the next morning, Grimmus got out of his bed and went up to Hornsy's place for some breakfast
Grimmus: Yo anything up for munch today?
Hornsy: we were going to have an omelette, but we got no eggs
Grimmus: I can help you get some
Hornsy: sure, would help a lot
They then set out with a packbull and some supplies
Grimmus: so...where we going?
Hornsy: well its either the crater, gut, or vain
Grimmus: I checked the map and 2 out of 3 of those places are uninhabited and dangerous...apart from vain
hornsy: well were getting them from the source
Grimmus: well that sounds easy
Hornsy: hmph, *walks onward towards vain* overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer my friend
Grimmus then catches up and both arrive in vain
Hornsy: alright, u know what a beakthing is?
Grimmus: umm...no what are they
Hornsy: those long-necked things, their eggs are our target
Grimmus: those things?!
Hornsy: there fast as fuck so let me draw them away as you head into their nest and take the eggs
Hornsy then sneaks up on a nearby nest
Grimmus: well this is going to go so wrong
From out behind a bush Hornsy jumps out and throws a rock straight into the eye of an elder beakthing
Hornsy: OY DIPSHITS, COME AT ME!!!
The long-necked bastards turned their heads towards Hornsy and charged him. Hornsy on the other hand, lead them away, dodging and ducking past them going around in circles and jumping on their backs. Grimmus meanwhile, has snuck into their nest and is packing up eggs into the pack bull when a small juvenile noticed and charged him, tackling him to the ground and tried slamming his head down but missed. Grimmus countered by grabbing its neck and pinning it to the ground bashing its head open with a nearby rock and grabbed the rest and hightailed it out of there
Grimmus: NIGERUNDIO!!!!!!!!!!
When he got clear hornsy ran after him and they both met back up it the north gate
Grimmus: well...that...that was...great
Hornsy: you alright?
Grimmus: just...just let me catch...my breath
Hornsy: lazy ass
Grimmus: up...yours...horny
Hornsy: it's hornsy dumbass
He then lightly elbows grimmus in the arm. They then went back inside chuckling amongst each other
Ruka: took you long enough
Hornsy: sorry about that, Grimmus had to chokehold a young beakthing and bash its head open
Savant: shit that's awsome
Grimmus: thanks, was a pain in the ass but I wrecked him
Burn: let's see how many you got
In total, Grimmus has gathered at least 20 eggs and some beakthing meat
Burn: shit, how many eggs were in that nest?!
Hornsy: a decent amount, it was a large pack to be completely honest
Sometime later, a woman with medium white and silver eyes came in with a lovely sun umbrella
Hornsy: hey mum
Kylie: oh my little man, how was the trip up to worlds end?
Hornsy: it was nice, I made a new friend up there, this is Grimmus
Grimmus: hey
Kylie looked at the hooded individual for a moment, noticing his black skin and red eyes
Kylie: well, I'm glad my little man is making more and more friends
Grimmus: well I'm glad as well *in his head* huh, silver eyes, really should be careful around her
Kylie: so, shall we get on with some cooking?
Burn: Good idea, I'll show you to the kitchen
The both of them then went off upstairs to the 2nd floor with the eggs to prepare for tonight's dinner
Grimmus: your mothers' rather nice
Hornsy: yeah, but she can get a bit embarrassing
Kylie: oh hornsy, could you give me a hand
Hornsy: sure thing
He then went up and gave her a hand. That evening everyone sat around the table and ate kylie's delicious quiche while listening to her embarrassing stories about Hornsy to the rest of the group with him dying from embarrassment. Grimmus also told them of his journey up to world's end from Flats lagoon and meeting up with a hiver called Neal
Ruka: so that was you who did that?
Grimmus: yep, nobody saw me do it so I'm in the clear and that explosion was sick
After dinner was had, they remained sat around the table with burn washing dishes and Kylie berating Bonesy for chopping his brother's legs off, to which they both had to explain that it was Hornsy's idea and that Dr Chung and Izumi were the ones who cut his legs off
Kylie: well if it helped you to get there then it's alright, but I still don't condone such a thing
Hornsy: sorry...
Kylie: well it looks like it's already that time, I should be going
Hornsy: wait, why not stay the night and leave tomorrow
Kylie: aww, you don't want your mother to leave you alone? Aww that sweet
Hornsy: I-it's not that, I'm just worried you might get jumped on the way back by bandits or worse
She then put her hand on her son's shoulder
Kylie: if you're worried then I'll stay here for the night
Hornsy: thanks
And with that, Hornsy prepared his bed for his mother while he sleeps over at Grimmus's place. The next day he gets Bonesy and grug the gorillo to give her a ride back
