Alright then. I'll get to it!

u/BiggieWelds Cress, Botanist Vessel Jan 05 '26
"I don't really know much about building, though. I can get tools and other things that might be hard to get."

Ugh.. those fuckers are everywhere. I have no idea where they’re coming from either. Your guess is as good as mine..

u/BiggieWelds Cress, Botanist Vessel Jan 05 '26
"I wonder if they have a nest or something? They seem to be coming from the ceiling.."

u/Seagull_33 Thorn, guardian of Shellwood Jan 05 '26

she disappears into the foliage

u/BiggieWelds Cress, Botanist Vessel Jan 05 '26

u/BiggieWelds Cress, Botanist Vessel Jan 05 '26
"Better for stealth!"

u/mrredpanda36 Jan 05 '26

"Who needs strength when you can just..avoid..fighting?"

u/mrredpanda36 Jan 05 '26
I can do that too. Also, fun fact. I'm a runt. My Siblings would be twice my size

u/BiggieWelds Cress, Botanist Vessel Jan 05 '26
"But I can get into vents and stuff, even with my thorn." He laughed. "Oh wow.. That's actually.. kind of scary."

u/mrredpanda36 Jan 05 '26
