The First Pun
(( a small little one-shot between Tey’api ( @the-might-of-shirvallah​) and Jazali meeting up in Orgrimmar that’s just full of silliness and puns, so probably dont need to read xD))
Jazali put her hands over Tey’api’s eyes with a grin and snickered “Guess who it be!” Tey’api’s brows lifted in surprise and her eyes widened beneath Jazali’s hands in thought.
She pursed her lips “Na’ Kazju’zo. Jazali!”
The troll in question booped Tey’s nose and laughed “Yee, ya got it!” She walked over and plonked herself beside Tey with a curious glance to the floppy hat atop her head “I almos’ didn’ recognise ya from dat ting on ya head!”
Tey’api wiggled herself to face Jazali better “‘s a hat! Kazju’zo got it fo’ me. ‘E didn’ say where ‘e got it, but I love it!” She beamed as she took it off, letting her muss of black dreadlocks fall free.
Jazali grinned and snickered as she leaned back with both her hands behind her “It suits ya!”
The little troll curiously looked around as she asked “Where be da Bear mon? ‘E usually be wid ya..”
Tey’api nodded firmly “‘E doesn’ do well in cities, what wit’ all t’e noise. I wanted to come get supplies an’ stuff, since we comin’ wit’ joo’ all. New clothes, an’ I wanted ta get somet’ing made for him.” The black-haired troll leaned closer to Jaz and stage-whispered “A present.” She straightened up and smiled.
Jazali hummed curiously and shrugged as she looked out over the water with a sheepish chuckle “Yeh, I don’ blame ‘im, I don’ usually come ‘ere unless it be fo’ mah lettahs. I be sure he’ll love ya present.” The little troll suddenly snickered and nudged Tey’s side “Ju probableh can git ya bear mate some fish an’ he’ll be happy.”
Tey’api, not really noticing the last comment, nodded thoughtfully “I hope so. It don’ feel enough to just keep sayin’ thanks to ‘im. ‘E found me an’ saved me, ja’ know. I was bein’ chased b-”
She cut herself off and her eyes widened as she finally let the last statement sink in, making her stutter “Oh! ‘E’s n-not- I mean, ‘e could be- I mean, I’d LIKE for ‘im t- I mean…”Jazali froze and leaned back a bit at Tey’api’s sudden stammer, however nodded a bit at the confused garble of words that she barely strung together.
Tey finally facepalmed, making her silverwear jingle as she groaned “We’re...uh, n-na’ together.”
“Oh! Jus’ t’ought dat from ‘ow close ju two were dat…” Jazali cut herself off with a ‘bah!’ and waved a hand sheepishly as she chuckled “Heh uh, mah bad den.”
“It’s not ja’ fault.” Tey’api shook her head with a small smile. There was an awkward silence between the two before Jaz couldn’t help herself and asked curiously with a raised brow “...but Silvah ladeh want Bear mate?” Tey’api grinned shyly “I like ‘im in dat way. We just haven’t...well, talked much on it. ‘E’s really great. ‘E understands t’at I’m not super strong. ‘E settles wit’ me through my seizes. An’ ‘e thinks I’m funny like I t’ink ‘e is.”
Jazali hummed and looked out over the water with a dry smirk “Dat soun’ nice..” and familiar, but Jaz wasn’t going to open up THAT can of worms. She however did pause for a moment and give Tey a confused glance as she tilted her head “...Ya sneezes? Why da mon gotta go through ya sneezes?”
Tey’api blinked, before she shook her head “Oh, ah, no. Seizes. I kinda...Ja’ know, my goes into seizin’ fits.”
Jazali nodded slowly and pursed her lips as she tried to remember...she had definitely heard that term before, mostly for the village elders in her hometown or for people who were accused of being possessed by the loa. Was Tey a possessed Loa?
The little troll hummed as she warily glanced at Tey “Jaz...kinda know what ya mean?-” she shrugged and glanced over the water “-Be nice o’ Bear mon ta do dat tho..”
