retellers | AUDIENCE: SHIRO

[JanFranZia plz, don't make the NPCs betray us, I will cry]

Just like you're the type to stand there stoically and act annoyed when you like having the company, yeah?

That's just a long-winded way of calling me a tsundere, isn't it.

...

Would you believe me if I said I actually wasn't trying to call you a tsundere there?

No.

Maybe I should tell you about all the other kinds of 'something-dere' and see if there's one you feel fits you better.

No, absolutely not.

[I'm so sorry Wolf, but he's snickering now.]

It's not bad, I promise!

One dere is bad enough.

But you haven't even heard about the worst ones yet. Like Yandere.

[ there's a hand lifted to their mask ]

Please stop saying words.

[He wants to laugh so badly at that reaction, but he'll keep it in.]

Okay, okay. Since you asked so nicely.

Great. Thanks. Let's move on.

Aye aye, captain~

[But yes, willow trees are easy to find at least. Harvesting some bark is going to be harder though, for one reason:]

You got a knife?

[ they shake their head ]

Can't lend you one, either. But if all you need is a chunk, I can probably rip it off.

With what, your big wolf paws?

[He's teasing, but go ahead Wolf.]

That's an option.

[ they. don't explain that, but also, there's probably something a little eerie about the ease in which they grab a chunk of the bark and kind of... casually rip it off the tree. what. ]

Here.

[WELL THAT SURE HAPPENED.

Shiro is. Glancing down at that hand. Is it actually claws or does Wolf still look human?

After a moment he takes the bark tho.]

[ They look human! the look shiro is giving them does make them huff out a small laugh ]

Something wrong?

Not wrong, exactly. I've just never seen someone rip bark off a tree like that before.

[He sounds impressed, though. Shiro has been won over by 2stronk.]

Let's just say I'm stronger than the average human. [ shrugs ] Don't know why, though.

If we were in my world, I would assume you have some demon lineage in you. But that might not be true here.

Pretty sure it isn't.

Even if it were, it's no big deal. You're still you regardless.

[Time to go to the kitchen, get the last few ingredients, and make hangover tea!]

Whoever that is.

You're Wolf, the- [Don't say tsundere] -grumpy leader who still helps others, even when it's silly item-fetching like this. You're the one who does the hard jobs here, so the other Leaders don't have to do it. A neutral face hiding a caring heart.

That's who you are.
