That isn't my only role, but it's something that I offer.

[skelebro]

i'm willing to make an offer in exchange for a certain kind of flower.
interested?

[thirdreturned]

Potentially. I need details.

[skelebro]

it's called a golden flower.

[There's an image file attached. A fairly detailed pencil sketch of a pretty if otherwise nondescript sort of flower.]

species from the surface, back where i come from.
corollas with five to six yellow petals.
sticky seeds.
edible, too. people liked to turn 'em into tea back home.

[thirdreturned]

Is there anything you're offering specifically in exchange?

My demand about the cessation of pointless jokes is not off the table.

[skelebro]

i'm guessing it's never leaving the table, no matter how many people i emotionally devastate in terms of pricing.
am i right?

[thirdreturned]

You would likely be correct.

I don't care what you tell others, just refrain around me.

[skelebro]

fine.
just outta curiosity, what kinda consequences would there be if i slip up here and again?

[thirdreturned]

A flower or two may find itself unnourished by our artificial sunlight.

[skelebro]

guess i'd better do my best not to slip up, huh?
we gotta deal?

[He ain't gonna mention that the flowers seemed to grow like wildfire on their own Underground. Chances are those consequences ain't an accidental thing, but likely a deliberate action on the god's part.

Visual gags only it is, then.]

[thirdreturned]

Alright.

It's a deal.

[skelebro]

cool.
thanks, pal.

[skelebro]

[Wow. It's almost like he didn't actually set out to try .]

good enough?

[thirdreturned]

Very. You'll find what you need potted on my altar.

[skelebro]

thanks.
