The air was still, and at first Tommy couldn't feel much.

Physically he could of course, but who wouldn't after a beating like that? He slowly stood wincing at the new bruises he was sure would form. He made his way towards Ghostburs shack, since he didn't see any point in heading to Tnret. Maybe some time with Henry would do him some good.

Not to mention that it would keep his mind off of Dreams' bitchy self. Although he may have deserved it this time he'd still stand by that fact. He stumbled in a bumpy patch of grass causing him to step with his foot wrong. Landing painfully on the side of his foot.

He winced in pain. "Ah fuckin' hell man..hate when that happens.."

He slumped down by the log circled entrance, and cursed his luck. He muttered under his breath to himself wallowing in his self pity for only a moment. It was totally only for a moment. He stood up once again groaning in annoyance at the pain it brought. He continued his lousy shuffling once again, not noticing the hesitant rustle behind him.

Once the red fur of Henry was in his sight he rushed over. He didn't exactly appreciate the pain moving caused him, but he'd be able to do nothing soon enough. An evening alone with Henry..it seemed to be getting common lately.

He sat down next to the red mushroom cow, and leaned against him. Henry stayed still, tail flicking calmly. It only took a moment before Tommy broke out into chatter. Recently it'd been filling in an empty hole in his chest.

" You know nothing excitings been happening here, and other than Dream no one's really around now.." He paused, and a disappointed expression showed. " There's no one around for miles... other than mobs of course." He broke out into a grimace, " Which are bastards to get rid of now, fuckin Dream and his bastardly ways. The next time he comes here acting like he owns the place I'm telling him to piss off..."

Before he could think any longer he heard a faint rustle to the side of Ghostburs shack. The weeds and long grass were ridiculously long, so he couldn't see anything. He figured he should check on it. You know make sure there's no one looking to break into Ghostburs shack. The chances of that happening though we're extremely low, so extremely low he didn't see the point in leaving his comfy spot next to Henry.

Brushing off the sound as a wild animal of sorts he turned back to Henry, the chances of anyone being here were low. Plus if any of his friends were here they'd greet him...probably.

He continued his chatter where he left off, and only twitched at the strange rustles of grass. It was probably just the wind being an ass. He didn't appreciate it of course.

He could only lie to himself for so long though,especially when the footsteps sounded more and more like a person the closer they got. He suddenly stood cutting off the rather bland conversation with Henry.

He turned around clenching his fists in annoyance. He yelled out to the person rude enough to mess with him, while surveying the area for any movement.

" Whoever the fuck is here, show yourself you bitch!" His voice wobbled at the end slightly hinting towards his hidden fear. He grimaced at the tell. He was about to make another insulting comment when there was a loud rustle in the grass near him.

Before he could even move, a scrappy lookin' kid popped out of the grass.

"...Who- the hell are you?" All aggression from before leaked out of his voice, and all that was left was pure confusion.

The boy in the bag fiddled with his hands before speaking in a soft voice, " Uhm.. I'm Mono."

"..Mono? Haven't heard of you before..." Tommy paused before he continued curiously, " How'd you get here? Dream says- said there'd be no one around."
