Heaaaaave... ho!

[bringing her up!]

[zeitnot]

Put her here. [ ready to receive duck...! ]

[worlds]

[he's not quite sure why you'd put a duck in a scarf but]

All right-y.

[placing duck in scarf...!]

[zeitnot]

[ surprisingly, he doesn't follow-up with a smart-alec remark. even though something like 'oh, she'd make perfect emergency rations' is right on the tip of his tongue.

instead, he quietly tries to wipe a bit of the oily sewage off of the duckling. he does this carefully, like he's used to handling things gently and with great apparent concern.

[worlds]

... I knew you cared!

[zeitnot]

Congrats, you've witnessed me giving a fuck.

Did you want a medal or something?

[worlds]

No, the memory of you tending to the duck is good enough of a reward for me.

[it's hard to tell whether he's being sarcastic or sincerely means it.]

[zeitnot]

Ahhh, it's embarrassing, how big of a deal you're making out of this! [ he... flatly does not sound embarrassed at all fyi ]

I don't remember ever saying that I didn't care. [ as he lifts a fluffy duckling, all cleaned up, and places it on his shoulder. quack quack. ]

[worlds]

I know. It's just nice to have confirmation!

[zeitnot]

Ah.

Trust issues.

[worlds]

[blink]

Come again?

[zeitnot]

Ye of little faith in innate human goodness, could I trouble you to rescue seven more ducklings from the sewer?

Like, they're still waiting.

[worlds]

[a salute]

Aye aye, guardian of ducklings. I'll do my best.

[zeitnot]

If you successfully complete this task, I shall dub you guardian of ducklings #2.

[worlds]

I'll do my best to live up to that honour!

[aaaaaaaaand reaching back down into gutter]

[zeitnot]

[ as he lounges around up here with a fluffy duckling on his shoulder ]

Want me to make small-talk while you go be all heroic? Or are you good with just a meaningful silence.
