I see... I assume you just “bump fists?”

@Artifact

Just like it says on the tin.
*Let’s go of the handshake*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

I’m not sure what this custom is.
*Shakes your hand*

@Artifact

It’s called a fist bump. It’s a more casual version of this.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Confusion briefly flashes across my eyes*
A... handshake?

@Artifact

*Glances back and forth between my hand and you, then opens up my hand to a handshake position instead*
If that’s more your speed, I guess.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

I...
*Shifts my eyes back and forth*
Won’t say no, but I won’t trust anyone.

@Artifact

That’s fine.
*Holds out my fist toward you*
Trust wasn’t part of the deal.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Phh, no! I don’t know what you’re talkin’ about!
*slaps your shoulder*
What a silly guy!

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

He would probably eat you.

@Galvanize

*Gives you an amused “Really?” look*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

I can do that myself. But at this point I know what happens if you agree to something vague, so what are you thinking, and how do you want me to pay you?

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

I'll eat him someday too. You mark my words.

@Artifact

Well, the terms on both ends are vague, so let’s clear it up. I don’t really know exactly the things you’ve lost on a detailed level, so I can’t really say what I’d do for you. But as for payment… How about an up front promise that you won’t hold me to any obligations of things I decide cross a line for me. Deal?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*laughs nervously*
W-What do you mean?

@Galvanize

You’re not all serious, all the time or anything.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

He’s a goofball, but he also has his moments. It’s hard to understand tol for others sometimes cause it is just…wild.
*laughs*
But that’s him.

@Galvanize

And I can see at least a small amount of it is inherited, huh?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Ehhh, it’s just weird. Though, when I get the chance, I’ll ask him. He won’t lie to me. Probably for some goofy reason too.

@Galvanize

That implies his reasoning is usually goofy… Yeah, I could see it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

I know you don’t know them well, but Dad doesn’t usually pull punches mid way. Especially when he knows that his target can take it.

@Galvanize

Hm. You’ve really got the tinfoil hat on for this one, haven’t you?
