It's reassuring actually that Daniel might actually be worse at making friends than he is.
"Then . . . hey there, friend," he jokes.
Váli Lokison | Parody
"You did say that. And when someone promises not to kill you? Pretty decent start."
... Okay, maybe /Daniel/ needs some more friends.
The 𝓑𝓸𝔂
Well, it's as good a promise as any.
"Guess I did say I wanted more friends," he jokes.
Váli Lokison | Parody
"Nah. Don't worry."
He can't say 'he's harmless,' that's not true. He can't say 'he wouldn't do that,' because he would.
How does he say 'I like you, so he'll stay his hand' without scaring him?
"He won't kill you."
The 𝓑𝓸𝔂
Váli glanced over at the lurking presence and swallows nervously.
“He’s not going to kill me is he?”
Váli Lokison | Parody
And that's when Daniel breaks and starts laughing too, glancing over his shoulder into the darkness.
"Hey, you wanna come help us figure it out?" Long pause. "I think you have him daydreaming about blenders now."
The 𝓑𝓸𝔂
Váli /does/ laugh.
“Your guess is as good as mine.”
Váli Lokison | Parody
Correction: His /parents/ are Catholic.
Stares.
Stares.
Doing his very best not to laugh.
"What was that supposed to be?"
The 𝓑𝓸𝔂
He’s a Catholic. Got it.
Umm.
Váli flails about in an attempt at the sign of the cross but looks like he’s swatting flies.
Váli Lokison | Parody
Don't know what that means, but...
And also with him?
The 𝓑𝓸𝔂
May the Norns be with him.
Váli Lokison | Parody
Yeah, alright.
He'll drink the Mystery Smoothies for the sake of peace.
The 𝓑𝓸𝔂
So . . .
. . . yes to the blender then?
Váli Lokison | Parody
More likely:
He'll run to Daniel with a wild look in his eyes, show him the blender as if it's a holy grail, demand a demonstration on how it functions, then retreat back to his corner and loudly blend things and then force Daniel to drink the product of it.
But it would occupy him!
