[ The words of wisdom come from a man wearing black and sitting on the ground with his Grunty napping after eating Bear Cat Eggs. That's for the best, really, considering how the item kept repeating its name in 30 second intervals. Joonghyuk notices the vegetable in Cyno's hand that's definitely not edible for them, but the Grunties might like it. ]
But you came well prepared, that's commendable.
no subject
[ cyno is anything but well-prepared at any given time. it was his intention to gather useful or useful-adjacent items while in the fields, despite how much pain he might've been at the time. ]
Yours looks... really happy.
[ napping is happiness. ]
How much food did you give it?
no subject
[ His expression softens as he gazes at the sleeping grunty. ]
Just one food item so far. Then he fell asleep like this. I'm not sure if that always happens, though.
[ For a moment here, Joonghyuk's eyes shift from the grunty sleeping on the ground to the one standing close to Cyno. ]
Are you going to pick this one?
no subject
sounds like a good life to him. ]
Maybe. It's the only one that's been curious about this food...
[ the aforenamed 'root vegetable', which won't shut up. getting down to one knee, cyno holds it out towards the grunty which curiously noses it. ]
... never thought I could have a pet.
no subject
[ He winces at the vegetable. ]
I've never heard about pets that are quieter than their food. That's a weird twist.
no subject
[ truth be told, the number of players he's encountered would say otherwise--- only one has been a real issue, but even cyno thinks troublemakers can be eventually turned in the right direction. even if their intentions are the same, the methods can't be anything but legitimate. ]
Honestly, it makes me glad our food doesn't talk to us. [ a beat, then: ] It'd be like having commercials non-stop going on in the fridge and freezer...
[ the grunty is undeterred by talking food and immediately begins to chomp. big bites. nothing remains after a moment or two. it's kinda... gross... ]
Did you name yours yet?
no subject
[ This socially stunted man raises an eyebrow wondering if the conclusion he drew about what Cyno said about commercials was a joke or not. ]
Gru. [ You know, Gru the Grunty. Very original. ] I really like that name. If you need help with naming yours, I can give you a hand.
[ Don't do this to yourself, Cyno. ]
no subject
[ me reading 'gru' and thinking something cursed ]
... sure. I'd love to hear your suggestion.
[ he's doing this to himself. he's making the executive decision to put fate in another person's hands. ]
no subject
Runty.
[ He replies right away without hesitation. ]
Or Runty G if you like a more complicated name.
[ How's that complicated?? It is a mystery. ]
no subject
that's like. whoa. mind blown. ]
I accept.
[ yes. it's now his grunty's fate to be called 'runty G'. is it aware? probably not, it's too busy being sideways on the ground. ]
I think it's happy...
[ it's blowing bubbles with its nose ]
no subject
Oh. [ That was fairly fast. Maybe he's not as bad at thinking up names as people suggested? ] All right.
[ Ignorance is bliss and that grunty is a proof of that. ]
It does look happy, yeah. I wonder if they're going to add other mounts or pets...
[ His own grunty sends Joonghyuk a glare beceause HOW DARE. ]
no subject
yeah maybe he's just a super good namer, hello? maybe that's his super secret skill? it's kind of-almost marketable??? ]
... I think it understood what you just said.
[ wow. look at that death stare? where did joonghyuk's grunty learn that from? ]
Maybe you should apologize...
