Understandable. I’ll leave these here, then.
(The Merchant drops off their gifts - a set of padded wooden forearm crutches, and a large bag of dog food for Darkclaw with a note on it that reads “DG, do not eat this. It’s for the dog.”)
Let me know if they don’t work well for you. I’ll find something else.
DG? I brought dog food for- oh, dear. What are you doing down there?
FLAT TIME.....
Please don’t eat that, DG. It’s technically safe, but I doubt it would be pleasant to you.

Unfortunately for this anon, I was informed by someone else. I’m here, DG. What do you need?
Don’t tell merchant anons, they’ve been bothered enough by Him enough as it is
I think he needs to deal with his own pain this time. There isn’t always gonna be someone there to help after all ((:
Y-YEAH..
From what I’ve heard, my friend, it seems this is the tone you use when you’re frightened, wary or in pain. And you rarely speak this way around me, so forgive me for doubting you when you tell me you’re fine.

…As you say.
Were the crutches any use to you? If they don’t fit or hurt to wear, I’d rather you tell me now than try to use them anyway and fall.

That’s good to hear.
You said the water fixed something about your voice, right? I’d be happy to make my way to Ensa’s keep and walk back to the shore with you. I tend to rely too much on teleportation anyway- if it weren’t for you, I’d hardly remember that I should actually use my legs on occasion.

You know I enjoy spending time with you.
(The merchant says this aloud, standing just out of sight now. They step forward into DG’s view.)
Shall we go?

(The merchant hovers next to DG, watching his walk to make sure he doesn’t fall as they make their way out)
As always, feel free to stop and rest on the way if you need to.

You’re doing well. I hadn’t expected you to recover so quickly, considering the extent of the harm that… Was done to you.
(The merchant sounds pleasantly surprised by this development, cautious of mentioning Alphonze directly. There’s no need to stress DG now, though the merchant does hope that someday, those two might work out a more healthy relationship.)

Overcast, (the merchant notes as he steps into the ocean.) We can stay out a little longer- ah, don’t take the crutches in with you, salt water will destroy them over time. If you leave them on the dock, that should be fine. I can keep an eye on them from here.

(The merchant starts to do the same, remembers the bottles in his pockets, and runs his hands over his cloak. They can’t sit without potentially damaging everything they took with him.)
(As every time before, the merchant stands in the ocean next to DG, acting as a brace so he doesn’t end up washed away by the waves.)
Any better?

(He’s still speaking that way… It’s a little worrying, but maybe he just hasn’t had enough time.)
I met Caspian yesterday; you may have some memory of him. He is kind, if a little overly curious, and I hope to meet him again.

Indeed.

It’s been a few hours now. Are you ready to head back, or shall we stay out a while longer?

Oh dear. You know, I would have thought we’d learned our lesson about trapping DG in boxes.
I must ask anons not to kidnap DG. It’s hardly polite.
*AAAAAAAAAAAAA*
^ what you hear muffled inside the box.
Yes, I know, I’m coming to get you out.
(The box is lifted, and the merchant carries it on his shoulder)
Alright? Got your cheese?

Well, you certainly seem fine. Are you? Do you need anything, or shall I be on my way?

I heard my name?
(The Merchant stands over DG, his cloak inexplicably covered in thorns.)
Your anons get more vague every time they send me here.
*Her buzzing shifts to be lower, calmer so as not to startle him, and she tries sticking a scale back on gently*
Bzzzz bzzz…. bzz bzz bzzzzz bzzz bzzz
[Translation: my friend… why would they do this..]

*DG would curl up in a ball being careful not to shake to much so he didn't disrupt Pancakes work.*
METMRCHANT WOULDN'T LET THIS HAPPEN..
