⠀ ⠀⠀[ At some point while Tsukudani speaks, Hachi takes another sip from their mug—after this, it remains close to their face, held up as if to try to hide the Octoling that looms behind it from Tsukudani's perspective. There's just the sliiiiightest tremble in their hands due to the winter... -> ⠀

⠀ ⠀YES TSUKUDANI. GLORY TO TSUKUDANI NATION ⠀

ITS A BEAUTIFUL DAY TO GIVE ME MONEY

⠀ ⠀...this is not average for me. ⠀⠀[ met with Surume's stare, Hachi wears a downcast expression on their face. ] ⠀

⠀ ⠀mhm. reeeeeally awesome. ⠀⠀[ no, it's not. they don't like being 5'4". ] ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀[ There's a faint flush on Hachi's cheeks, lingering from Tsukudani's prior words. ] ⠀...mhm... ⠀...I'm... 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴. ⠀⠀[ They speak as if testing how the words feel on their tongue... ⠀⠀⠀...why do they like it so much? Just... being called Tsukudani's... and calling themselves Tsukudani's. ] ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀[ Oh! Being called theirs makes their hearts skip a beat... ⠀⠀⠀...they shake themselves back into the present reality after a couple of seconds. ] ⠀...right! I won't call myself a bitch. My apologies. ⠀

⠀ ⠀Oh! I know what this means. I'm the bitches. ^^ ⠀

⠀ ⠀WE WON'T! I will personally ensure it. ⠀

⠀ ⠀then we would not get to be together anymore. :( ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀[ WOW, that came quick. Right on Hachi's neck, just like a vampire squid... it stings, but... the Octoling doesn't really mind at all. ⠀⠀⠀They faintly feel their blood flowing from the wound on their neck. The pain causes them to squirm a little, which ends up driving Tsukudani's teeth... -> ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀[ They promptly return. ] ⠀

⠀ ⠀It is spooky season. Over the years, I have learned that in times like this, tales abound of vampire squids who come to bite you and drink your blood... ⠀...all I am saying is. ⠀Can Tsukudani please make like a vampire squid and— ⠀⠀[ They're promptly dragged off-stage. Poor Hachi. ] ⠀

Picked this up for gramps while I was out today

⠀ ⠀...I'm lost. ⠀

⠀ ⠀...huh? ⠀

⠀ ⠀Yes. ⠀

⠀ ⠀...I know... ⠀

⠀ ⠀It did... I'm glad that you've been well, though. ⠀⠀[ They respond in kind, holding Tsukudani closer. Hachi's hearts aren't beating as intensely... but their paces are rather quick. They quite enjoy being close to them. ] ⠀I really missed you, Tsukudani... ⠀

please stay by my side and keep on smiling like that.

⠀ ⠀...well, Tsukudani isn't an idiot, so that means... ah. ⠀

⠀ ⠀Don't worry! I'm fine. ⠀

⠀ ⠀Hi, Tsukudani! ⠀⠀[ Lying beneath Tsukudani on the ground after the tackle-hug, they wrap their own arms around them. Their warm smile persists through the very mild and quickly-fading pain of the fall. ] ⠀I'm doing well. Are you? ⠀

they’re like if lil judd was an octopus

⠀ ⠀this is one of the highest honors I could possibly receive ⠀

⠀ ⠀Tsukudani...! ⠀⠀[ They've a smile on their face as they fail to do so and are promptly brought to the ground by the Inkling's tackle-hug. ] ⠀

⠀ ⠀Tsu... ⠀

⠀ ⠀I remember the twenty-first night of September quite well! As if it were yesterday... ⠀...wait, ⠀

⠀ ⠀I... Tsukudani, what does that even entail? ⠀
