They are?! But I ain't got a kid!

"Yer Skyla." That solved nothing. Just tossing the bug into the air, hand wrapped around a blue-green wire it deployed. "Wanna see what it can do?"

000

Nope. Jus' me an' my wirebug.

100

"That's not-! It's a wirebug. Used ta have a dog but..it was the guilds."

000

"Is it??" Ah. right. Pulling out his 'pet'. A big green bug, with bright blue wings the size of his palm. "Right. Meet my pet."

000

Hm..good ta know...was told i 'have the body of one'?

000

"I do?? All I do is hunt monsters and..as of lately, re-train with my pet."

000

??? I..guess?? Yer all weird.

100

" E..eh?? I ain't a dad."

000

Why's everyone talkin' about..'dilfs'??

[Gripping her forearm, seems he shakes hands differently.] Likewise..but if th' guild asks, ya never saw me. Ex for a reason.

Guess so. Take it I ain't the first Hunter ya met though, am I? Th' guild has them everywhere..or..Ex-Hunter i guess now. [tapping his eyepatch, mainly the symbol on it.] Or are ya just familiar with th' guilds symbol? Zenor. Nice ta meet ya.

Unless ya mean wearing the remains of a dead monster in armor, no. Nothin' like that.

000

A..huh? Ain't ever heard of that before.

Ha. Least yer honest about it as well, thats always nice ta hear

"Welcome to *my* world.."

@seasaltnawax.bsky.social I ain't ever expected ta date someone like ya. But we are..and i don't regret it. I love ya. Alot. I'll always be there for ya, Guts. An' always let ya be who you wanna be.

@flyingblade.bsky.social When we first met, i thought we'd end up fighting. But one look an' i found someone who held the same beliefs i did..in some way. Yer eyes and yer spirit. Love that th' most about ya, Tiny Warrior

@nerdymoth.bsky.social never thought I'd be dating someone like ya, after our first talking. Still, we are. Yer smile makes me happy, an' i like how soft spoken ya can be, Lumu.

110

Don't worry about it. 'm just glad ta have ya by my side

100

I..see we got different nurse outfits, heh. Long as yer fine with it then. Just dont expect me to be sick anytime soon, i tend ta stay healthy.

100

Well while th' thoughts of ya in a nurse outfits nice, yer better off not..aiding me. When i get sick, it's..rough. Lotta throw up. Nothin' helps, gotta wait it out. Bedridden for days.

100

Don't I know it. [Slowly wrapping an arm around bones] Sorry. Fer earlier. I jus' want ta ya not be..ill. Gog forbid ya see me ever feel sick, it ain't fun.

100

See? bitter. Feel any better?

100

Not a good one, no. My advice? Don't breath through yer nose while drinking it. ..Kidding. It's uh..bitter.

100

..t..tch- [Oh now HE'S blushing]

000

Yeah, tastes just as bad. Do what ya gotta ta survive though. Hells- [Sitting next to him.] Half the things i take taste bad. But it's needed.
