“Your Longness! It is a pleasure to see you here!”
The Undaunted Guardian of Marooner’s Bay knelt before Horrorboros, King of Salmonids. The kings often liked to stop by Marooner’s Bay for a quick check-in, & as it would turn out, this was one of those times.
“HELLO, UNDAUNTED GUARDIAN OF MAROONER’S BAY! HOW GOES IT? ANY GRIZZCO THIEVES SHOW UP LATELY?”
“Not as of late, your Longness. The only sign of Grizzco I've seen is a single octoling who comes to befriend me. What their purpose is for this, I don’t know, but I will not-”
“YOU HAVEN’T SPLATTED THEM YET?”
The Undaunted Guardian froze. Why hadn’t she splatted that octoling yet?
“..No, your Longness. Everytime they come by, they always end up distracting me with.. gifts or unexpected conversation.”
“I SEE, I SEE.” Horrorboros hummed. “I SHALL INFORM HIS LARGENESS COHOZUNA OF THIS. IN THE MEANTIME, YOU FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THAT OCTOLING.”
“Will do, your Longness.”
“FANTASTIC! SEE YOU LATER.”
Horrorboros dove back into the water, leaving The Undaunted Guardian kneeling there. She sighed.
“Find out more about the octoling... how am I to do that?”
