You should burn

Summary:

Prompt — "Touch the wall you are closest to. Is it warm?"

Nothing Lamb does is ever good enough for their flock.

Notes:

Part of the '100 words ish' writing event me and some friends are doing, based upon prompts from comfortinghorrors on tumblr!

Don't you just love it :) when you already have lots of items :) and your follower won't accept the ones you already have?? :) :) :)

Continuing my tradition of Metallica song titles as fic titles :heart:

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

"'I want some mushrooms from Anura.'" Lamb held a hand in front of them and made it speak as they mocked their follower. "Never mind the mushrooms I already foraged. They want new ones, better ones!"

They sighed, rubbing a hand over their face and growling low in their throat. Today could have been spent on new buildings and embellished decorations, perhaps a working kitchen. Instead, here they were crusading.

"I should just take the loss of faith and..." They trailed off as they walked into the next room, the utter darkness causing them to huff.

Joy.

They reached out a hand towards the wall, only to touch something fuzzy.

And warm.

And... Breathing?

They just barely managed to throw themself to the side as fire erupted in front of them. As they drew their sword and charged into battle, Lamb found part of themself wishing that they had just killed their follower instead.
