"Oh. Okay. We're hugging about this. Okay."

Something had triggered Ree when the two of them were looking out at the ocean. It’s supposed to be a normal day, eating snacks and talking about stuff that’s happened, but —

There’s a shadow in the water, and Ree flinches. Their face goes to bury against Emmet’s chest, and shaking hands cling to his coat.

It takes a minute for Ree to realize what they’ve done, and even though they know they should pull away, their shoulders down instead hunch, grip tightening despite what their brain is trying to tell them.

“— sorry.”

It’s the first thing that comes out of their mouth. Ree knows better than anybody that Emmet doesn’t like being hugged without warning, and they would usually easily be able to understand and respect that, but —

Their (scarred, peeling) hands are shaking.

Ree buries their face against Emmet’s chest. They’re not crying, because they know Emmet can’t handle crying, but…

Their hands are shaking.

“I don’t —” they're interrupted by trying to keep their breath level and even, “I don’t know — what’s wrong wi, with me. It’s so — embarrassing. I’m… s-sorry, Grunkle Em. Gimmie a minute. Don — don’t get mad at me.”

Gentle Care

Taking care of them...

"Hey, it's okay. Show me?"

"What did they do to you?"

"Don't cry - I've got you."

"That's okay - get it all out."

"Deep breath, I have you."

"Sh, sh, I'm going to patch you up."

"I've got a bandage for you."

"This is going to sting, but we have to clean this."

"Oh - okay - we're hugging about this, okay."

"It'll all feel better in the morning."

"I can't believe someone would do this to you..."

"I'm going to protect you."

"Get some rest. I'm not going anywhere."

"You're safe now."

"I'm just going to wipe your face."

"When's the last time you cried like this?"

"There's nothing wrong with you, I promise."

"One day, you'll be okay. For now? It's okay to hurt."

"You want a hug?"

"I've got a blanket for you."

"Nice and cosy..."

"It's okay if you fall asleep."

"Just get some rest. You need it."

"Hey, I made you food."

"I know it's easy to forget to eat when you feel like this."

"You don't need to feel guilty."

"It wasn't your fault."

"Do you want a hot chocolate?"

"There's nothing better than a toasted marshmallow."

"Just hold onto me. There we go."

“So, uh…

I might have taken a sip of that glow stick slurpee.”

“They’re just for… having fun?”

come to think of it, ree’s never really thought of that stuff before.

“You use em when you’re at a party or whatever. They’re for having fun.”

“I mean…

You could eat ‘em, but they’d taste like shit. I don’ recommend it.”

HOOT2 - NORMAL

Built to serve as an alarm clock, its internal time is precise to the nanosecond. If its trainer does not wake up on its command, it becomes enraged, repeating noises it's heard before at maximum volume.

“I mean, I’d rather it be big an’ fancy than have a bunch of dumb tourists crawlin’ around ula’ula all the damn time.”

having so many tourists exploring their island was a pain in the ass. It caused way more trouble than it was worth. It’s better to have them on an island in the middle of nowhere so they don’t wreck anything.

wrecking things is team skulls job.

“hmm… well, if you really can’t figure it out…

How much will you pay for a hint?”

“I mean, all I do is bake. And I’d do that anyway. This way I can experiment with all the stuff I want and I can sell it. Win-win, yknow?”

He’s getting closer, but he’s not quite there. Ree barks out a laugh.

“Dude; we had that before you left. Satoshi was our first champ, ’member? It’s gotten a little bigger since then, though — they built a whole new stadium out in the middle of the ocean, so it’s not on th’mountain no more. It was kinda a big deal.”

Miss Chief seems to understand the game now. The aipom giggles, gently tapping Jackson’s shoulder with her tail, almost teasingly.

“Molayne is even one of the uh, elite four. Remember Molayne?”

@splicedskies

“They’re bio — biolumie — biologic — bioluminty—”

fuck.

“They're sticks that glow.”

🍙+ bassetts jelly babies

“……”

They look at the treats with a healthy dose of suspicion, glancing up at Rose to judge whenever these are poison or not. His expression doesn’t really give anything away, but —

ah, to hell with it.

Ree pops one of those suckers in their mouth, chewing with curiosity, before — their expression grows joyful, and they tuck another in their mouth, chewing rambunctiously.

“Oh! Fuck, I guess Galar has good sweets.” A pause: “… thanks, I guess.”

that’s the only thank you you’ll probably ever get from them, rose. Be grateful for it.

“Does a Bewear shit in the woods? Fuck yeah, you can help. Maybe we can add glitter to it too. Pretty glowing goo.”

“I kinda wanna dump a buncha glow sticks in the blender and see what happens.”

[skullkxd]

“Hey! Rude! I might be a no good punk but I’m not gonna be mean to Nanu. He’s already got enough bad things going on in his life.

I’m gonna go to the dump and scavenge one from there like a proper troublemaker.”

“Relaaaaaax, old man, I’m not gonna drink it. Besides —

I sligoogled it, and most glow sticks are actually non toxic nowadays cause kids do stupid stuff like try to chew on em, or break them and stuff.”
