Chapter Text
Leif brushed the dirt off himself after getting back up. Nullris stood up as well, mimicking Leif by brushing himself off too. Leif stared at him in confusion before moving on. Nullris wandered away from Leif until he found a wolf. Leif still had bones on him in case he needed white dye, along with the fact that skeletons kept attacking him while he was building, so he decided to hand them to Nullris. Nullris stared at the bones Leif had given him before looking back at Leif. "What?" Nullris looked back down at the bones. "...You have no clue what to do with them, do you..?" Nullris nodded. Leif sighed and walked over to the wolf. Nullris followed. The wolf stared at them and tilted its head. So did Nullris before looking back at Leif. Leif grabbed one of the bones from Nullris's hand and offered it to the wolf. The wolf took it and stared at Leif. "This thing wants more bones..? Greedy-ass dog, bro." Nullris watched the interaction for a moment before holding all seven remaining bones out to the wolf. The wolf happily took every single one before sitting down, waiting for a collar. "Shit... I didn't bring a collar... I also forgot how to make one." Leif stared at the crafting table he had placed earlier. "I remember we need dye, an iron nugget, and... uh... was it three wool or three leather...?" Nullris wandered off and disappeared for about ten minutes before returning with items tucked away inside himself. He walked over to the crafting table, crouched down, and placed three wool and an iron nugget onto it. After crafting the collar, he picked it back up, dyed it yellow like a pufferfish, then gently fastened it around the wolf's neck. "How did you know the recipe-?" Leif asked. Nullris looked at him for a moment before tilting his head, as if the answer was obvious. He pointed at the crafting table, then made a small motion with his hands like he was putting blocks together. "...You... just remembered it?" Nullris nodded. "...You have a better memory than me. That's not fair." Nullris gave Leif what almost looked like a smug expression before shrugging. Leif stared at him for another moment before shaking his head. "Whatever." He turned and started walking back toward the house. The wolf immediately trotted after Nullris instead. Leif looked over his shoulder. "...Traitor."
