[sigh]

Guess I gotta get y'all back there, then.

That . . . was not a term of our bargain. You have . . . already earned your pay.

What, so you'd rather I head over there ahead of ya and ransack yer barn for booze? Happy to do that too.

Obviously not.

See? That's what I figured.

Then . . . you may assist. [ for some reason??? ]

[he gave a perfectly good reason!!]

I still gotta give your shepherd his arm back, anyway.

[he has Vash's prosthetic hanging from his belt]

And he said he'd give me booze too.

Yes. Please . . . return his arm.

Don't look at me like that. He gave it to me for safekeepin'.

I did not . . . look at you a way.

[ manages to haul themselves out of the fountain ]

[ only to immediately eat shit into the grass. ]

Hnn.

...Wow, that was the worst move I've ever seen.

[This is not true. It is however an insult.]

You still messed up some?

[ why do they keep feeling better when he’s rude? This better not be a fucking “crush” or something. ]

I am still . . . messed up . . . some.

[ mostly they’re just fucking exhausted ]

Good thing I stuck around, then. If ya all just faceplanted here and never made it to the barn, it'd be a huge pain to find the beer.

[He offers them a hand up]

Yes. My room is . . . quite boobytrapped . . .

[ Takes his hand, but they’re pretty awkward getting onto their feet.

They have only gone a week on 90 minutes a day of sleep and then exploded to death, which is really not that much undue stress if you think about it. Get it together, Mute. ]

[Vicious is really not one to set a sane baseline on undue stress. However he can tell they are still pretty unstable.]

Hmmmm.

[He releases their hand only to pick them up bodily and toss them over his shoulder.]

[ IMMEDIATELY WISHES TO STAB HIM but they left all weapons at home when headed to the Death Pit so instead just just start trying to squirm away ]

Unhand me.

What, ya wanna ignore my kind generosity and walk all the way there? I already hauled ya around plenty while ya were dead.

I’m am not dead now!

But you're still messed up some, right? I'm fine. Take advantage of it while ya can.

[ fine. FINE!! they will become the angriest little potato sack ]

Do what you want.

'Course. I never do anythin' else.

[He will make sure the rest of Bluebell is on their feet and/or other people before they go, but he is definitely hauling them back to the barn.]

[ The trip is both humiliating and unnerving. Even though no adult here (and particularly not this adult) have been anything but kind with them, they can’t keep the thought at bay, “what would Master Warden have done, if they were ever this weak in front of him?” A slightly (ok, very) shoulder in the gut would be far from the worst of it. ]

[

]

[When they get to the barn door he sets them down on their feet unceremoniously. He has never been to Bluebell and has no idea where anything is. Including booby traps.]

Hopefully there won't be any more explodin' for a while and ya can take a little time to recover.

After ya give me my payment, o'course.

[ By the time they get on their feet again, their ability to Perform Personhood has dropped to basically zero. They just nod and makes it to their room without any major stumbles to retrieves the bottle of bubbly. It is unclear how true their mention of boobs traps was.

They pass the bottle over, still without a word. ]
