Let Me Out - NPC Grian (Angst)

NPC Grian is a new obsession of mine

This was inspired by multiple Ash Winters' videos and DoctorSiren's  Cabinet Man animatic on YouTube :)

Bless his little soul

('Father' is Grian)

Word Count: 429

His face held an expression that I could not understand. His eyes were narrowed, and the corners of his mouth were turned downwards.

"Father, what expression does your face hold?"

He let out a breath that made a kind of 'huff' noise, and his eyes narrowed further.

"Firstly, I am not your father. And the expression is annoyance."

"An-noy-ance."

I liked that word.

"Annoyance!"

Father rolled his eyes. "That you are,"

I blinked. "But what does it mean, Father?"

"If I tell you, will you shut up?"

I nodded. I did not know what 'shut up' meant.

"It's when someone or something makes you feel irritated or angry, often something that is repeated frequently."

"Like when you never build rustic houses with me?"

"Yeah, I guess so. Or when you keep asking questions."

I nodded in a way that I hoped looked wise. Father did not say anything more for a while as we walked, his grip on my arm really quite tight, but I was sure that it was a sign of affection. I said nothing either. I was busy repeating the new words I had learnt inside my head.

"Here we are,"

I realised that we had stopped walking, and we were standing in front of a wooden door. He opened it and gestured inside, which was a small space that looked only just big enough to fit a small person in.

"In you get, NPC."

I blinked at him. "What do you mean, Father?"

For a second he looked even more 'annoyed', but then he smiled. I don't think I had ever seen Father smile before. It was nice.

"I said, in you get! Looks nice and cozy, doesn't it? A bit rustic, wouldn't you say?"

I gasped excitedly. I bent down and poked my head through the door. "How do I-?"

A rough hand pushed me to my knees. I sat cross-legged on the floor and looked up at the smiling face. I did not like the smile anymore.

"See? It's comfy, isn't it?"

I glanced around the enclosed space.

"Not really. I'd quite like to come out now."

But the door was already closing. "No, you can't come out yet! You haven't even given it a chance!"

Clink went the door as it shut, followed by a sort of metallic sliding sound, leaving me in complete darkness.

"Father?" I put my hand against the door. "Father!"

There was no response.

I banged a fist against it. "Father!"

Again, nothing.

I sat back.

Oh.

Well...

I'm sure he'll come back soon.

Right?

Haha nope
