I will get on my hands and knees and BEG for Booker x Grumley domestic fluff, please, I beg, I NEED more Uprooted content, especially Booker x Grumley!!
"Oh, wow." Grumley looks around their shared cells. "This is the nicest jail we've ever ended up in!"
"Is that a pillow mint?" Booker picks it up and gives it a cautious sniff. "How high are the taxes on these poor bastards? Well, at least it's going to making our stay comfortable."
Booker is inspecting the cell for weak points when he hears Grumley whimper. He turns around to see Grumley trying, in vain, to scratch behind his own ears.
"Whattya doin'? Come here, come here." Booker waves Grumley over and scratches the itch for him, leaving Grumley to sigh in relief. "You know that can't reach that spot."
"You were planning our great escape! I didn't want to bother you!"
"Okay first off, maybe say that first part a little quieter next time. Second, since when does planning something come before making sure you're all set? I'm not the one who volunteers you for kidney puncturing for plans."
"That's true." Grumley points behind his other ear, and Booker switches his focus there. "I'm sorry I couldn't fight off the guards."
"There were like, a hundred of them! You're one pug! If anything Peggy should've used her magic again!"
"The clown mask, right? Not the bottle with the fire?"
"Never again the bottle with the fire, I'm never getting those images out of my head as it is. My point is you're strong and you're brave but you're not our only option for intimidation so don't blame yourself for stuff that can't be helped. Hey, sometimes a con just goes wrong!"
"Thanks, Booker."
"Anytime, Grumley."
"... Can we have a little kiss? They cleaned my face folds before they tossed us in here."
"What is this jail, a spa? Alright, one little kiss then I have to get back to work."
"Okay!"
It's a quick, soft smooch, and it leaves Grumley contentedly laying on his belly on the floor watching Booker with his tail wagging as Booker, blushing, keeps trying to figure a way out of this one.

Obsessed with the idea that, in Uprooted episode 4, Grumley was just fighting the queen bee with Bitsy strapped to his back. A little too tightly so she couldn't really do much.
