>>12662687You give him the horrifying news.
Tai feels around his face, "A durian...in MY eye...?"
His hand touches part of the durian, which is lodged about halfway into his eye socket, piercing his based husbando green eyes.
As soon as his hand makes contact, he loses it.
A horde of Fletchlings fly away from their tree perches as soon as they hear him.
In a rare instance of an emotion other than rudeness, Tai panics, "SHOULD I TAKE IT OUT OR SHOULD I LEAVE IT IN SHOULD I TAKE IT OUT OR SHOULD I LEAVE IT IN, AAAAAAAAAAGH!"
Eventually you just yank it out of his eye for him, rather harsh-like too. What remains of his eye is nothing like the emerald gem that it once was.
It was red, bloodshot, puffy, and leaking some sort of mixture of tears and pus.
"Does...does it look okay?"
You turn away in order to cough, but give him a thumbs up.
Tai doesn't catch on, and you take this opportunity to explain to him about the cassette you just received. Of course, being the type of person that he is, he doesn't believe it.
"Hah! What a load of buh-loaners!"
Frustrated, you try to convince him that you're right, but all he takes it from it is another chance to be know-it-all scum.
He licks his finger, in almost lewd fashion, and then sticks it in the air, "See? The wind is blowing from that'away today, which means the balloon you got was from Dickston! Pfft! Why are you freaking out? I get balloon presents from there ALL the time, the chicks over there are MUCH better than the ones here, they all want me to give it to them, they even send me furniture, ain't that sweet?"
You're convinced however, that the letter isn't from one of Tai's sweethearts, had that been the case, there might have been a letter of affection or some piece of furniture.
That's something he learns on his own without you telling him, "Wait a minute....You got a letter meant for me, AND IT DIDN'T EVEN HAVE ANYTHING IN IT!"
Sort of.
