ᅠ momma . fluffy . ᅠ

ᅠ then it ' s death by big fluffy herself . ᅠ

ᅠ ESPECIALLY . YOU . ᅠ

ᅠ thanksgiving is right ' round th ' corner , so y ' all know what that means .ᐟ ᅠ

ᅠ no . ᅠ

ᅠ hwhat th ' hell did ah miss . ᅠ

ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠ yeah , no , that fucking hurts . to a recoiling point ; as one ' s rough red palm reaches out on instinct for the crustacean ' s head . for the tail fin to take him down with him , more than likely , as the adrenaline and fury kick in . ᅠᅠᅠ ouuhh . ᅠ

ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠ and without a moment ' s warning .ᐟ.ᐟ damn , shrimpo , kick his can .ᐟ.ᐟ friendly fire will not be tolerated .ᐟ.ᐟ ᅠᅠᅠ the impact sends sprout back into the kitchen table ; tumbling down , crashing even . and the broom in the chef ' s hands .ᐣ ++ ᅠ

ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠ and cue an eye twitch . wuh ouh . `` wanchu t ' try me , shrimp . ah ' ll fry you into tempura before you can even swing . `` ᅠ

ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠ careful , now . grip that broom any tighter and it may snap .ᐟ `` do . you want uh fight . — ' cause this here is uh sure way ' ve gettin ' one . `` ᅠ

ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠ ever wondered how angry a strawberry could get .ᐣ well , feast your eyes .ᐟ — ᅠᅠᅠ almost 𝘪𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 upon his impact with the countertop , the chef took a firm hold of the broom already in his hold and shouted ; `` what is yer deal .ᐣ.ᐣ huh .ᐣ.ᐣ `` ᅠ

ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠ movement caught from the corner of the chef ' s eye alerts him . his attention snaps , and a hard stare is made straight towards shrimpo . ᅠᅠᅠ 𝘥𝘰𝘯 ' 𝘵 . ᅠ

ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠ he ' s not really doing much . other than , y ' know . — mumbling to himself , cleaning ; using a borrowed broom for the floors . ᅠᅠᅠ something to thank tisha for later on , definitely . ᅠ

ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠ oh .ᐟ lost puppy behavior .ᐟ .. yeah , he ' s going to continue to ignore that . ᅠᅠᅠ things to do , places to be ; that sorta thing . ᅠ

ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠ he ' s quiet , again . `` don ' t hafta stick around fer this . walkin ' away now , appetizer . `` ᅠ speaking while turning , duh .ᐟ.ᐟ walking off .ᐟ.ᐟ ᅠ

ᅠ `` .. right . `` ᅠ oh . cue a subtle eye twitch .ᐟ.ᐟ `` goobin ' ought t ' teach y ' new manners . preferably before ah take a crack at it . `` ᅠ

ᅠ `` better term is ' bittersweet , ' shrimp . no shame in bein ' an aquired taste . `` ᅠ

ᅠ `` well yers is c - shaped . yet ah don ' t go ' round callin ' you a see - yew - en - tee , now , do i .ᐣ `` ᅠ

ᅠ `` an ' they say friendly fire ain ' t a thing . `` ᅠ muttering .ᐣ.ᐣ.ᐣ ᅠ

ᅠ HEH . ᅠ

ᅠ `` too much . `` ᅠ

ᅠ `` back from th ' dead ah see . `` ᅠ

ᅠ `` checks out . just .. worried , ' bout er ' nose . was broken last ah checked . `` ᅠ

ᅠ `` is .. goobin ' alright .ᐣ still sleepin ' , ah take it .ᐣ `` ᅠ

OOC. // And good morning to you too Rimey. /silly

ᅠ `` well that sure does suck , fried rice compliment .ᐟ cause i ain ' t ledding you try ANYTHING on yer own after this past month . `` ᅠ

ᅠ `` you ' think . ' hm hm . `` ᅠ

ᅠ `` ah ' d rather make sure it gets done right th ' first time . simple as that . `` ᅠ

ᅠ `` shrimpo do not make me pin you . `` ᅠ

ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠ that ' s for the best . ᅠᅠᅠ but with the glass gone , guess what ' s next .ᐣ disinfectant and bandage wrapping .ᐟ — featuring a surprise medkit sprout pulls from underneath the sink . ᅠ

ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠ grumbling .. something . probably not important , nope . guh . — but .ᐟ.ᐟ at least the last shard is out .ᐟ.ᐟ `` done . `` ᅠ a grunt from the chef is accompanied by the clattering of pliers . the bowl with glass shards is carried off after the fact . ++ ᅠ

ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠ answer ' s obvious .ᐟ `` .. mm . `` ᅠ squinting . slooowly getting back to his leg , refocusing . — the second shard is , although carefully , quickly plucked and discarded . ᅠ

ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠ staring . dead at him . ᅠ

ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠ oh , there ' s the forced grin again . eughh . `` ah could go slower .ᐣ `` ᅠ

ᅠ `` would you rather do it yourself .ᐣ.ᐣ `` ᅠ frustration 100 . but , uh .. don ' t actually answer that . please . ᅠᅠᅠ first shard is out and put into the bowl before either of them knew it . ignore the ichor .ᐟ ᅠ

ᅠ `` glad we ' re on th ' same page . sooner this is done , th ' better . `` ᅠ clip clip , snapping the pliers . be fucking forreal . ᅠᅠᅠ now cue seedly veerryy carefully pulling on the first shard .. ᅠ

ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠ the easy part , getting him seated , is done . yeah .ᐟ woo yippiee .ᐟ — now what's assumably the hard part . `` now , gon ' needja t ' hold yerself reeeal still . s ' gonna hurt way worse if yer movin ' . `` ++ ᅠ

ᅠ `` .. yes , shrimpo . ah ' d rather not remove glass from yer leg while yer usin ' it t ' stand . `` ᅠ

ᅠ `` ah , goobin ' .ᐟ get ' er off th ' floor atcher own convienience .ᐟ `` ᅠ okay buddy . the sass is unnecessary , seedly . `` offa th ' floor and into uh bed , preferably . `` ᅠ

ᅠ `` oh my g — WHERE . is cosmo .ᐣ.ᐣ could reeeally use an extra set uh hands .ᐟ.ᐟ `` ᅠ

ᅠ `` ' oh . ' yeah yer all DONE . `` ᅠ

ᅠ `` YER LEG HAS LITERAL GLASS SHARDS IN IT . `` ᅠ

ᅠ `` both of you need to LIE . DOWN . `` ᅠ

ᅠ `` oh thank fuck . `` ᅠ

ᅠ `` won ' t say it again . do NOT make me snatch you . `` ᅠ

ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠ oh . oh he looks about ready to crash OUT . christ he ' s fuming ; steaming from the ears , even .ᐟ `` treat . yer wounds . — kitchen , now . `` ᅠ

ᅠ `` do not . start . `` ᅠ

ᅠ `` .. goobin ' ll be .. fine . just fine . she ain ' t goin ' anywhere while you n ' little craft ' re still around . `` ᅠ trying to brush off the worse thoughts , truthfully . but he knows better than to doubt . ++ ᅠ

ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠ mm . at least the assumption is pretty spot - on ; sprout being only an inch below a certain fluffy craft DOES still put him in the top three tallest toons . curse that stupid balloon , too . `` clearly . `` ᅠ guh . bitter berry . ᅠ

ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠ eye twitch . oh . `` wouldn ' t ' ve even been in that situation if you ' d have just kept clear ' ve them goddamn elevators . `` ᅠ
