Gold and dragon feathers

Ring by ring

Tubbo looks to Tommy to make sure he recognizes the voice too, eyes wide in surprise. Bright blue reflects the same shock he feels he must be radiating so at least he's not crazy.

He tears his eyes from the enderman hybrid and rushes to the doorway with Tommy short behind .Ranboo is standing in dumbfounded shock and Tubbo can't help but feel the same. He had recognized the voice but he didn't expect one of the most famous hybrids in the country to ACTUALLY be at his door.

Eret is a salamander hybrid who serves to only as the main announcer for dragon competitions but also a model in in one case the ambassador while the actual ambassador recovered from an injury.

She looks so out of place in the mostly abandoned Snowchester neighborhood. He's also normally in gowns and suits fit for royalty so the simple white t-shirt and black dress pants seems out of place. The only thing that seems normal about their whole deal is the signature dark sunglasses.

"Uh. Hi mr. Eret!"

Tubbo's ears keel back in a silent facepalm.

"Hello! I assume you're Tubbo?"

".... Yeah?"

"Wonderful!"

Eret smiles, waving him over with one of his hands.

"Come on then, we have much to discuss and I saw a lovely bakery on my way in."

Tubbo hesitates, looking back at the housemates standing awkwardly in the doorway.

"Uh"

Instead of asking what they're here for or if the endermen hybrid's could come his mouth decides to be stupid. Luckily the dumb response seems to have done the job anyway, Eret opens her mouth in a 'o' as they seem to realize what must be going on inside of the teen's heads.

"Ah, apologies. I've apparently gotten far too used to just speaking with my colleagues. "

He laughs somewhat awkwardly, running a hand through his hair and exposing pale gills for a second before he seems to almost reboot.

" I'm Eret, any pronouns."

It suddenly sounds a lot less like business and a lot more like meeting a new neighbor (not that Tubbo's ever had neighbors).

" Tubbo, he/him and these are my housemates Tommy and Ranboo he/him"

He internally cringes at how rehearsed and swallow it sounds, he's talking to a celebrity who came to see him for god knows why and he can't even say his own name in a normal fashion.

The man in question seems unphased as he adjusts her footing to something more comfortable.

"I've come with an offer my colleagues wanted to give you, would the three of you want to discuss it in the bakery?"

"Sure?"

He glances back at Tommy and Ranboo who shrug, just as confused as him but likely just as curious.

"Alright, are you free now or should we schedule?"

"We're free"

Tubbo relaxes slightly, glad Tommy decided to say something since he's been doing a pretty bad job through all the confusion before.

" Let's head out then, shall we?"

Tubbo nods meekly and Eret turns to go to town, revealing a semi-transparent tail. Tubbo just takes a deep breath and grabs hold of the enderman hybrids' hands.

They follow in silence, other than answering a few questions about Snowchester from Eret.  Tubbo feels a wave of relief when he sees the familiar honey colored wood of the bakery's exterior but even once they've sat down silence stretches between them.
