Chapter Text
Nom had somehow convinced the two into playing farkle, though they were still hesitant. 4C noticed that Jonathan was clearly more wary of Nom because he only agreed to play farkle with Mae and even then he only played one game. Spidey was fine after a few rounds and was seemingly addicted already.
His observations were interrupted by Jonathan, "So what exactly are you?" Nom quickly shot him a glare at the question. "I mean- not trying to be rude! It's just I keep seeing you bounce everywhere and you make that weird wet noise each time you hit the ground." 4C tried reassuring him as he spoke, waving his hands around dismissively. "No no, it's okay! I'm a slime, and I'm assuming I look different where you are from?"
"Well… no…"
"Huh?"
"Well what am I if I still look like myself?" He brought his hand up to scratch at his hood in confusion. "I guess I never really thought about it…" He shrugged as he continued, "We do have a polar bear looking guy in our universe."
"I mean that isn't the weirdest thing here, we have a cat turned human at the Red Kingdom!" Mae quickly cursed at the computer she was going against, "It's weird thinking about a 4C that can not bounce." She visibly shivered at the thought. "So you guys never questioned a blue slime guy and a polar bear?" Nom brought it up as 4C was thinking about it. Spidey was the one to respond this time, "Nope! It's kinda hard to judge when going through an apocalypse!" Nom shrugged, "Fair point."
4C was starting to worry about how the others were going to handle Spidey and Jonathan. Spidey was easy to get along with but Jonathan wasn't the most friendly guy. He was the most worried about Owain; he was nicer nowadays but he was still very judgemental of most things 4C did. He only seemed to slightly appreciate the fact that 4C did most of the building around the kingdom. Owain was not going to be happy about him having guests in the Blue Kingdom without a warning.
Speaking of the lion, 4C could hear the heavy footsteps of armor coming.
"What is going in here?" The lion pointed at Spidey and Jonathan with his sword. 4C felt himself melt the slightest bit, "Well uhm, they just randomly appeared so I decided to bring them here!" He could feel Owain's judgemental glare even though it wasn't visible. "Right…" Nom luckily had his back; thank goodness he had not told him the truth yet, "Don't worry, we already interrogated them."
"Alright then, if you say so." Owain put his sword back in its place.

Jonathan already did not like this guy. He understood that this was a kingdom but compared to Nom, he was heavily armored. Also not the mention the sword pointed at both him and Spidey, it wasn't very welcoming and did not sooth his nerves one bit. Jonathan sensed the tension coming from 4C and the furry. Could he even count the guy as a furry?
"Hi! My name's Spidey and he's Jonathan!" She proceeded to point and poke at him, "Who are you?" Somehow even with a full mask on, they could tell that he was looking them up and down. "My name is Owain, I am one of the Blue Kingdom's knights." He quickly muttered something about manners under his breath. Jonathan shot him a nasty look but Owain didn't seem to notice.
They had moved on from farkle when Owain had arrived, so Spidey was messing around with Nom and Mae curiously as Owain observed them. Jonathan moved his hand up to 4C's ear as he moved closer to him, " I really don't like that guy." 4C's expression turned changed to a nervous one as he took a quick glance at Owain before responding. "He's a little strict but I think he's okay!" Jonathan gave him a non-believing squint, "Uhuh…"
Jonathan refocused his attention towards whatever Spidey was doing. "May I ask you question?" Owain put his hand on his hip, "Go ahead." He took a small pause before continuing, "Are you a furry?"
"…"
"Jonathan you can't just ask someone that!" Spidey whisper shouted at him as if that would do something. He muttered a few sorrys to her but there was no meaning behind them. "A what?" For having a mask on his face, Owain was quite expressive. "You don't know what a furry is?" Both Spidey and Jonathan could not hide their disbelief. "No, am I supposed to?" Jonathan guessed that made sense since they were in what, medieval times or something?
"A furry is someone in an animal costume! Usually they have fur, so maybe you aren't one…" Spidey tilted her head and tapped her point finger on her chin, as if she were a theorist, "Would someone in a reptile fursuit count as a furry?" Jonathan held his head in his hands in disappointment, "Yeah, whatever she said."
As Nom and Mad were giggling in the background, Owain just shooked his head and sighed. "No, I am not a 'furry'."

4C felt like he was melting even more. They were not making a good impression.
