Wade suddenly began furiously scribbling into a Mad Libs book he had seemingly produced out of nowhere, “Okayyyy– now I need a verb.”
M’Baku clicked his tongue as he gave him a judgmental look. Even if he did find some amusement in what he had to say he wasn’t about to show it.
“You reach your daily syllable count yet?”
M’Baku only responded with an annoyed grunt.
Wade let out a snort in amusement, “Listen here, Grimace– I’m just getting started.”
“No.”
wakandicnprincess:
“You have not seen nagging.” Shuri muttered under her breath. Nagging was Romanda trying to get Shuri into her dresses and traditional guard as a child. Nagging was the tutors who had tried to make her read when she wanted to add. “You say T’Challa so many times! Remind them of what is lost, why don’t you? I do like the part where you say you will always put Wakanda first. That is true. Less about my brother and more about you then. Try that.”
M’Baku let out a grunt to let her know he was listening and processing what she said. He figured after this past year she must have come to speak Jabari grunt. “I’ll just wing it.”
wakandicnprincess:
Shuri understood salvaging. She had done that to many experiments over the years and dissected what could be saved and what needed to go. It sounded calculating to do the same to a person but they were running out of time. At M’Baku’s next words Shuri could not help but roll her eyes. “Eh, hush. There is nothing wrong with words. This is why you will never get my humor. I am hilarious, M’Baku, but you are too brief.”
M’Baku only replied with a grunt. He’d show her brief. He just had to make sure that he didn’t smirk or show any amusement in doing so.
vclkyriors:
“The Sorcerer. I’ve heard of him. The one with the strange name or something. He sounds like he could have been useful.”
“Would have actually brought in a unique perspective. It isn’t as if we have many sorcerers.”
thewxsp:
“Tone it… Oh, okay. I’m still right though even if I speak with a monotone. You know, you have to have hope sometimes even if it all seems dark. Hope does not mean your heads are in the cloud,” her head might have been in the clouds slightly, “it means you’re not giving in to fear or anger or anything like that. You fit in very well in Russia. Has anyone ever told you that?”
M’Baku groaned slightly. “Everything in moderation.” Was all he grumbled to her speech.
blackxwidxw:
“I don’t think he’ll let himself be.”
“Things don’t usually break by their own volition.”
warmachiinerox:
“Thank you. I appreciate you saying that. If we’re honest, it was a surprise I wasn’t expecting.”
“Mm.” M’Baku grunted with a nod as a way of saying you’re welcome. “That’s what makes a surprise a surprise, but yes, I don’t think anyone saw it coming.”
“Well that’s a relief. Guess it was a good idea to leave clown school.”
“Are you done?”
wakandicnprincess:
“Tcht.” Shuri spat at her co-leader to shut him up. “It must sound perfect, M’Baku! All of Wakanda will be watching and we cannot grunt like apes even if you worship Hanuman. Let me hear your part. We will see if it is flawless, eh?”
“Ah, Stop nagging.” M’Baku groaned as he thought back to what he roughly wanted to say to the crowds. Despite as much as he hated the idea of rehearsing his words and not just speaking out of passion he knew she was right. He wasn’t just speaking to the Jabari, he was speaking to the entire nation. A nation that did not necessarily relate to all the ideals of the Jabari. “I am not T’Challa, I am not trying to be T’Challa, I will never be T’Challa but what I am is a man who will place Wakanda first, always.” He reverted to slouching and rolled his eyes. “Satisfied?”
“Point me in the direction of the puppy,” Steve’s gesture had obviously been miscommunicated. They had all lost. Whether M'baku liked it or not, they had lost. Strong willed and tough were just words at the end of the day and the fact was they were both pretty sour about it. Pride and Victory were among the top traits the two warriors shared, and now both of those were smeared in a way. “All I see is a soldier. One who saw his brothers die. Forgive me for asking.”
“Tch.”M’Baku replied to the mans words. It wasn’t the response M’Baku had been expecting. Most people backed off when M’Baku spoke, but he stuck to it and even empathized. It was impressive. “I suppose I am to thank you for your words.”
wakandicnprincess:
“Everyone has been broken by the Cleanse in one way or another. Tony Stark, well, they said he was a genius. Do you know something about genius that many overlook? It is fragile. Ego breaks easily. If he has been broken down - and we should assume he has been - then we learn what we can from him and move forward on our own. Still, the Avengers speak highly of Stark. Perhaps he will not be a dead end.”
M’Baku nodded as he listened to his partner go on. “Fine then. We will salvage what is left of him and run with it. In the meantime don’t use so many words. You could have said that with half the sentences. I don’t need to know every detail.” M’Baku was a curt man. He said what needed to be said. No more, no less - unless he had something funny to say - and he’d appreciate it if the same manner of speaking was used with him.
“Well, I’d call what I’m feeling more bittersweet than anything. I didn’t really know what to expect by coming back home but–” Tony shrugged, motioning with his hands before wringing them together again. “Yeah, it’s a bit different. A bit empty, a bit hollow. And no one threw me a Welcome Home party so that was a bit of a bummer.” The humor felt unnatural to him– like a muscle that hadn’t been used in far too long, and he grimaced at his own words.
“Mm.” M’baku grunted with a nod. “That is understandable.” He said in agreeance with his complex emotions. “If you had been thrown a surprise party would you really have been able to enjoy it?”
“True, that is better. Not much has changed since they returned, but it is still miraculous that they returned at all.”
“I didn’t think machine’s believed in miracles.”
“I don’t blame you for not trusting me. It’s smart of you to be wary of someone like me. But I assure you, I have no reason to cause you any harm right now.”
“Right now being the operative words.” M’Baku replied sounding entirely non-enthused.”
“you think you know eeeverything don’t ya?” rocket replied, his arms motioning dramatically. “well ya don’t! you don’t know me, alright!”
“It would be wise for you to stop putting words in my mouth.” He was resisting his urge to grunt and howl out the woodland creature.
