Petti's Conversations

[askthegreatwhitesharkfishman]

"Ah... M-Merry Christmas, Jones. I wasn't sure what to get you, but I d-do hope you like this." Petti gently pulled out a pretty pink-toned knit cap ((he made it himself, albeit with a neighbor to help him figure out what he was doing haha)) with the familiar black embroidery. "I k-know you do like your h-hats though..."

He looked at the object in tge others hands and blushed an bit

,,Oh….t..thank you, petti. To be honest I have a little something for you too"

The sharkman said before giving the other an beautiful wrapped present

[the-tuskfish-talks]

He bowed his head in a flush, before raising it again to see Hody was holding something. "F-for me...? I... Oh m-my." He lightly turned it over in his hands to look at the packaging.

"D-Did you wrap it yourself, or d-did you need Zeo's help?", Petti asked him somewhat coyly.

Cold Truth (Closed Continuation)

[the-tuskfish-talks]

“Thing? This is j-just a ‘th-thing’?” He wearily got up to his feet, still shaking terribly. “I... I need s-some t-time to think, H-Hody. You can’t j-just...”

He took a few steps forward toward the other, but stumbled over his feet and his head hit the larger man’s chest; he simply stood there lost in thought, having trouble believing this could be the last time he feels this.

Cold Truth (Closed Continuation)

@askthegreatwhitesharkfishman

He looked back up at Hody with fear tinged in his already weeping eyes. “Wh-What? What is i-it?” Petti gently stepped back and did anything he could to read the other’s face.

All the things those people were saying, it couldn’t be true, right? It was all just acts of cruel prejudice to a Fishman, right? “H-Hody…?”

[askthegreatwhitesharkfishman]

,, My hate for the humans made me blind petti. I am sorry but what you heard about me is sadly true. I did all this things which I can’t explain today. I was crazy and I know it as much as I know that this means to say goodbye to you “

[the-tuskfish-talks]

He stared down the larger fishman for what felt like an eternity, his brain rushing to make sense of it.

“All of i-it…? It’s… t-true?” It was worth noting the humans also convinced him Hody couldn’t stand him, for not living up to what he should have been for the shark; so ‘all’ was a horrible pile of words and thoughts that made him crumple to his knees.

“It… y-y-you c-can’t… Queen O-Otohime… Th-This isn’t f-funny, Hody!!”

[askthegreatwhitesharkfishman]

,,Yes I know this is not funny but I am not joking. I killed her 10 years ago but I never tried to make you to something what you just not are. I really love you, petti"

[the-tuskfish-talks]

Petti just stared once more in teary silence as his body began to shake, until he caved and buried his face in his knees.

“H-Hoood-dy…. Th-This c-can’t…. you…” He looked back up, hoping for ANY sign of a joke, a dream to wake from, but the sharkman’s face held only regret. “H-Hate… wh-why would hate turn y-you on us? Why!?”

He could barely register ‘love’ in the shock.

[askthegreatwhitesharkfishman]

I was stupid and took drugs to power myself up. It just made me all blind. I believed that fishmans who gave an human our blood or helped an human in any way makes them as worthless as the human kind itself “

[the-tuskfish-talks]

He didn’t move outside of his trembling, not getting back up. ‘Drugs’. …The red things from before. They were all in on it and they never told him. Did they really think he was so naive and stupid…? He must have been to never realize, surely.

“Y-You… Y-You must h-have despised me for l-leaving for the h-human islands all those years ago. You c-could have k-killed me too… Why t-tell me you LOVE m-me if you w-were so sickened?!” He couldn’t look Hody in the eyes anymore, crying and shouting to the ground as if it could help him.

[askthegreatwhitesharkfishman]

,,Because I did back there and still do. It was always an different story with you! I didn’t cared about that you had other options than me"

[the-tuskfish-talks]

“I-Is that meant to c-comfort me?!”, he cried in disbelief before pausing and going quiet. “I… I w-wanted to b-believe in you, H-Hody. I w-wanted to love y-you. M-Maybe even… be so selfish a-as to spend the rest of my d-days with you. I don’t k-know anymore. I d-d-don’t know…”

[askthegreatwhitesharkfishman]

,,It’s ok and I can understand. I just told you what for an monster I am. All this people who said that you are to good for me were all right. I am not good enough for you, petti"

[the-tuskfish-talks]

“B-But… y-you were so good to m-me… You were the only one.” His heart ached back to rejection after rejection, broken heart after broken heart. What kind of joke was it that the only man who really returned his affections became a damned war criminal?

He couldn’t help but give a small pained laugh through his tears. Things were just looking up too much for this not to happen. “I’m s-sorry I ever wasted y-your time, if that’s what you felt b-back then.”

[askthegreatwhitesharkfishman]

,,You never waisted my time and I was never mad about you being near me. I enjoyed each second of it"

@the-tuskfish-talks

[the-tuskfish-talks]

((Sorry dear, I was busy!))

"I... I w-wish I c-could say the same with a-any confidence n-now..." He let out another small but anguished noise, wanting to just disappear.

"Y-Y-You can't t-take this b-back, Jones... Wh-What am I supposed to d-do? F-Forgive you and a-act like I don't k-know the truth?!"

(Petti leaves some fresh, homemade blackberry pie in Hody's windowsill and nervously scurries away before he's caught)

30 minutes later the great white shark noticed the sweet smell. He just looked confused at the pie but already knows who made it.

He went to petti’s room and knocked on the door.

[the-tuskfish-talks]

(He jumped somewhat at the knock, but hoped he wasn’t found out just yet) Y-Yes, may I h-help you?

