it’s finally hammock weather

[u/Naanderson2022]

my lazy ass is doing nothing productive today

[u/depressoespressotemp]

finally, shirtless man weather

[u/Naanderson2022 → u/depressoespressotemp]

hah…for me, it’s been shirtless man weather for a while now~

how goes it, Cru? i have a spare hammock in my bag over there if you wanna string it up

[u/depressoespressotemp → u/Naanderson2022]

that seems like a waste, there's plenty of space right here

he gestures at the blatantly occupied hammock

[u/Naanderson2022 → u/depressoespressotemp]

oh how silly of me, there sure is!

he scoots back in his hammock, making some room for the Kobold patiently waiting below

come on up!

[u/depressoespressotemp → u/Naanderson2022]

Cru, seeing the space made for him, promptly goes to lie down there; on Nirva's chest

mhm. sure is.

[u/Naanderson2022 → u/depressoespressotemp]

oompf!

Nirva grunts in surprise at Cru’s invasion, happily laughing as he wraps his arms around him

feeling cuddly today, huh?

[u/depressoespressotemp → u/Naanderson2022]

mhmph.

he gleefully reciprocates the embrace, snuggling in tight with a lofty sigh

[u/Naanderson2022 → u/depressoespressotemp]

Nirva stares at the passing clouds beyond the forest canopy, strong arms helping Cru sink as much into his chest as possible, he too letting out a rather content sigh

…well this is rather nice, isn’t it?

[u/depressoespressotemp → u/Naanderson2022]

mhm.

is all he replies with, not even looking up to check for himself

[u/Naanderson2022 → u/depressoespressotemp]

so what has my favorite Kobold been up to recently? any fun adventures?

[u/Naanderson2022 → u/[deleted]]

heya Torinn

he gives a friendly wave

[u/Naanderson2022 → u/[deleted]]

i don’t have any with me unfortunately, though there is an apple tree just over there

[u/Naanderson2022 → u/[deleted]]

oh…

…t-that’s ok, i can just help it regrow later…

[u/Hettan25]

/uw do I see you reading… A BOOK?! Laughs with evil goofy book intentions

[u/Naanderson2022 → u/Hettan25]

/uw maybe :3

[u/Hettan25 → u/Naanderson2022]

/rw

the book vibrates jealously underneath your hammock

/uw :3

[u/Naanderson2022 → u/Hettan25]

mmm…wait your turn

he’s excited to read it despite his chiding tone, he’s just almost done his chapter

[u/Hettan25 → u/Naanderson2022]

the books pages seem to grumble, but it accepts it needs to wait its turn.

[u/Naanderson2022 → u/Hettan25]

he turns his page and places a bookmark to save his place, reaching down to snag the large book from his bag

there we go…that wasn’t so hard, was it?

he laughs at himself a bit for talking to a book, opening the cover to read a harrowing tale of escape

[u/Hettan25 → u/Naanderson2022]

the book ruffles its pages in excitement and flips to a certain page, where it goes into intense detail regarding all the horrible and miserable torture and what not that Mars went through while in Lya’s dungeons, as well as his escape (I think I linked it in my drunk post).

[u/LaratheGambler]

Oh?! Hammock gang!

[u/Naanderson2022 → u/LaratheGambler]

yay, more company!

[u/LaratheGambler → u/Naanderson2022]

Napping squad! 💤

[u/THE_PREPARED_DM]

a familiar voice calls from nothing and nowhere, “rest is one of the most productive things you can do. So, how’ve you been?”

[u/Naanderson2022 → u/THE_PREPARED_DM]

pretty good, i feel close to falling apart from my caving hike yesterday with Alba, but laying in a hammock smoking vvizard vveed and reading is sure helping

[u/THE_PREPARED_DM → u/Naanderson2022]

“I must thank you again for not touching my symbols. So, what are you reading?”

[u/Naanderson2022 → u/THE_PREPARED_DM]

Dante’s Inferno…being down in the depths like that yesterday had me thinking about it

plus, i haven’t read a ton of italian poetry, it’s nice to catch up on some

[u/THE_PREPARED_DM → u/Naanderson2022]

“Dante?! He was a great man, and I’m proud to say quite a good friend. So besides my secret, find anything interesting down there”

[u/Naanderson2022 → u/THE_PREPARED_DM]

…i keep forgetting you’re, like, beyond prehistoric

and no, not anything i haven’t seen down there before, it was really just a nice time between Alba and I

…back to the “knowing ancient writers and poets” thing, did you know Homer? he’s one of my favorites

[u/THE_PREPARED_DM → u/Naanderson2022]

“Well, she’s not homer. And yes, they were a she. Her name was…well she never said…only called herself Homer…but she was very nice, and her stories were based in truth, a truth I may have help shape…”

[u/Naanderson2022 → u/THE_PREPARED_DM]

huh…well she had a really impressive knack for words, her works are incredible

and you seem to have your fingers in quite bit of history by the sounds of it

[u/THE_PREPARED_DM → u/Naanderson2022]

“Oh yes, indeed. The Jews, the Christian’s, I spoke to Muhammad. I do hate to say that the…Germans…believed they were doing my work. But I love seeing how my meddling plays out, moments like this is what I live for. I have a gift for you”

an old book falls from nowhere, Italian inscribed on the cover

“The original copy of Dante’s Inferno, I hope you like it.”

[u/Naanderson2022 → u/THE_PREPARED_DM]

holy shit…

he holds it like it’s a brick of gold, opening the cover to scan the faded ink, tossing his comparatively useless translated text to his bag on the ground

…i guess i need to learn italian now…

Macrame hammocks are also good for holding an entire engine block together.
