#toad: this brat throwing his money around.. Me: you know I can make shift for free right

[that-fictional-dad]

I had a lil daydream yesterday about Toad finding out I can do some magic.

I was thinking about fixing the front door. Because Toad and his kid are literally never in glamour. It's not great to have a broken front door to the building when you're never in glamour.

Toad's going on about how the door is fine and "What are you trying to do? gentrify the entire neighbourhood?"

I finally shut him up with a kind of guilt tripping "I don't care about the rest of the building, Toad. The drafty window you haven't fixed in 20 years is fine. The rug completely ripped off the stairs are fine. What's not fine is TJ running around in this building woth no lock on your door."

"Are you tellin me how to raise my kid?"

sigh "Judt let me work, Toad."

"You sound like the sheriff."

"The difference between me and the sheriff is that I actually give a shit about the people in this town and down hide in the Buisness Office."

Toad finds me irriatating but I'm the only tenant who doesn't fuck around and pays rent on time and TJ likes me. (I know money's tight for everyone but you can't tell me that The Woodsman has never just not paid rent for months because he can. He's like 6'5 lumberjack with a shirty attitude and Toad is ... a toad.)

Then TJ comes out and wants to help and he's like likely between 9-11 so I don't talk down to him and make him hold screws I legit have him help and explain how the bells are supposed to work.

I decided I was fix the mailbox while I was in the lobby and TJ was really excited to sort all the mail. Because the fable town courtiers are a mess and just throw all the ship for the building in one pile. [headcanon] and there's a flyer for the public pool and TJ is like "Wish I could go :/" [He lovvesss swimming he is frog bo]

and im like "Why can't you?"

Toad "yes I'm sure the Mundies would love to see a frog boy kids to the pool with their kids."

And I'm like "... Glamours exist"

Toad: "of course I forgot we had a rich guy here"

im like "... I would make him a glamour if he wanted to go to the public pool."

Toad "so first you come in here and fix things and then you tell me you can make glamour. I suppose your great aunt is the Queen of Sheba?"

And I'm like "I'm in glamour right now" I take off my glam and he's like "You're an ugly one ain't you?"

and TJ is like "You have big ears! Like the sheriff!"

Toad "Yeah. We don't see many wolves around here."

And then I defensively explain that there are 46 different types of canines and just because I have pointy ears doesn't mean I'm a wolf...
