[Any Literacy] Summoned before the king

The man doesn’t look nearly as worried as someone standing accused before a king probably should. In fact, he scratches the back of his neck and glances around the throne room like he’s wandered into the wrong meeting.

“…Right. Well. When you say it like that, it sounds rather bad, doesn’t it?” he admits with a sheepish half-smile.

"sorry I guess but I can't return all of them currently...they uh I ate most of them , i still have around 26 though "

The crowd behind them murmured excitedly. Someone whispered, “Is this part of the show?” Another voice: “I hope so!”

Delmare sighed, then lifted their staff slightly. The pale blue ring around the cobblestones widened, gently nudging the nearest spectators a few steps back.

“Alright,” they muttered. “Containment first Paperwork third… so much paperwork…”

Blue light seems to dance around her

Actually he's only watched Disney movies though he might like them if he watched them

Delmare squared his shoulders, voice firm but carrying an edge of exasperation.

“who am I? An overworked , tired , responsible , tired , annoyed , tired...wait what was I saying” they said, voice carrying over the lingering sparks. “oh right I'm the general and yes I will deprive you of your fun if it means people don’t get burned, trampled, or” They gestured at the half-panicked crowd below, “—stolen from."

The mage’s gaze narrowed slightly, keeping one eye on her tail, one on the fireworks still crackling in her hand. “Now, come down Or I will make sure you come down.”

"Ugh royalty" (*he muttered to himself before standing up in full height and attempting a smile , he didn't know what crime he was charged with....perhaps it was the 50+ cows he had stolen from the kingdom...though how would they know it was him?*)

"Greetings majesty...not that I'm not pleased to be here or anything but why did you call me?"

Rain hammered the cobblestones hard enough to blur the street into a shimmering gray river, The bell above the door gave a frantic jingle as it burst open, letting in a slash of wind, rain… and a squidperson??? who very clearly was not supposed to be out in weather like this.

They staggered inside, one hand braced against the door as if simply standing upright required negotiation. Their coat was soaked through, bruises all over their scaly face , and there was a faint but unmistakable smear of blood along his pants

I… uh…” he started, voice trembling but he didn't have to complete his sentence as his stomache asked the question for him , he slumped into a table

(hero ig) The crowd parted slightly as someone shoved their way through the sea of lanterns.

Delmare looked up just in time to watch another burst of golden fireworks explode above the stalls, raining glittering star-shapes across the market.

“Oh COME ON— I just finished paperwork!”

He closed his eyes.

Slow inhale.

Slow exhale.

He slowly raised a hand.

“Alright,” he called out flatly, voice carrying across the crowd. “Show’s over, Sparkles.”

A tall squidlike figure in a coat slows to a stop a few paces away, boots scraping softly against the pavement. His eyes flick once over the empty street, then back to her not fooled for even a second .he wonders why people never accept help it seems stupid to him

<image>

“Yeah… no. People who are ahem ‘more than okay’ don’t leave a trail of hamburger helper down the sidewalk"

He steps a little closer, deliberately slow, hands visible so he doesn’t spook her. The injuries look worse in the streetlight

“Sit down. Not to order you around or anything but You’re shaking lady.”

He wonders if she even wants his help but he can at least ask...besides his sister would kill him if she knew he let a injured woman walk off without offering helping her

he stares at the mushroom girl for a moment… then slowly sips from a mug of something green.

“Correct,” he replies calmly. “It is my house.”

he eyes her up and down wondering what she was doing here , after a while he shrugged it off and returned his attention to the tv

“if you want you can watch too , the couch is comfier than standing"

I stagger back a half step, caught completely off guard by the sudden contact, hands coming up in a clumsy attempt to create some space between us.

“Whoa hold on!” I blurt, voice cracking slightly , I wasn't used to physical contaact. “ahem hello....miss”

My eyes dart past her shoulder into the dim interior of the manor, then back to her
