DANSE MACABRE

ind. Grimm follows from devilswinging

[grimmflame]

" Troupe master?" The young bug knight came in with a loaf of banana bread. " You mated now so does that mean your mate is the mother of the troupe?"

Grimm practically chokes on a flame, having to spit it out and shake his head. “No! No that does not make him mother of the troupe! It would make him father of the troupe if he wished to be it, just like I am the father of the troupe! There is no reason to go calling a man by a matronly title unless he himself wishes to be called such!”

The moth catches himself. “I apologize for the outburst, but… still. I wouldn’t truly know if it would make him father of the troupe. It isn’t something I’ve discussed with him.”

Perhaps the moth was supposed to be teaching Bendy, not “dancing” with Henry. But it wasn’t like the demon minded, stepping aside to allow the Nightmare King plenty of room to twirl and dance with the animator in his arms.

“Perhaps~” Grimm coos, looking at Henry. “But it is so much more fun with a partner, no?”

[inkyencounters]

In a puff of reddish smoke, the vampire moth teleports right up next to Henry, giving a cocky grin before kissing the animator on the cheek. There's hardly a second after Grimm pulls away before he's up and teleported away again. (grimmflame)

Henry was in the middle of working, focusing real hard before he got sniped. And with a squawk he turned to see red smoke. What just… happened…

Oh!

“Aw… he’s so sweet…”

What was he working on again? It doesn’t matter. He needed to doodle Grimm before he got back to work, the love sick fool.

[grimmflame]

He blinked making even more excited bug noises holding up a sign. " Love is love no matter what! If he makes you happy then that makes me happy too!

“He makes me very, very happy. Happier than I have ever been, even performing for my troupe.”

[grimmflame]

The little knight just lets out happy bug noises at the troupe master's happiness holding up a sign. " Will we get to meet her too?"

“Him,” Grimm corrects gently. “My mate is male. And in due time, my friend. In due time, you will get to meet him.”

[grimmflame]

Small knight peeks into the tent at all the excitement then gives a thumbs up. He is proud of the troupe master for finding a mate!

Grimm just picks up Ghost and makes them join the excitement. They have no choice. They’re stuck with the chittering, bouncing, twirling moth now.

[grimmflame]

“I have a mate! I have a mate, I have a mate, I have a mate!!!!!!”

Very excited moth noises.

[grimmflame]

[inkcarnatedroses] "Excuse me, Mister Grimm...?" Cue little Hope peeking into the room. "Can I ask you something?"

@inkcarnatedroses

Grimm blinks, looking at Hope and nodding. “… of course, Espérer. What is it?”

[grimmflame]

inkcarnatedroses‌:

“It’s called April Fools’ Day, Mister Grimm! It’s a day meant to be a day where everyone can have fun messing with each other and doing silly things!”

“Wanna see what I made for it?”

Oh! Oh, she seems excited for this. With what is obviously a smile on his face, Grimm looks to her.

“Yes, I would love to see what you made for it, Espérer~”

[grimmflame]

inkyencounters‌:

“Yes, April Fool’s Day!”

Henry clapped his hands together, a grin on his face. “The first day of April is all about pranks and jests. It’s just a fun day!”

“…Granted that it’s safe and doesn’t actually hurt people.” His tone became disturbingly serious, face deadpan.

“... I see...” A chuckle. “You humans truly are oddly fascinating creatures.”

[grimmflame]

“A day of pranks...? What sort of odd holiday is this...?”

[grimmflame]

For once, Henry wasn’t sucked into his work, so the studio’s strange, but welcome nonetheless, visitor didn’t startle him.

The fact he was aware pleased and stressed Henry at the same time. He was currently sitting in the break room, preparing another batch of coffee for Stuart. So when Grimm walked in, he was able to look at him immediately.

“I .. don’t want to trouble you, Grimm.” He said, giving a sigh. “But.. yes, I suppose something did happen. I seem to have… Lost my ability to draw, for the time being.”

The troupemaster tilted his head curiously. “How does... one simply lose their ability to draw? Ah, don’t answer that. I can tell already; magic is at work here.”

He rubs his chin in idle thought. “... I could make an attempt to reverse it, if you would like. It will require time, however; if I am correct, magic in this world functions very differently than in Hallownest.” Grimm offers what is plainly a smile. “I will do this for you, if it will please you.”

[grimmflame]

@inkyencounters​ (Henry)

“Artiste chéri, why the long face?” Grimm don’t just sneak up on people. At least Henry didn’t seem to be busy drawing, which... worried Grimm, honestly. It was rare for the moth to find Henry without a pencil in his hand.

“Did something happen?”

[grimmflame]

( i have a Hollow Knight rp blog, but out of respect for my friend who doesn’t want spoilers i will not be active on them until they are done with the game!

that being said. if you want the url please MESSAGE ME. )

[devilswinging]

for the whole group of muses.) The little bug knight holds up a sign " Have you ever thought of mateship before? (Aka getting married in human terms)

( answering solely on this blog, but i will reblog to my other blogs!! )

“A course! One a my partners an’ I are already married!”

“Heavens, no! A man like me, getting married? I legally cannot, as nice of a thought as it is to be another man’s husband…”

“Nah, gettin’ married means tyin’ myself down. An’ that ain’t somethin’ I’m into, unless it’s in tha bedroom~”

“I have considered mateship before, yes… But with how much the troupe travels, I would have to find a mate willing to travel with us. I cannot leave my family.”

[grimmflame]

The knight just nodded giving him a wave and on his way out put up a Do not disturb sign so the troupe master could get his much-needed rest!

[grimmflame]

The young knight was worried setting down the gifts he held up a sign. " Are you alright? Do you need me to get you anything?"

“Yes, I am all right. I am only a little weary. It will pass. Thank you for your concern, my friend.”
