Don't Starve Characters React To...

When They Cry

Reacting with only seconds to spare you ran and caught her just in time. She looked at you with tears in her eyes. She threw her arms around you in a tight hug.

"Thank you (name)!"

Webber

The darkness in the realm was currently swallowing you and Webber.... Well, at least it seemed like it. You two were tasked with fetching some more food since the supply was running low. Neither of you noticed that the dark was coming until you needed to scramble to your backpack and pull a torch out.

If that wasn't bad enough you guys were having trouble navigating in A) The dark and B) In the unfamiliar area you were in. After about the 7th time you passed those same picked clean berry bushes Webber fell to his knees dramatically. He was tired, thirsty, and scared. It finally took a toll on the poor boy and he let out some tears.

You kneel down and hug him, "Shh, it's okay kiddo... We'll get back even if we have to wait until morning. Okay?"

He sniffled and nodded.

Wes

His silence was a curse to him at times, one of those times would be when he would try to get people to spend time with him. It wasn't because people didn't want to, it was more because they couldn't understand him. The effect of this was still the same, he would end up being lonely.

Wes was currently in front of Wilson making a bunch of gestures that made sense to him as a 'want to go get some tea from Wendy?'. That meaning was going over Wilson's supposedly smart head. He shook his head in response to Wes.

"I don't know what you're trying to tell me," Wilson said.

Wes just frowned and waved Wilson off. The scientist turned back to tending to repairs on his science machine. Wes turned on his heels and walked away somewhere too, ironically, be alone. He sat on the grass near a tree and put his knees up to his chest.

Just like any other part of him when he started crying it was silent and no one heard him. You didn't find out he was crying from hearing him though, you found out from just seeing him do it. When you saw him you immediately ran to his side.

"Wes? What's wrong?"

He looked up at you, he didn't make a gesture to try and explain things. He did, however, throw his arms around you and squeeze you in a tight hug. You hugged back making him feel happy again with your comfort.

Wigfrid

There was something confusing about her Valkyrie act. Not just the fact that she pretended to be a medieval warrior, but just... The reason why she was so committed to it was confusing. It wasn't really like you could get it out of her casually over a dinnertime chat. That wasn't what you were doing this time though, you were pretty much interrogating her.

"Why are you acting?"

"Just tell me?"

"Just fucking tell me!"

And that was just the nice version of how you were poking at her for answers. It eventually made her stop saying 'no' and take her hat off instead. Her back was facing you so you couldn't see her face, she sighed and turned to you. The last thing you expected to see was a tear in this tough warrior's eye.

"It's to mask a past pain by acting as something else that's stronger. Now don't poke for more answers, okay?"

You nodded. Wig put her helmet back on and, almost as if nothing happened, she sped off towards Wolfgang saying, "Strongman! Let's begin a hunt!"

Wickerbottom

You and she were just talking. Sometimes you would do that. You found the elderly woman and her stories from her long life interesting at times. She was going over a memory of one of her children. It wasn't a good memory though. Apparently, her oldest daughter went missing and was never found. Her recounting this memory brought a tear to the old woman's eye.

You frowned at this and sighed, "You don't have to talk about it any longer if you don't want,"

"Thanks dear.... I don't think I could bring up that memory any longer,"
