WHAT

Barnabos has great hands.

Hhhhhhhh I DONT KNOW WHAT IM DOING IS HE UNCOMFORTABLE DOES HE LIKE IT I DONT KNOW AHHHHHH

Yeah?? Good. Great! This is why I'm the plans guy.

Maybe we can.. y'know. Keep holding hands. For a while.

.... Maybe a little .... Your hands are pretty warm, though...........

[He stills, biting his cheek as Barnabos' big hand wraps around his own.] O-Oh... I-I guess you're right.......

Huh? Oh--. [Stops!!] You know me. Nervous guy and all that. Heh ...ehehhh..heh .....

Hm? Yeah...! Yeah, I'm great! [Fiddlingfiddling.] How are you?

You're welcome, Barnabos!!! Heh... Heh... Ahem. So. I guess you can... Do whatever now. Dinner's done....

Well-well. I do. A-and that's that. I think you're great. [Fidgeting with a coin in his fingers nervously.]

.... Ya do? You know that I-I think you're brave and strong and smart???

W-well! That's good!! I think you're a lot of good things too, Barnabos!!

Yeah...? Good things? [Looking up at him.]

.... Whaddya think of me?

[Skrimm throws his stick into the flames, hunching over.]

Hey, Barnabos?

Apparently not EVERYONE can tell.......

[Skrimm has this look on his face. A look of thinking and almost frustration. He's not good at this. .

And the fish isn't great.

OhHH Barnabos wouldn't be interested in a no-good goblin like him!!!]

I WISH I had a mouthful of "fish" if you know what I mean...

..... [Suddenly a mouth full of fish.] Mhffhhdhdhdhhmmff..

Right right. Y-yeah. Of course. Stupid me... [His green little cheeks blush at that hair-ruffle.] Guess I was... Uh ... Distracted.

Yyyeah I might've had it too close to the fire, I guess...

But it's edible, right?? You like it??

Heh... Thanks. [He takes a seat next to Barnabos, taking his fish with him.] W-welll... Tell me how you like it!!

-but. It's Barnabos!!]

Though, I guess... I mean. It's probably not fun eating alone...

Y-ya sure? You don't want it all for yourself? I mean, I'm just a little guy. I'll be fiiiiine. [In any other instance, Skrimm would be absolutely going for splitting it, and he will split it if Barnabos wants to. But he's going out of his way to be generous and selfless... Not usually his thing, -

... Yeah!! Of course it is!! Heh. Done so fast because I picked up all my good cooking skills from you!! Haha!! [He brings the fish on a stick over to Barnabos.] Here ya go, big guy!! Tell me what you think.
[Oh that blush looks pretty on Barnabos....]

Well uh. It's true! Great smile. It's not only.... Reassuring, but......... Y'know. Handsome. And stuff.
Hey I think the fish is done haha!! [He plucks the stick from the ground. Okay so maybe it's a little burnt.]

.... [Muttering to himself as he pokes the fish with a finger] ...don't even know when this thing is cooked...

[He clears his throat and looks over his shoulder at Barnabos again.]
H-have I ever told you that you... Uh... Have a very nice smile, Barnabos.

ME? NERVOUS?? W-w-why would I be nervous???? I'm just... Cooking. For you. Nothing nerve-wracking about that!! [He shifts on his feet, hands shoving into pockets. He turns to pretend to check the fish.]
