"Yeah. I guess I will." Joel gave Pearl a tight smile before conjuring some fire in the fireplace that was located in the corner. It lit up the small room and provided more warmth. He gave her one last look before clearing his throat and tilted his head back.

"Well then," he began, turning around, "I'll see you later. Goodnight."

-If she had already been acquainted with him she would've said something annoying like she had Scott, but instead she opted for simply knocking this time around.-

Mr. Joelll, are you in there?

-Pearlo

Joel was arm deep in his cauldron when he heard the knocking at his door. He jolted and frowned when the potion from the cauldron sprayed everywhere. "Give me a moment!" he called out, grabbing a nearby towel and wiping his arms off and snapping his fingers to get rid of all the excess liquid spewed about.

Joel hadn't heard that voice before but maybe it was just a customer who came to see him in person. He brushed off his robes and walked to the door before pulling it open. He looked up at Pearl and offered her a smile. "I haven't seen you before! What can I do for you?"

[joeltallishbean]

"Well, when people venture this far out just to see me," he begins, laughing softly, "I can't exactly say no, can I? You seem like you need someplace to stay and I wouldn't mind some company. I... Uhm. It gets lonely out here. I don't get a lot of visitors."

Joel watched as Tilly hopped onto the bed beside Pearl and nuzzled into her. He smiled and nodded his head as if he just confirmed something. "Besides, you don't seem like you plan on butchering me up in the middle of the night."

"Ah, really?" he asked, shutting the door behind her after taking a glance around outside — he hoped nothing had followed her. He locked the door and waved his hand to produce tiny orbs of lights which flitted around the cabin. He walked over to the table and began to organize his things.

At the mention of Scott he froze. "Did he?" Joel sounded confused. It hadn't been too long since they last crossed paths, but it wasn't... Friendly. None of their recent meetings ever were. He frowned, his brow furrowing. "I see. Well. Thank you."

Joel seemed to pause and stew in that information for a few moments before he nodded his head towards the stairs leading downward. He led her into the basement, the floating lights seemed to follow him wherever he went.

Joel gestured to a bed and looked back toward her. "It's not the comfiest, but I hope it'll be alright for now." He looked at Tilly and raised an eyebrow. "As for your dog, I hope you won't mind sharing a bed with it."

Joel was confused, to say the least. Most who came this far out were insane, customers, or a certain knight he didn't want to even think about right now. They were never someone wanting to be his new best friend, especially not with the whole debacle that came from the kingdom. (Most who came to buy from him tended to do so to avoid being seen with him.)

"Yes, well... Ahem." This person didn't seem too intimidating. Perhaps they just needed a place to rest. "Do come in." He stepped to the side. "It's a mess and maybe a bit too small for the both of us, but I'm sure we can make it work for now. Why haven't you gone to the kingdom? Surely they'd have a nice big place for you."

"Nothing more and nothing less." Joel patted Etho on the back. It stung to say. He practically had to force the words out of his mouth. It didn't feel right. That they were just friends. That whatever they had together was just friendship.

Today wasn't the day to confront that. He gave Etho a smile. Joel would just talk to Lizzie about it at some point, ask her if what he was feeling was normal — and probably face her teasing for hours — and come to a conclusion.

"Let's just forget it, yeah? Talk about something else."

-It was evening, about five minutes before the official closing time of the shop. Etho walks in the door and the little bell rings signaling the entry.-

-They look around for a moment for any sign of Joel or Tubbo, expecting Joel since Tubbo was likely still..traumatized? Or at least given a day off, maybe grounded. In any case they spotted him cleaning table and getting ready to close up.-

Hey..you got time for one more order? - @ethoslabdoesthings

Joel had been cleaning up a table, zoning out as he did so. The repetitive act of scrubbing at the table had lulled his mind into a momentary state of calm. That was until he heard the familiar sound of the bell ringing, signaling the sign of someone entering the cafe.

Joel suppressed a sigh. The place was empty and he was closing. Who in their right mind would come in right now? He opened his mouth to greet them before promptly closing it when he suddenly heard their voice, recognizing it immediately. A smile spread across Joel's face.

That was a voice he loved. A face he loved. "Etho. Here you are again." Joel adjusts the apron around his waist before waving his friend over. "I've always got time for you. You know that. This late though? You should have come sooner."

[joeltallishbean]

Maybe you and Lizzie should have a tracking chip placed on tubbo for a while

Mmm. Maybe talk to my wife about that.

[joeltallishbean]

Lamb is so grounded.

Oh. He is

[joeltallishbean]

Not right. Joel froze. A cloudy look overtook his expression. He knew it wasn't. He knew he should be happy that Etho shared the sentiment, but he wanted to grab them by the front of their jacket and shake them back and forth — driving out any idea that it wasn't right out of their head.

Joel didn't do that though. He stood still, tilting his head to the side. He huffed, a sound he meant to be a laugh, before slowly shaking his head. "Nope," he said, popping the "p" sound. "It wouldn't be right. Anyway. Just drop it. Don't worry. We're still friends, yeah?"

Joel was still pretty hung up on the whole "kidnapped" thing. Joel felt a protective surge. He crossed his arms over his face, looking between the two of them. He frowned, his brow furrowed. He reached out to rub at his horns again.

"I'm sorry, bud," he grumbles. He'd have a conversation with Tubbo later about his punishment for all of that, but for now, his son needed some comforting. "I'm sure Lizzie will... Figure something out. Maybe."

Tubbo walked in looking disheveled and there was something on his horns and in his hair that seemed unnatural (probably something lizzie will have a fit over). He however had a big smile as he ran and hugged joel. It wasn't an often occurance that the little guy hugged joel.

@ask-tubbo-bee

Joel stumbled back a bit before enveloping Tubbo in a tight hug, clinging to him as if he couldn't believe his boy was back. "Tubbo..." he mumbled before pulling back, looking the kid up and down. He raised an eyebrow.

"What happened to..." he trailed off before sighing. He pulled a towel out of his pocket and tried to clean Tubbo up. "Are you okay? Me and your mother have been worried sick."

[joeltallishbean]

Joel looked at his now clean hands, letting out a long sigh of relief. He didn't like how the goop had felt on his skin. He mumbled a quick "thank you" before placing his hands on his hips. At the sound of Tubbo's rambling, Joel turned to face him.

"I'm sorry. What?" Joel was appalled by what he was hearing. Tubbo was kidnapped? "Hold on. You were kidnapped? Tubbo. What... You can't just skip past that. What do you mean you were kidnapped?"
