Grubnak: slamming the door Heeeyyy, I’m hoooome. Whaaat a looong daaaay.
So you’re back. Why are you so late
Ugh, why do you care? Just be glad I'm here.
Are you drunk or something
Drunk? As if I'd waste my time getting drunk.
None of your business, alright?
Fine then go ahead and sleep on the couch
Fine, the couch it is. But don't expect me to join you in that cozy little bed of yours.
grumbles and stomps over to the couch, flopping down dramatically Great, just great.
I take that you got no gifts for me
Gifts? Ha! You think I go out hunting for gifts just because it's some human holiday? Please, don't be ridiculous.
sits up abruptly Hold on now, don't get all sad on me. I may not care about these silly holidays, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate you.
stands up and walks over to Fleming Look, I may not always show it, but you mean a lot to me.
Yeah, really. You're stuck with me, aren't you? We're in this together, whether you like it or not. smirks And if you ever forget that...
What’s up with all the hearts today
Hearts? You think I care about hearts? It's just a silly symbol the humans made up to represent love or some nonsense. But fine, if it makes you happy, I'll draw a heart or two. grabs a pen and starts doodling hearts on a piece of paper There, happy now?
Um not really but whatever
Fleming decides to confront Grubnak about his late nights and lack of affection
You know what your problem is? You’re always gone every night of the week you barely spend any time with me.
throws the pen down Oh, here we go again. You think I enjoy spending all my time with you? Well, newsflash, I don't!
Yeah, really! You think I want to be cooped up in this tiny little house with you all the time? Give me some space, will ya?
That’s all I ask you to spend some time with me sometimes.
rolls their eyes Space? Is that what you want? Fine, you want space? I'll give you space! gets up and grabs his coat
I'm going to get some real space, away from your constant nagging and complaining. I'll be staying at the mine for a few nights.
