"Let's get level with this. You don't fuck with my girl. You don't fuck with my fam. Then we cool. You feel me, weird one?"

“Yes. Of course. You are felt… figuratively speaking, of course!”

@toughbug​ said: He's been up the mountain a lot lately, sometimes at Plumeria's side, sometimes by himself, sneaking the Charjabugs treats, having weird complex tension with Molayne, but mostly studying the enclosures for the insects and the ways they integrate their care into the running of the facility. "We gonna overhaul some of our shit this year."

There is part of him that does not--at all--trust Guzma.

He knows of the supposed-reformation, of the fact that this is someone his mother would trust with her life -- and yet, he cannot entirely forget the anger, threats, sending of underlings to do so in his place, and so on.

To say he isn't even slightly nervous would be a lie -- but he tries to keep it under control, lest the bugs and beasts residing within and nearby the observatory become nervous as well.

“Yeah?” he asks, glancing the man’s way for a moment before returning his attention to some of the Charjabugs wriggling about in the dirt. “I, um...”

“Your.. admin, Plumeria--” It feels so bizarre to call her that. “--has been very.. kind to us up here.”

He realizes Guzma most likely already knows of at least some of Plumeria’s feelings -- how she regards Sophocles, often treating him like a son -- but he refrains from directly mentioning them at the moment  in the event that he doesn’t.

“If--I-If, uh-- You all needed any help or somethin’, I could try to assist ya. Y’know--as payback or.. whatever.”

"You in my way."

“Tough luck asshole, I don’t feel like moving.“

I chopped off its head after using Dawn dish soap to trap it. It stung my grandmother’s hand so I didn’t let it live... my apology to the insect lovers but it was a crazy Yellow Jacket with mean streak around the house! #Sting #Insect #YellowJacket #KitchenTable #ToughBug
