FEELS LIKE YOU NEGLECT YOURSELF SOME DAYS. ( a gentle pat on the knee. he moves, takes the other pant leg and wrings that out too. ) YOU COULD STAND TO BE A LITTLE MORE SELFISH.

HEY, HEY, HEY!! DON’T SAY THAT! YOU WERE TRYIN’ TO— HELP? ( seeing her laugh, he figures she’s okay enough, and starts to chuckle himself. ) ….. MAN!! WE’RE HOPELESS, HUH?

Well, I- ﹙ sheer befuddlement revealed itself in her eyes as they were cleared up, glasses missing but still looking his way. her own hands were absolutely waterlogged, unable to cover her mouth as a breathy embarrassed giggle started. ﹚ That was stupid of me- no, I'm sorry dear!

I NEVER SAID YOU WERE A LIAR!!! JUST, YOU KNOW! ( drops his sleeve. he takes one of tenna’s pant legs in his hands and bunches that up next, wringing it out. ) YOU DON’T WANNA WORRY PEOPLE! I KNOW ABOUT YOU.

I know a place where it's warm and it's dry, dear. Let me take you there. I am trying to say what I want to say, without having to say I Love You.

‍‍‍ ‍‍‍ a trash heap .@esteemedtrashheap.bsky.social · last yr.

YEAH? WOULD YOU? ( he doesn’t sound convinced, At All. )

we 'rein "waterf fall", it c can' e too s surprising.

OH, MAN— ( an exhale of relief as she resurfaces, reaching out to carefully brush her fur back out of her face. ) ARE YOU OKAY?? GEEZ, I’M REAL SORRY, I DIDN’T THINK YOU’D ACTUALLY …

﹙ almost six seconds passed by, a couple bubbles coming up- before a soggy, heavy blanket of fur manages to resurface in crawling up to the best of her ability, having fallen down into somewhat of a sink hole. fuzz covered her eyes as she looked absolutely 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘥. ﹚ Oh. Oh, I -

‍‍‍ ‍‍‍ a trash heap .@esteemedtrashheap.bsky.social · last yr.

DON’T MENTION IT, BUDDY. ( bonks his shoulder with his head. takes his other sleeve, and wrings that out too. ) YOU SEEM SOGGIER THAN USUAL!

* ( guh. poor sopping wet cat. ) th hanks, spam.m.

‍‍‍ ‍‍‍ a trash heap .@esteemedtrashheap.bsky.social · last yr.

Dear Cathode, LET ME GET THAT FOR YOU! ( taking one of his sleeves and wringing it out. soggy… )

* ( he moves over to spamton, eyeing him. )

‍‍‍ ‍‍‍ a trash heap .@esteemedtrashheap.bsky.social · last yr.

( beckoning him closer. )

* ( struggling to squeeze some of the water out of his damp suit with his one hand. )

—!!!!! OH, ᝰᏪຊ!!!! ( he holds the book over his head to keep it from getting any wetter, hustling over to where she went under and feeling around under the water for her. ) UHH , MS. TORIEL ??? ( please don’t drown. he can’t have that on his conscience. )

I insist! Hold on, you didn't have to do any of this, especially for a silly old lady's snail book. ﹙ trudging closer, her calves mostly submerged by this point, she tried to pace her way to help him out— only to slip and fall right onto her front, completely falling under the surface. ﹚

DON’T WORRY ABOUT ME— WORRY ABOUT YOUR BOOK!! IT SHOULD STILL BE OKAY! A COUPLE HOURS UNDER THE HAIRDRYER AND IT’LL BE GOOD AS NEW. ( his big, showboating grin falters— softens into something more genuine. he watches her laugh fondly. ) ……… A HERO, HUH? I DUNNO ABOUT THAT!!

﹙ what started as shock upon seeing him go under, worry he wasn't going to come back up from waterlog - .. ended in her snorting, her hands placing on her knees and relieved laughter erupting out. ﹚ You're a hero, you know that? Hehehee! Gosh, I am taking you back to dry you off —

A COLD? I’M PERPETUALLY DAMP ANYWAY, MY FRIEND! THIS IS NOTHING! ( he’s small, and nimble despite his age. he slips through her paws easily and takes a breath, dunking under the water. he comes back up, dripping wet but holding the package. )
