[What the hell you up to now, Thusia?]

[Taken aback some. Ironically, killing sixteen big monsters made him feel like a monster himself.]

W-well...I...I would not say that. [Awkward laugh]

Are there monsters bigger than stiltwalkers where you come from?

[It takes him a second to answer.]

There were. [But not anymore because I totally killed them all. :|]

That must've been scary. You're really brave.

They were. But they were also very beautiful.

[He averts his gaze.]

It was not an act of bravery. It was desperation.

[Aaand that's really all he has to say on the matter as he starts to drag the Stiltwalker and starts walking.]

[Becca, on the other hand, stops. She holds her free hand out to him, concerned.]

Hey.

It's...it's okay, you know. It's okay.

[And she will try to hug because you sound seriously troubled.]

[U-um, taking hand? Why does she do thi--okay kind of dropping Stiltstrider legs and stiffens because physical contact oh god what do?

[Yes you are getting forcible snuggles. You need them.]

[J-just...standing there, not pulling away but not returning the hug because that would feel awkward. The last person to hug him was his dead girlfriend and girlfriend hugs are all he knows! But hey he's managing words.]

I...a-appreciate what you're doing. B-but it will never be alright.

[That is his way of saying please stop trying for your own sake I will always be miserable.]

[You cannot out emo me. I am Becca Harcourt, special snowflake of Thusia.]

It will. Time will make it right, Wander. This is your second chance, to have a good life, no matter what went wrong in your last one. If I can find happiness here, so can you, I promise.

No. I do not deserve a second chance. Nor do I want one.

[His tone sounds more cold now. Though that is mostly so he doesn't break down and cry like a baby.]

Wander. Everyone deserves a second chance. Everyone. I believe in you.

[Oh please don't say that.]

Don't.

You can't stop me~.

[He's just going to "Hm" at that. DAMN IT SHE'S RIGHT.]

I believe in you, Wander, and I believe in your second chance. Even you deserve to be happy.

[If only you knew, Becca. 8|]

...We should keep moving.

[Way to ruin the moment.]

...Yeah.

[Wander is not good at 'moments', clearly. So he is just going to gently pull away and pick up the big spider's legs again.

Awkward, awkward.]

[Back to civilisation we go!]

[...With a giant spider!]

[I'll just head straight for the shrine room with you so we can purify that bug so I can cook it. And you need to hand in these flowers.]

[He's going to stop for a moment partially because holy crap he needs to rest for a moment. And because gods. :|]

The flowers need to be in a vase first. Is there a god that I can get one from?

[Okay hauling the giant bastard further into the shrine room now.]

Dellen. I'll pay for it; helping you with the flowers should be enough for one vase.

Thank you, Becca.
