Chapter Text
Bahumia has been rid of the threat of Thalia for almost a month now, and it finally seemed like everything was starting to settle. The Band of Boobs made sure to make their rounds before settling themselves, checking in with allies and giving out healing or a helping hand here and there, but now it seemed our hero’s were able to rest without the over whelming dread of death hanging over them.
And where is a better place to relax than in the newly retaken back crick?
Hardwon knew he wanted to live in the Crick ever since learning all about it from Moon shine, and even visiting it the few times they did. His stump was in a perfect spot, about in the middle of moonshines and old Cobb’s. This is where our Half Elf has been setting up his homestead in for the past few days, moonshine making sure he had plenty of acorns in his toliet. You can never really have enough.
Young Bev wasn’t far, him and Erlin had just gotten back from hill home after checking in with Beverly’s mother. She had decided to stay in hill home, but she wished her youngin a safe trip back as he went back to the Crick. She felt he would do better there than him going back to living under his mothers roof.
And with everyone just going and going, it seemed time has really gotten away from everyone. Hardwon was putting the last bit of furniture into the living room, a futon right in the square middle of the living room, before he flopped right on it. “That’s it, I’m calling it quits. I’m done.”
The man relented, and Moonshine laughed as she put her hands on her hips. “Really? Wow, you only carried one thing. I guess those muscles are fading away fast.” Hardwon immediately sat up, frowning like a kid. “Nu-huh, no there not. Take that back, moon.”
Moonshine laughed, snorting as she patted the couch. “Oh jeez, you are so pitiful hard one.” Hardone frowned as he got up, immediately going to pick up something heavy outside, a giant log that people usually sit on. After picking it up and holding it over his head, he cursed as his back made a horrible pop. It made moonshine giggle as hardone slammed the log down. “Give it a rest, man, before you put yourself in the dirt.”
Hardwon grumbled as he crossed his arm, sitting down onto the log and looking away. Looking out into the yard, he saw the square of the crick and it seemed that a lot of people were out today. Even their dear friend, Bev, and his boyfriend, Erlin.
They were walking, hand in hand, Erlin was holding basket and Beverly seemed to have a bottle of wine. They looked like they were setting up a picnic area near the lake, and it made hardone sit up.
Pointing over at the two of them, he shook his head at moonshine. “Those two kids, you know, when I was his age no one could tie me down. Not even Gemma, you know, since our relationship was open.”
Moonshine raised a brow at him, but realized she didn’t need to question that. It just made her snort as she ran her hand across her possums head. “Well, I think it’s good for young bev. While they are just youngins, they need to have their puppy love time.”
Hardwon scoffed and just kept his arms crossed. “Yeah I guess so..I think I’m going to go back in and..”
His voice trailed off as he looked back at the two boys, who now seemed to be in a bit of a…agruement?
The duo watched the two scouts as what seemed to be a small disagreement only get more, and more firey, ending in Erlin grabbing his wine glass and splashing it in the face of the paladin. The two winced in a soft ooh, watching Erlin stand up and stomp away, Beverly standing up and rubbing his eyes, pointing a finger at him and yelling, “You call me immature, look at what you are doing!”
Moonshine stared at hardone, and he was already looking at her. They didn’t know what to do, this was not something they ever even thought could happen.
Beverly and Erlin are…Fighting???
