Quackity smiled, not facing Charlie as he spoke " Of course, we can repurpose it temporarily-"
"Ooo~!"
Quackity curiously turned around to see what the slime was 'ooo'ing about.
Charlie was excitedly stepping on the railing, smiling brightly and looking down. "Woah~!" He chirped.
Quackity's heart skipped a beat, sheer panic over coming him. "NO NO NO NO-" he gulped, watching as Charlie turned around to face him with cunfusion written on his face. "S-step off the rail!"
"I'll bounce!" Charlie said innocently, giving a silly smile to his friend.
"No no no- listen!" Quackity said loudly, he wasn't meaning to shout- but he was scared and nervous. One slip and..
"Charlie your made of meat now-"
Charlie seemed more confused
"i-if you land on the floor.."
"What?" Charlie asked, looking back down.
"NO, NO- you'll die. Your bones will break- a-and you'll explode into millions of pieces!" The man mustered out, even in his panicking state.
"One billion little slimes!" He spoke happily
"NO! nonononono-" Quackity, deciding this wasn't working, quickly walked over and stood on the rail next to Charlie. "No no-" realizing he has been repeating himself, he gulped "Listen-" Quackity spoke in a softer tone, hoping it would work more instead of yelling. "Do not. You'll die, you won't turn into slimes, you have meat and bones."
Quackity offered a hand out to Charlie, who seemed to be understanding it now. "Dont ever do that again.." He spoke, stepping carefully off the rail with Charlie.
"I.. have too many bones?" He asked, leaning on the rail and looking down.
"NO, no- just- just get away from the edge, okay?" Quackity nervously spoke, he quickly smiled "Look, if you get away from here I'll get rid of your Loans, okay?"
Charlie looked curiously
" Loookk.." Quackity said, holding diamonds and dropping them on the ground to lead away from the edge.
"Shiny!" Charlie gasped, following with a bright smile and picking them up.
Quackity let out a breath of relief, smiling.
There was silence for one minute, before Charlie asked "And all i have to do is watch over the purple kid?"
Quackity blinked, suddenly remembering why they had gone up here In the first place. "Yes, that's all you have to do." He nodded. "Find him, watch him for a few days and report back to me.." He nervously looked to the left "otherwise I'll be in big trouble.."
"Big trouble?" Charlie asked "well I wouldn't want that, Quackity from las navadas!" With a soft smile, he sighed "You know what? you can call me that.." "really?!" He excitedly shouted. "you know what else i can call you?" Quackity tilted his head "Yeah?" Smiling, the slime quickly jumped into a tight hug with Quackity. "Best friend!"
"Oof-" Quackity huffed, staring down at the person hugging him. He sighed, rolling his eyes and giving a fond smile. "Yeah, yeah.." " Now, lets get off this damn tower."
