[ The world around Tuck and Billie is dark, gloomy, and full of dust. The bar they are in, Colonel Dan's, has seen better days. Tables have been overturned, something's been in here making a mess despite the magic that was imbued into the door. Guess it didn't hold. ]
So, who wants to help Billie n' me clean out our bar? That we, ah, never used.
[ Tuck does his best to make it sound like the most riveting fucking thing a person could volunteer for. ]
We'll pay you in... uh...
[ He looks down at Billie who is currently out of camera view. Hard to put both a two foot child in the same frame with a seven foot man. ]
Friendship? Oh, booze!
Either, or. Whichever turns out to be of equal or lesser value.
[ From the dark, something falls off the bar counter and breaks. Then skittering claws scuttle across the floor. ]
There's someone else in here.
... ..... So, who wants to help Billie n' me chase a mystery creature out of our bar? Ehhh? Could be fun—Oh fuuuck! It touched my leg!

And he offers him such a straightforward kindness as the sharing of a new, delicious foodstuff. Ortus suddenly feels as though if a zucchini beast did appear, he would face it quite resolutely (if not bravely) for the sake of this small gentleman - if only for his approval, since of the two of them, he suspects that Billie is indeed more adept with a blade.]
I would like that very much.
[Some time after the work is done, whenever they next meet. It has been a long time since Ortus knew anyone quite so short as a friend, but he thinks he has not completely lost the knack after all.
(He must speak further with the boy's fathers, of course, but at least the one of them seems boisterously friendly enough.)]
