Sharing important details, yea, you’re <span class="mu-s">GETTING THERE!</span> So you went up to the counter to grab your food, right? And the girl working the register was pretty cute-
‘Click.’
No, Obber, you don’t know where he can find her… anyways, you were a bit enamored, right? But also kinda tired and really hungry, so-
“You disemboweled her?” Asks Rezzie with genuine interest in her eyes! Err, n-no, you sputter, do… is that what they do where she’s from?
“When we’re hungry, tired, or something in-between, yes.” Nods the hellthing! “It’s important to establish dominance–wouldn’t want to be disemboweled yourself because of a little sleepiness, would we?”
No… no you wouldn’t… So when the girl told you to enjoy your meal, you, uh… you said ‘<span class="mu-i">YOU TOO!</span>’
The gang falls silent as they digest your harrowing tale!
“And… and then what?” Volka meekly asks. “I mean… that was nice of you, Rook! I’ll bet she enjoyed her meal even more when she ate it later on!”
Yea, well, you didn’t really take it that way! Again, you were kinda tired and really hungry, but when you realized what you did, well, you turned and <span class="mu-i">BOOKED IT!</span>
“Ah. Yes, that’s a bit more embarrassing.” Morook nods with sympathy in his tone.
And in your flight, you add, you tripped over a shoelace and crashed into a power outlet–turns out it was powering the TVs, the jukebox, and a whole bunch of other stuff in the dining area… and you couldn’t untangle yourself without a little help from the staff..
“HA! HAHAHA! AAAAAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!!”
You can’t tell if Rezzie’s laugh is genuine or if she was just waiting for you to stop sharing before bowling over with laughter. Either way, it hurts!
“I, er…” Volka stammers, her face glowing a few shades redder as the words stumble out of her lips, “Wasn’t… always called ‘Volka’, actually…”
“A-ha! I knew it!” Toppel croons, hopping up and down like some kind of leaping plushie, “That’s a <span class="mu-s">DURHER</span> name! Suspicious indeed!”
“Riiiiight, you mentioned that in the past…” Remarks Morook with a flicker in his eyes! “Ma at the tavern called you-”
“<span class="mu-b">Kii’ttra…</span>” The Skog sighs, shivering as the word leaves her lips! “Means ‘Princess’ in Skogat…”
‘Princess’, huh…
“Might as well go too…” Her half-brother adds, earning an appreciative nod from his Skog sis in response! “I… well, I don’t remember much about my earlier life–”
“It’s because of that ‘<span class="mu-i">New Life</span>’ thing you were blathering about when we went to get the bomb, isn’t it?” Rezalith hisses with a derisive snort! “That’s weird. <span class="mu-i">You’re</span> weird!”
