You not telling me is only making me worry more...

Hunter, we're friends. The entire point is to have each other's backs.

[Gus Porter @IllusionBinds]

||Yikessss I forgot how hard it is for me to write gus

[Gus Porter @IllusionBinds]

[ Sighing when seeing Hunter's expression change ]

Yeah, it was. But you're still doing it. Maybe a little different this time, but something's wrong and you're not telling me.

So... can you tell me?

[Gus Porter @IllusionBinds]

[ giving a flat stare. He's not buying it, sorry bud ]

Remember when I ran into you at hexside and caught you eating buttloads of hexmix instead of actual food?

You said you were fine then.

You were lying.

[ Crossing his arms with a shrug]

[Gus Porter @IllusionBinds]

[ Coming out from around the corner with a little smile ]

Yeah, man. Everything's fine.

Just... wanted to check in on you.

[Gus Porter @IllusionBinds]

[ poking out from around a corner] ]

To... cheer you up?

[Gus Porter @IllusionBinds]

[ Using an illusion to boop @MALUSFlNlS's nose. It promptly poofs shortly after ]

[Gus Porter @IllusionBinds]

Oh my Titan the way to a man's heart IS food!

. . .

Platonically

[Gus Porter @IllusionBinds]

@honeyed_truths I... don't think they do that anymore

[Gus Porter @IllusionBinds]

Wait are we trying to get kikimora a date???

[Gus Porter @IllusionBinds]

@honeyed_truths You know what? I think Kiki's fine where they're at

[Gus Porter @IllusionBinds]

"I- No that's not the point."

What does Gus even say here? 'Remember when you had a panic attack during the hexside attack? I mean like that' is a little too much. But Hunter doesn't take hints. At all.

"I mean Luz and I just want to make sure you're taking care of yourself."

[Hunter. @CovensPrince]

“I can protect me. I’ve done it all my life!” He states proudly.

[Gus Porter @IllusionBinds]

"I think so." In his defense, he was more focused on not getting eaten to see what it was that jumped out the wall.

"Look, I know you want to protect all of us, but who protects you?" He asks seriously. "Luz is just worried. And I can see why."

[Hunter. @CovensPrince]

“Wasn’t that the thing that popped out of the wall and ruined my first blueprints of the portal?”

A pause.

“And I’m trying to protect us from whatever is lurking out there. I can. Luz just gets mad for no reason.”

[Gus Porter @IllusionBinds]

Humming along in agreement, though stops.

"I get why– who knows what lurks in the dark waiting for unsuspecting humans to come out of their houses?" A pause.

He leans in closer and whispers "Have you heard of Possums? They eat the human's natural predator with no drawbacks."

[Hunter. @CovensPrince]

“…yeah, I know. It’s weird. And Luz keeps getting mad at me for perimeter checks.”

[Gus Porter @IllusionBinds]

Shooting Hunter a disbelieving look, but letting it go at the question.

"Just... can't sleep. Can't stop thinking."

He's not used to things like this, so this double sucks for him.

[Hunter. @CovensPrince]

“…I’m very talented. Why aren’t you sleeping?”

[Gus Porter @IllusionBinds]

Looking closer at the stitching in disbelief.

"That's really good for sewing blind."

[Hunter. @CovensPrince]

“…I don’t know.” :(

He isn’t really sure; he can just. See in the dark.

“I can’t??”

The stitching proves otherwise.

[Gus Porter @IllusionBinds]

Tiredly coming over. It's like he's tired when the lights are on, but wide awake when they're off.

"How do you even see what you're doing?"

[Hunter. @CovensPrince]

“The idea is in my head and I can’t sleep until I do it!”

[Gus Porter @IllusionBinds]

Flipping on the lights.

And just... staring.

"Dude..."

[Hunter. @CovensPrince]

“I’m not even using the sewing machine!” He’s doing it by hand.

[Gus Porter @IllusionBinds]

Press X for doubt...

"If I turn on the light and you're sewing, I'm hiding the sewing machine." He's already getting up to turn on the light.

[Hunter. @CovensPrince]

“Not sewing.”

Don’t turn on the light.

[Gus Porter @IllusionBinds]

"Trying to sleep. Which you should be doing, too."

He sighs, reaching up to rub his eyes while sitting up slowly.

"But– I can't sleep so I guess I'm just... awake. So what are /you/ doing?"

The problem with deflecting is that it can deflected back.

[Hunter. @CovensPrince]

“…what are *you* doing?”

Not a great deflection, but.
