Inktober 10/5: Build Pt. 2
Kharon’s first wrong move that day was being a general nuisance and making crude jokes in orcish to Gryida. Kharon’s second wrong move was deciding to relax on the beach beneath an umbrella instead of swimming, which lead to him falling asleep. Now, it wasn’t difficult for him to fall asleep out in the open, he slept outdoors all the time, so naturally lying on a blanket over warm sands was more than coaxing enough for Kharon to doze off.
Gryida, who was always looking for an opportunity to make Kharon suffer, in ways that weren’t actually harmful but were just enough to be upsetting without really doing any damage. Today the most damage would be sand in uncomfortable places as she began to bury Kharon, and form a small city of sand castles on top of him. She had managed to get him completely covered by the time he finally started to wake up.
He was bleary at first, eyes blinking slowly awake, but then opened wide when he tried to lift his hand to brush some hair out of his face but couldn’t. He tried to look at his hand but all he could see was sand. He would have flinched, but he couldn’t move a muscle, so he shouted.
“What the fuck?! Who did this?!”
Gryida, more than pleased by this reaction, snickered and responded. “Maybe it was the sand guardian.”
Kharon recognized Gryida’s voice instantly, but the meme was too enticing not to respond properly. “The guardian of the sand?”
“Yeah, you know, Posideon quivers before him?”
“Fuck off!”
This was enough to make Gryida burst out laughing as Kharon scowled up at the bottom side of the umbrella.
“Was this completely necessary?”
“Absolutely!”
“Gods damnit. Can you let me out now?”
“Nope, but just so you know, high tide is about to come in, so good luck! Bye Kharon!” Gryida got to her feet, dusted herself off and leaned over Kharon so he could see her grin before leaving him to suffer.
“WAIT! GRYIDA! DAMNIT, COME BACK!!”

So, @moofrog had been stuck on what to do for build, and I suggested they draw Gryida building a sand castle, and then they decided that yeah, she would build a sand castle, on top of Kharon, resident rood boy. I was tempted to write a sister piece for my own “Build” inktober, but decided with something different. I still wanted to write it though!! So here!!!
Here is a link to Moo’s own inktober post, so you can see their take on it!
