[Oh. It's you.

He sighs, put-upon, and slips the knife back into his sleeve.]

Dull knives aren't the best for slitting throats with. [... PROBABLY JOKING.........]

[rootless]

I'll take your word for it. Knives have never been my thing.

[just takes it at face value]

[He slips further into the hut, body language relaxed despite the earlier potential shanking.

He deposits a freshly-killed fish into a basket in the corner.]

You must be dreadful at slitting throats.

[rootless]

Probably. I'm more of a headbasher.

[....probably joking........]

[tothedepths]

How uncivilized.

[He turns, arms crossed.]

Are you here to bash mine or my wife's heads in, or is this a less exciting social visit?

[rootless]

I've lived this long, and I'd like to keep it up, thanks.

[tothedepths]

Admirable enough life goals, I suppose, if not particularly ambitious.

Then? I was under the impression trees do not prefer salt water.

[rootless]

I'm not here for the sea, believe me. I just wanted to see how you two are doing.




...And the kelpie. I guess.

[tothedepths]

[.. I guess that's kind of... nice of you........]

—I have yet to succeed in murdering the kelpie.

[rootless]

Damn.

[tothedepths]

You could always assist me in the task.

[rootless]

Until salt water got involved, yeah.
