And imagine one day tary brings grog home to meet the family and it goes about as well as everyone can expect. But this time instead of sitting there and taking the abuse from his father, tary stands up for himself, and when his dad is like "tary!" And tary calmly tells him "only my family gets to call me that." And walks off with a smirking grog in tow. And before grog leaves the room he turns around and flips them the bird. Then they go and get in a tavern brawl LOL
Sorry for the late response, I literally just got home from a hellish shift at work.
I’m just imagining Tary’s dad trying to talk to Grog and dying of laughter. “So Grog, what is it that you do?” “Oh, I’m the Grand Poobah de Doink of All of This and That. Also I kill things. With my axe.” Like trying to be all lordly and shit but then spoiling it by farting and making a bunch of social gaffs. Tary is in turns horrified and proud because Grog truly does not care what Tary’s father thinks of him. Like, if Tary’s dad wasn’t fucking awful maybe he’d try, but because Tary’s dad is quite possibly even worse than Vex’s dad...well let’s just say multiple times throughout the trip Grog offers to Taryon to “just axe your dad’s face in a little bit, just a smidge.”
Oh god I just had a horrible idea. Imagine Taryon meeting Zanroar and the remainder of the herd. Like, not so much a “bring him home to meet the family” but “chance encounter and oh god these people are related to you?”
Lol, I have so many more ideas for these two now.
