"Welp, looks like we got some cleaning up to do.
All that work making the garden Magicam-worthy, and now it's a total tire fire. Laaame." Cater whined as he leaned on y/n

"I'll help out." Trey offered

"No, why don't you get Riddle to the nurse's office.
That was a full-blown case of overblot. We need to make absolutely sure he's okay." Cater turned down the offer

"And besides... I have my y/n-channnnn~"

"Mr. Diamond is correct. I will go along with you." Crowley butts in, trying to get away from y/n, mildly traumatised that she would hit him with her pot.

"Understood. Thank you, sir." Trey speaks, slightly disappointed that he couldn't take y/n with him

"Man, am I STARVED after usin' so much magic! Hmmm Hey, check it out!" Grim calls out, pointing at a familiar black rock

"That's another black magestone, just like the one we found at the Dwarfs' Mine!" Grim speaks in an excited tone

Y/n's lips thin out as she stares at the rock.
'I thought rocks weren't edible..' she thinks in her head

"You're right. Wonder where it came from?" Deuce speaks

"Just don't put it in your mouth this time." Ace warns, standing in front of y/n's face so she doesn't have to see grim eat a rock

"No way. After how great that last one tasted, I can't get that thing in my mouth fast enough!" Grim yells and shoved the rock in his mouth before anyone can react

"Aaand there it goes." Ace sighs as Crowley cringes in disgust

"Oh, Grimmy... Have some self-respect, honey! That was literally trash." Cater calls out, putting his head in y/n's shoulder

"Ahhhhh! Rich and sweet, but with a complex hint of bitterness in the aftertaste.
Equally delicious, but with quite a different mouthfeel from that last one I ate." Grim comments, ignoring Cater

"Really?...should I try a rock?" Y/n asks herself, bending down about to grab a rock, but being stopped by cater who grabbed her and slung her over his shoulder

"Eep!"

" As a monster, maybe his stomach works differently than ours?" Ace contemplates

"Even still, eating trash can't be good for anyone." Deuce speaks, grossed out

"Oooh! I just tried the grass, and the flavor was surprisingly pleasant! Crisp, even!" Grim smirks, making everyone more grossed out and y/n intrigued

"That's our lawn! Don't eat that!" Deuce scolds

"Uh, A-F-K while I go throw up... But...seriously, guys. Thanks." Cater speaks, whispering the last part while still holding y/n on his shoulder

"Did you just say something?" Ace asks

" Hm? Nope. Not a thing." Cater whistles

"Oh! He said-" y/n was stopped by cater slamming a hand over her mouth.