[askthegreatwhitesharkfishman]

He smiled warmly down but decided to not yet tell him that the sharkman knows about the pie

,,I was just looking for you, nothing special. “

[the-tuskfish-talks]

(His shoulders let down in relief, but almost a bit of disappointment) O-Oh, well I h-haven’t really gone anywhere t-today. B-Busy working around here, you know?

[askthegreatwhitesharkfishman]

He nodded,, Shall I help you when you are busy?“

[the-tuskfish-talks]

Hmm, i-if you w-wish I wouldn’t terribly mind it. It’s m-mostly just finishing some c-carving work and making dinner, I mean… (He awkwardly rubbed at the back of his neck) I th-think I’ve got it.

[askthegreatwhitesharkfishman]

,,If you want than I can cook. “ he said in an peaceful voice

[the-tuskfish-talks]

W-Would you? [He was about to say yes but remembered there’s possibly still pie fixings left in the kitchen he forgot to clean, and instead stares at the wall for a second] I... ah, I th-think I can do that part, dear. It’s no r-real bother, honest.

Sid: Nice Teeth ~Byon

[ask-the-wonderland-pirates]

Sid tilted his head, “Why do ya sound so surprised ~byon?” He was a little slow but after a moment to think, “Oh right, not a lot of fishmen come above surface, I forgot that was how it worked.”

[the-tuskfish-talks]

((This is my roleplay blawg, moving here for convenience))

W-Well I’m not s-sure if that is how it ‘works’, p-per say, but m-most I see are pirates. S-So… yyyou’re a p-pirate, aren’t you?

(He’s not as unnerved as he would be with humans, but the lightbulb over his own head was a bit slow to light)

[ask-the-wonderland-pirates]

“Yeah, I’m a Wonderland Pirate,” he smiled, “I’m Sid, what about you ~byon?”

[the-tuskfish-talks]

W-Wonderland... H-How fanciful. Hm... --Oh! I am P-Petti! (He was a bit embarrassed that he completely forgot to give a name, and gave a brisk bow at the other) N-Nice to meet you!

*3 year old hody who is completly covered in blood*

(he didn’t expect any visitors at this hour, and especially not a sight like this; he nearly fell over dropping to his knees to better see the child) G-G-Good heavens, a-are you okay, child!? Th-These aren’t your injuries, are they?

[the-tuskfish-talks]

askthegreatwhitesharkfishman

,,I am 3" he looked up to the adult for the first time after that…accident. Than he unmoved his clothes in front of petti without warning.

3? A b-bit smaller than I th-thought, but understood. (he was a bit surprised at the sudden undressing, but nonetheless carefully scooped him up and set him in the bath; he stayed kneeled by the side to keep an eye on the small shark) D-Did I ever get your name, ch-child? Info is so hard to k-keep when I’m nervous, peh…

[askthegreatwhitesharkfishman]

He looked at him,, I am hody" he said before he continued to play with the bubbles

[the-tuskfish-talks]

Hody… Th-That’s a cute name, a-actually. (he desperately tried to distract himself from the grim reality of the situation, softly rubbing a wet cloth on the boy’s arms to get the blood off) I g-guess you might have to stay the night, if th-there’s no family I can contact to get you… Maybe the guards… Hm..

[askthegreatwhitesharkfishman]

,,I like your teeth. They pwetty" he said and smiled st the larger one

[the-tuskfish-talks]

A-Are they? Thank y-you. (he was surprised at how mellow Hody was despite what he must have just witnessed, but didn’t want to bring it up for fear of upsetting the little one)

You have p-pretty hair your own self, it’s so th-thick for someone your age. (he ran his hands through it at the comment, trying to get it clean as well)

[askthegreatwhitesharkfishman]

He let him do and just enjoyed the patting

[the-tuskfish-talks]

I th-think we’ve about got all the icky stuff off by now, y-yeah? I wouldn’t want you to j-just sit in dirty water… I think I might have s-something for you to put on while I s-scrub your clothes clean, too. (He tugged the plug in the tub and watched the reddened water drain)

[askthegreatwhitesharkfishman]

He watched the water aswell before looking up again and nodding

[the-tuskfish-talks]

((I got nothing to do today so I’m coming back to this thread if that’s okay))

(He lifted the boy out of the tub and set him on the floor, then wrapped him up in a large and rather fluffy towel) Y-You just hold o-on for a moment, okay? I’ll b-be right back.

[ask-fishman-petti]

Chef Canda - *trembling as he speaks* "E-Excuse me, I-I seem to be l-l-lost.. sir."

(He furrowed his brow, feeling some sense of empathy with the nervous young man but still very on edge) D-Does NO ONE in this t-town have a map!? No w-wonder Boss says you’re all a-awful, no sense of d-direction on top of it all… Wh-What do you expect me to do about it?

[ask-the-new-soul-pirates]

Canda bows fully at the waist, still seeming to tremble, “I-I’m sorry I’m u-useless; I’ll try not t-to get l-lost next time. If you c-could just h-hand me a map, sir, I’ll b-be out of your h-hair.”  Not once did he waver from his bow, looking directly at Petti’s feet, as if he’s done this many times before..

[the-tuskfish-talks]

(Petti put his knifed hand on his hip, looking down at the pink-haired fellow) I d-don’t have one, get l-lost. ...Y-You’re already lost th-though, huh. N-Nevermind!!

I’d take you to H-Hell but I couldn’t j-just stab you in the back, that’s a h-human tactic. [In reality, it just seemed like this guy had backup somewhere and he wasn’t ready to catch their ire]
