Kind Hearted (Tari x Male Reader)

Lost Duck

Tari got done taking a shower, after she got done, she got dressed again and went out to explain to everyone what happened, putting on a brave face.

Tari: Hey.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and listened up.

Y/N: Okay..she's here everyone, pay attention. Tari, the stage is yours now.

Beta: What stage? I don't see one-

Y/N: It's just a saying..

Tari: Thanks Y/N..

She looked around, feeling nervous, until she looked at you, you signaled her to take a deep breath and let it out. She smiled a bit and did so, after exhaling, she explained her story.

Tari: So I recently got myself into..some loan shark business..these people who I work for..said they had my ducky, Archibald..they said they would give him back to me as long as I brought them metal..that's why I've been going around looking for anything metal..

Mario: Oh..so thats what happened to Mario's pingas scratcher-

Tari: Wait that was a..you know what scratcher?..

Mario nodded stupidly.

Mario: Yup!

Tari: Ewwwww!!

She wiped her hands off on her jacket.

Beta: That's just wrong dude..in so many ways..

Meggy: Ugh..Red..

SMG4: I mean. I have one too-

Skully: No one should, Tari, Continue.

Tari: Right..

She continued her explanation, saying that she's basically being blackmailed by these assholes, as they're running a the same scam on other residents of the mushroom kingdom, and if you don't abide, they'll find you and you will be assassinated.

Tari: Now I'm starting to think that they don't even have Archibald..

Beta: No shit.

Y/N: I'm sure it's around here somewhere, we'll find it.

Tari smiled.

Tari: Thank you Y/N, you're a good friend, you know that?

Everyone adored yours and Tari's relationship, all but one. But other than that, they think you two are very good with eachother.

Y/N: Of course I do silly.

Beta rolled his eyes.

Beta: So..the duck?.

Tari: Right! It's in the arena!

Y/N: Alright, I can go find it.

Tari: A-Are you sure?..

Y/N: One hundred percent. You sit tight while I go.

Meggy: You need help?

Y/N: I'm ok, I think I learned my way around the place.

Meggy: Alright, just be careful.

You nod and leave to go to Inkopolis, in search of the  duck. Everyone else sat there, waiting, but Beta thought otherwise..

He followed you.

———

You arrived in Inkopolis, while exploring the arena, you find nothing but some dust and some old ink puddles.

Y/N: Hmm. If I were a duck, where would I hide?..

You continue to search the area, trying to find it. But to no avail.