Tey’api nodded and stretched her legs out with a sigh “It’s been a problem since I was li’l.” She however put her hat back atop her head proudly “E’s nice. I know ‘e’s a li’l, uh, rough around t’’e edges. He’s just gotta get used to ja’ is all!”
Jazali snickered and rolled her eyes upward as she sighed “Oh yeh, Jaz know plenty ‘bout gettin’ used ta big bears..” She scratched the back of her head and grinned as if laughing at an inside joke that may have been about a big tree.
Her grin suddenly turned wider as she whirled her head to Tey “Ya wondah if ‘e be inta puns?”
Tey’api blinked a few times before looking a bit ashamed. “Puns?” She inquired hoarsely, not knowing what they were “I t’ink I’ve ‘eard my twin Mitz’on speak of dem. Like, once.”
Jazali’s smile turned into a full beam as she nodded her head excitedly “Yeh, puns! Y’know! Like uh...um um um!” The little troll patted her head with both hands as she clenched her eyes hard, trying to think of a really good one for Tey; after all, this would be the troll’s first time hearing a pun!
Jazali’s eyes shot open before she snapped her fingers and shouted “I gots it!”
Tey’api jolted a bit, but leaned forward curiously “I’m listenin’.”
Jazali cleared her throat loudly before she asked cheekily “What do Grizzlies say when dey get angry fo’ revenge?” Tey’api blinked “I don’ know. What do t’ey say?”
Jazali bounced excitedly before she deepend her voice to a silly level and growled out loudly “WHEN I FIND YA, DA CONSEQUENCES WILL BE...UNBEARBLE!” And just like that, the little troll broke down into snickers as she nearly fell over backwards. Tey’api blinked a few times, leaning back a bit before she finally got the joke.
“T’at is t’e… BEST t’ing I ‘ave ever ‘eard!” Tey’api laughed along with the little Darkspear.
Jazali had to take heaving breaths to calm down as she wiped a tear from her eye proudly. Ah yes, the first time is always the most beautiful. But the little troll was far from over. Her ears happily perked up again as she eagerly nudged Tey with her elbow and asked with a bright grin “ ‘Ey ey Tey!”
Tey’api tried to still her giggled, ears perking in turn “What is it Jaz?” She asked gleefully.
The Darkspear barely held in her snickering as she snorted out “Hehe..b..BEAR wid me, dis pun is pretty good HAHA!”
Tey’api snorted loudly and bursted into another fit of giggles, holding her stomache as she howled with laughter “A-anyone who doesn’ like puns is.. unBEARable! Did I do it right?!”
Jazali nearly fell as she roared with laughter and suddenly hugged Tey’api tightly to her side while chortling “YES oh my loa dat was perfect! I be so proud, ya firs’ pun!”
Tey’api wrapped an arm around Jaz in turn for the hug “Oh I like puns! I love puns! I gotta share dem wit’ Kaz!” She sat utterly still for a moment before giggling “I could BEARly hold down my own laughtah!”
The poor Darkspear now couldn’t stop chortling as she hugged Tey tighter “Ju be amazin’ Tey hehehe…” Jazali wiped another tear from her eye as she snorted “If Bear mon don’ like deez, den ‘e jus’ be salty like Bru..”
Tey’api waved a hand dismissively “Oh, I’m sure ‘e’ll like dem. I taught ‘im ‘Tag’ yesterday!”
Jazali blinked as suddenly a very genius idea came into her mind that made her smirk very widely, a smirk that only promised mischief “Oh...By da way… ju ‘oughta tell Bru a pun. ‘E realleh loves ‘em.”
Tey’api lifted a brow but nodded with a smile “Oh! Sure! I’ll figure some good ones out!”
Jazali snickered mischieviously to herself as she finally let Tey go with a wink “But ju no hear dat from me okee?”
Tey’api nodded eagerly “A’ight! I share all de puns!”
