>'GAAAAAAHH! DAMN, DAMN, DAAAAAAAMN!'You try to search for something to say, an excuse maybe, but whatever words you think of just keep getting caught in your throat. You didn't think you'd get caught in this net so soon, you haven't even prepped a back-up response! You stutter and stutter and stutter some more, you can't think straight all of a sudden. "Um...."
As a matter of fact, neither can he.
"SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
A vine raises to quell your underachiever's nervousness.
"No bothers.""..."
Subo hops closer and lowers his tone ever so slightly.
"I won't ask what you really are, why you've come, or what you've planned to do. Though I've invested little into it, I know it's not my place to regulate the orders of divinity."He then gestures to your plate.
"It's on the house. All of it."
"W-Whoa.. Really?"
"Yes. You've more pressing matters to deal with.
Just remember, this place is a repose from the gloom. Should you find yourself wandering the darkness, you're welcome to come back anytime.

"I.. have a daughter. I had promised her I'd take her to see the wonders of the surface one day. Her mother's waiting patiently for us.. A bright sky, a cool breeze, a nice, warm sun..""Is that kind of future in your cards? I wonder.."
