Might be a strange request but have you done a Verl stimboard yet? He appears in the sewer level in trap team. I love that germaphobe so much... (as a germaphobe myself, I approve of him)

Hashtag I love npcs that only appear once and never again

Bracken and Verl Meeting

Hi everyone! Sadly, I cannot write as well as Bandon Mull, so it will be in my own writing style. If anyone has any ideas on what I should do next, please say so! I love listening to them. This one is a credit to @candlemouse!

Kendra was reading on the porch while Bracken collected sandwiches from Grandma and Vanessa, who had decided that a picnic was non-negotiable. As the tall unicorn came out, struggling to carry a basket filled with food and a stereotypical blanket, she laughed at how flustered he looked.

“I had to listen to the two of them talking about us the entire time!” he complained. “Apparently they forgot unicorns can hear better than humans.”

“But you’re in a human form. Wouldn’t you be the same as one of us?”

“No. I merely appear like a person. It doesn’t mean I am one.”

“Oh. But how does that work then?”

“Powerful magic and illusions, mostly.” 

The conversation carried them all the way to outside the Naiad’s lake, and Kendra was relieved to see that Bracken seemed to have forgotten his earlier embarrassment. As the two walked through the entrance, they were greeted by Satyrs running around wildly, shouting as they played a game of tackle tag.

“Kendra!” a voice called. She groaned, frantically trying to tell Bracken to turn around and go back to the house, while he looked down at her, confused.

“But we just got here?” 

“Yes, I know, but we should leave now!” she finished speaking just as Verl arrived, and, ignoring Bracken completely, he proceeded to bend down and kiss Kendra’s hand, not noticing how quickly she wiped it on her jeans, or how awkward Bracken looked.

“Ah, my beautiful fair maiden! How glorious it is to see you again! I am afraid that I did not know you were coming today, or I would have brought you another token of my love to you!” By the time the Satyr have finished speaking, Bracken was looking incredibly uncomfortable, and Kendra was trying hard not to die of embarrassment.

“Umm... yeah. Great. Nice to see you too, Verl. Er, we were just... leaving now... so, if you could please excuse us?” 

“Oh, but why would you go now? You just got here! Come, I am certain that the others would allow me to leave the game to spend time with a maiden as lovely as you.” Bracken was looking more and more awkward with each word, and as he shifted slightly, Verl seemed to notice him for the first time.

“Oh. Yes. Hello. My name is Verl. Who are you?” The tone of voice dropped by about ten degrees. Bracken, face scarlet with embarrassment, looked about ready to die.

“I’m Bracken. Kendra and I were going on a picnic together.” He seemed to regret the words almost immediately.

“I see.” Another twenty degrees dropped from Verl’s tone.

“Er, yes, come on now Bracken! Um... I think Grandpa wanted us to check on Nero!” Kendra was almost as red as Bracken.

“Yes! Nero! Bye Verl. Nice seeing you?” The two of them rushed away from the pond, leaving before Verl had time to figure out what had happened.

“Sorry about that. Verl doesn’t seem to get the hint that I don’t like him back at all. He even carved me a statue!” Kendra groaned.

“Don’t worry. Before I got captured, this Hamadryad was practically handing off my arm. I was about ready to cut her tree down.” Kendra laughed, and as they walked, the embarrassment seemed to slowly fade away.

Eventually, they ate their sandwiched on top of Nero’s cliff, laughing together, Verl completely forgotten.

6 Days Til Cottage Cheese

Day 10:

Theme: Unrequited Love(?)

Description: Verl. That’s All You Need To Know.

Details: Set whenever. Like, imagine that they waited for 5 more days after Christmas before leaving for Wyrmroost(In book 4) and this happened in those days. ALSO you can’t tell me that Warren didn’t grow up around Fablehaven and was like Seth and liked to explore and met and befriended the satyrs and that’s how he knows Verl.

---

Warren walked outside to a peculiar sight. On the edge of the forest stood a satyr, holding some kind of instrument. He jogged over, and immediately recognized him as Verl.

“What are you doing?” He asked, snorting and gesturing towards the instrument.

Verl twitched. “Just waiting for someone.”

Warren frowned at the vague answer. “What are you going to do with that, serenade someone?” He joked.

Verl twisted his hands.

Warren’s jaw dropped. “You can’t be serious.”

Verl said nothing, just stared stoically ahead. After a minute of silence, he muttered, “Ah, here she comes.” Warren looked in the direction Verl was staring at. He blinked. Seth was dragging Kendra out of the house by her elbow.

“I promise you this is worth it.”

“C’mon, Seth, please don’t get us into any trouble.”

“I’m not, I’m not. Chill.”

Warren could hear their arguing voices, even from a distance. A hand on his shoulder startled him out of his disbelief.

“Is something wrong?” Tanu was standing behind him, looking concerned.

Warren slowly started grinning. Somehow this made Tanu even more concerned.

“No, no,” Warren said, “Nothing’s wrong. Verl here was just about to serenade someone.” Warren looked meaningfully towards where Kendra and Seth were bickering.

Tanu was about to say something, then fell silent. He finally replied. “Oh my god,” He said quietly. “I have to see this.”

Verl looked proud of himself. “I will permit you to hear the melody I wrote, though I’m afraid it shall be wilted in comparison to the ever-blooming beauty that is my love.” He sighed.

Tanu had to turn away to conceal his laughter. Warren just laughed outright.

“Charmed, I am simply charmed to rest my gaze upon your beauty once more.”

The siblings had arrived. Verl bowed to an uncomfortable looking Kendra. She elbowed Seth, who was giggling uncontrollably.

“It’s nice to see you again too, Verl,” Kendra said through her teeth.

“Unfortunately, I do not have a statue to gift to you-”

‘A statue?’ Warren mouthed, doubling over in silent laughter.

“-but I have written you a divine melody that captures the spirit of your heart,” Verl took a deep breath and pulled out a bow. He started playing a tune- it was nice. Seth, Warren, and Tanu still found it hilarious.

As soon as Verl was gone, Kendra turned a withering stare at all of them. They either took no notice or paid no heed. She sighed, exasperated.

“You guys are the worst,” She moaned, trudged back off to the house.

After they had all calmed down, Tanu looked at Seth curiously.

“What’s this about a statue?”

Seth’s eyes twinkled mischievously. “Why don’t you come with me for a minute?”
