[A movie theater? That's wild. He'll have to remember to ask about that later, but first...]

Well, it's hard to explain but....

I guess you could say there's like... two wolves in me right now?

One wolf really understands why you want your saxophone back! And I want to return it to you!

But there's another wolf that wants to fight you for it. Which, that's new.

[It's so weird, Husk would feel like he was squatting in some rich dude's house if the rest hadn't come completely unfurnished.

Anyway, he takes a moment to consider this absolute batshit information Elliot has dropped on him. ]

...I ain't fucking fighting you over an instrument I've owned since before you were born, you skinny little twink.

Do I gotta get someone to hold you down so I can get my property back?

[fiddlestick]

It's not like I WANT to fight, you know!!

.... But yeah, that's probably a good idea.

[wiseoldbartender]

Rihgt. But you can't just give it me back. Sounds like some fucked up Kaisou bullshit if you ask me.

Fine. I'll get Lapis to come help.

[fiddlestick]

No kidding. Maybe it's something to do with my dragon curse? Ugh, I was afraid it'd start affecting my brain eventually.

[He's going to be stupid. He hates this]

Great! Lapis could totally kick my butt, so that'll do!

[wiseoldbartender]

...Fuuuuuuck that'd make sense. Dragons hoard shit, right? How many instruments have you got? Maybe it's that instead of fucking gold. You know, like how Zhongli collects impulsive purchase choices.

[ Sucks to suck, Elliot! ]

I don't think she WANTS to kick your butt. We'll see how it goes.

[fiddlestick]

49?

I've always been a bit of a collector, but I'll admit the past couple months it's gotten... more extreme. I figured it was just stress from everything going on, but...

[Wanting to fight Husk is Not a Stress response]

[wiseoldbartender]

...

Yeah, Elliot, I hate to be the one to break it to you but 49 instruments is too many fucking instruments. Jesus christ, how did you even GET that many?

People generally don't wanna fight me as a stress response. I mean. Mostly anyway.

I mean, shit. Least you know what it is now?

[fiddlestick]

....

Husk, I'm trying to resist against my dragon impulses as best as I can because I do understand that saxophone is rightfully yours.

But try to convince me to get rid of my other instruments, and we're going to have problems.

[wiseoldbartender]

...

Okay, Kid, I'm gonna need to you take a big fucking cleansing breath and maybe think about your life choices for a hot second. Jesus.

I don't give a shit. Have as many instruments as you want, it ain't my fucking house you're clogging up with them. I just want mine back.

[fiddlestick]

Just making my position clear! ♪

Anyway, give me about thirty minutes and I'll be ready for you guys.

[wiseoldbartender]

Fucking noted. Jesus Christ. You can be mildly terrifying sometimes, Kid.

Sure we'll be there.

[ He doesn't believe he has to get his daughter to help him fight a twink for his saxophone. That should not be the weirdest part of this month. ]
