I do love a suck up.

It's not like the most intense flavor but! I can make up for that with some jazzy condiments!

Re: day 225

[audacity]

It's not sucking up if I'm right.

What're you thinking?

Re: day 225

[rugpull]

I can probably premake a lotta sauces and condiments t'reduce workload. I want some real spicy stuff. Spice lovers are pretty easy t'please.

[ ruffles his hair without letting go ]

So what? I already know everything about you that's important to know.

I know how strong you are. I know how much you care. I know how loyal you are to your people. I know about your taste in crushes, which is terrible by the way, and how you're protective and how you work so hard at what matters to you and how much you try your best. I know your favorite food. I know some of the stuff you've stolen. I know you deserve way more than you get. I know how far you're willing to go for me. I know how much I love you.

Who cares about a name?

Re: day 225

[man

MAN

tears start running. he's been in a state for awhile. emotionally fragile you might say! and this was the thing to nudge him into just breaking the fuck down. good job, little brother. all it took was too much love to get this hyena sobbing]
