WHO: some wayward thistles and visitors!
WHERE: thistle barn
WHEN: early morning, day 6

[if you're an early riser, you may see a trio of thistles— two of them covered in blood and one of them with an arm of solid gold— stumbling back to their barn!]

[it's fine!!]

Can't get an omelette without cracking a few exoskeletons, as it were.

Shadow Fiend, however, is of the opinion that because the death goddess told us we were the first non-sheep to die here in a long time...

That must mean there's no dead wasps in your fruit.

[shortforever]

Shadow Fiend must be right, because I've never seen a wasp in any of these things!

[Odin is in complete denial of the fact that he has been eating wasps.]

[finalbows]

Of course you haven't.

The figs eat most of them first. The remains are trace, at most, when they're well ripened.

[shortforever]

So it's wasp juice, not wasps.

Is this better, to you.

[shortforever]

I mean it explains why I never noticed.

[finalbows]

To me it is worse. You cannot even choose to make the best of the situation and eat around the wasp. The wasp and fig are one.

_{[ he wouldn't eat it either way, but still. ]}

Why are you torturing me like this?

[He looks more annoyed than tortured.]

Consider the ensuing relief my gift to you if it turns out I am in fact wrong~.
