have yyou ever considered investing in googly eyes?

"... No." Straightforward answer, at least. (Investing in what way? He didn't care to know. There was no way those objects could be useful to his justice.)

"I gotcha, kid."

@processingtheants liked for an AU starter ─── ⋆⋅☎︎⋅⋆ ─────────────────

What were they doing out here, after dark? Alone, no less? It was the first thought that ran through his mind when he saw the child - he wasn’t supposed to be out this late, let alone in this part of town. No one should ever leave any child alone, especially one this small. 

The reasoning why was proven only moments later. A man stumbled out of an alley, loud and clumsy, reaching for the kid with the same gracelessness he held his half-empty bottle. The intentions weren’t clear, whether the man was just drunkenly stumbling around or whether he had a thought in mind, but it hardly mattered. The Grabber was on him in an instant; he had plans to do, but this… he couldn't allow it. 

Not with one of his kids. 

The drunk man yelped only a few seconds later, scrambling off into the night after a firm shove sent him sprawling. By the time the kid was able to look, it would just be The Grabber; tall and strange, mask still on his face. 

He knew the kid too well to think that the mask would bother them. Arthur inhaled softly, tilting his head in that quiet, curious way; the same he did when trying to decide the reasoning behind which crayon they would have picked in the office. 

“You shouldn’t be out here,” he said at last, his voice low but not unkind. “… You should go home. Alright? Do you know how to get home?”

Khonshu nearly growls. "That is a puppet, you fool. It has no skeleton."

"Well yeah, it wouldn't after you took it."

"Shut up."

[templeofvengeance]

do yyou really peck people's head when yuo get mad at them (/□＼*)

-🪲

"I never peck people," Khonshu enunciated each syllable like every single one had offended him personally. "That behavior is beneath me. Who told you such a thing!?"

Jake, if he was willing to bet.

were tthe dinosaurs nice to you?

-🪲

"... That is a relative term." Especially for beings without the capacity for faith. Was it nice when wolves howled at the moon? Were all the nocturnal creatures that came out at night showing him worship and hoping for their safety? "They did not harm me, but they had no power to. Is that nice?"

[preemptivejustice]

Arthur sighs. "I'm five feet and eleven inches," he answers. "Or about one-hundred-eighty centimeters. We should work on your math skills, though - we'll start with counting. Can you count to ten, for me?"

He can probably find some tutoring papers, if he looks around - if he can assess how much they know, he can probably work it through. "Start at one, please."

─── ⋆⋅𓍝⋅⋆ ───────────────── "We'll call it a treat, tonight," Arthur answered, if only to keep the little bug from staying longer than necessary. He didn't actually have candies- but he dropped something into the little thing's bag. A stone, perhaps - or something similar in size, weight.
