It didn't take long before John finally stepped inside and closed the door to which Rhonda immediately started moving, Veneer fell forwards caught himself just in time as Floyd reached for his waist,
"Wow, real smooth~" Veneer's face flushed as Clay teased and looked at them completely uninterested, Floyd's face was also flushed but he rolled his eyes and pulls Veneer along to a nearby empty seat on the long couch,
"Alright, enough with the commentary, Clay," Floyd said, though his tone was light. "It's not every day we get to ride in a living vehicle you know.." Floyd can admit he's never been in a living vehicle before, even when he traveled alone, he knew finding them out in the wild would be hard to come by and trying to tame one would be nearly impossible, so knowing John was able to befriend and share a connection with one was impressive. It's not as if Rhonda was John's actual pet, they weren't treated as such considering their vast powers that differ from vehicle to vehicle depending on their size and mode of transportation, and instead were treated as companions or even family once a connection has been established.
Veneer couldn't help but marvel at the interior of Rhonda, it was warm and cozy but well kept in clean conditions. He saw many pictures and even possessions John Dory has kept over the years from his adventures, his family and even some pictures from their boyband days, he couldn't help chuckling at one that showed the entire group wearing jean jackets, pucca seashell necklaces and even one with the band having frosted tips. It was impressive and just one glance towards Floyd tells him enough that he's embarrassed to mention it, he continued looking and awed at a picture of baby Branch. John smirked a bit as an idea popped into his head,
