Work Text:
The Hero asked a lot of questions on the way to the ferry. It was necessary to fill the silence and therefore she asked all possible questions about this world and its inhabitants.
Strange creatures literally surrounded them, and seemed to be chasing them.
When the questions ended, there was silence. Piercing, dead silence. It's a great atmosphere to think about whether it was a good decision to agree to "be a hero."
This is too stressful thought, so the girl was thinking about how to entertain herself.
This thought was followed by another question.
— Are monsters afraid of anything?
— A lot of things. — the "worst monster" answered almost indifferently.
The child thought for a minute.
What can monsters be afraid of? Lies? Maybe doubts? Or maybe something so naive and stupid that you might think it's not fear at all. Such as..
— Tickle! Are monsters ticklish?
The man stopped for a second, and then continued walking, slowing down a little. He didn't know the answer to the question. And I think I didn't want to find out.
— I... don't know. Rather, I have never asked this question. He paused for a moment and continued again. — In any case, we don't have time for this. Let's go.
The Hero did not like at all that her question was not given a full answer. She wanted to know, even though she didn't know why it was necessary.
Then we'll find out right now! — Suddenly she exclaimed and jumped on the monster that had just turned to face her.
The man did not have time to understand anything as the child grabbed him with both hands and began to tickle his sides.
— What are you-
His legs gave way and the monster sat down on the ground, trying to unhook the child from him.
Hoarse and really "TV" laughter flooded the neighborhood.
RGB had already cursed the day when he decided to take her with him.
The main rule: do not work with children and animals! But no, why draw the necessary conclusions, it's better to make a hasty decision, and suffer from stupid tricks again!
While the TV monster tried to pull her away, the girl clung to him, squeezing the clothes on her back even more.
The TV scoundrel screamed and threw the girl aside.
— That's enough!
RGB was sitting at the ground trying to catch his breath and the Hero sat down nearby with a smug look.
Red and purple blood flowed profusely from the TV screen.
— Why did you do that? I told you, we don't have time for your childish antics!
The girl silently continued to smile, which in general could be counted as an answer.
The monster got up from the ground, dusted off his clothes and slowly trudged along the designated path.
Madras' house was still visible on the horizon and maybe she saw it.
What a shame..
The hero jumped up and ran after RGB.
She realized what she wanted and now silently walked behind, continuing to smile maliciously.
