CONGRATULATIONS YOU ARE THROUGH TO RUDDIGER. PLEASE LEAVE FOOD AT THE END OF THE BEEP. MESSAGES CANNOT BE GUARANTEED DELIVERY IF FOOD IS NOT PROVIDED. [VIDEO | AUDIO | TEXT]
honestly? kind of he showed up at the house wanting to talk and i wasn't interested he apologized and said a bunch of stuff about not wanting to hurt either of us we're like family to him and i said i didn't believe him and that he's a liar so he let me stab him to make up for the stuff that happened in Deerington i thought he was lying again, but nope i stabbed him
[Anyone else would see this as an utterly batshit way to resolve a conflict. Varian sees this as an utterly batshit way to resolve a conflict. But Fern does not operate like he does- and neither does Maul. ]
That sounds pretty intense. I did tell him that he had to talk to you and show he was actually sorry for what he'd said and done. I wasn't expecting the stabbing.
Did it help you any? Stabbing him?
Also is he still alive? That's important, too. Obviously.
it was, i wasn't expecting him to offer that didn't expect him to actually let me stab him either thanks for telling him to talk to me, not sure he would've done that on his own
um i don't know i get that he isn't lying about the stuff he said so i think it did
oh yeah he's alive don't worry i didn't want to get in trouble for killing him
Maybe not. He seemed to be genuine in wanting to straighten things out, but he's like a petulant child sometimes. He has to be nudged in the right direction.
That's...good, then? Or getting close to being good?
I think the better answer here is "I don't want to kill him because that's not the best way to solve this problem" than that one.
I really hope so. Honestly, I pretty much called him out on being a coward for not doing it sooner and that seemed to have done the trick? He REALLY doesn't like people thinking he's afraid of anything, turns out.
He's had plenty of chances to do that, and he never has. The first time was due to Deerington messing him around. I can't really blame him for that, not after what happened in July. But I get it. I appreciate you worrying about me.
I know. But it's important to remember that it's not. As tempting as it is a lot of the time, and believe me, I know it's tempting.

maybe he'll see he shouldn't need you to do it down the road
yeah, getting close to it
i'm still scared he's going to hurt you
but i don't think he wants to do it
it still feel like killing people is the best way to solve a problem sometimes
a lot of the time

[Grass Demon is making note of that, though. That should be fine.]
i know it was the town but... still
it still hurts to think about
i don't want it to happen again
i know
it's really hard, sometimes
i'm glad you understand
no subject
[Grass Demon, no.]
I know. I don't particularly want to get horrifically murdered again, either.
Of course, I do. And even if I don't, I'll always try to.
no subject
hah, that's legit
we'll both just have to do what we can to make sure you don't die again
i love that about you
no subject
I'd very much prefer that, yes thank you.
Awww, thank you. I love you too.
