Snufkin Goes Bri ish

"Finally," Snufkin said out loud, relieved to be close to Moominvalley. "I'll be able to get there by che- I mean Tuesday."

This had been happening all winter. He just assumed that he got a weird accent from all of the places he's traveled to and that it would wear off after a week with his friends.

He sat on a river bank, taking out his fishing rod. 

"Heh, I would not mind some fish and chips right now..." he muttered to himself.

Tuesday came and he made it to his friends, his accent slightly more obvious but not enough that someone would notice much.

"Hello, Moomin!" Snufkin yelled as he finished his spring tune. 

"Snufkin!!" Moomin exclaimed, running over. "How was your trip? Tell me all about it!" 

Snufkin started telling Moomin all about his trip, commenting on his new accent at the end. "I'm not sure where I picked it up, but it'll probably go away soon." he said calmly.

"I didn't even notice to be honest." Moomin said, just to be polite.

Tuesday came and went, his accent only getting stronger. Snufkin was finding it harder to pronounce his T's and hesitated with his H's. He had also been exaggerating his O's. 

That morning, he visited moomin house since he didn't feel like making himself breakfast. "'Ello, Moominmumma." he said, still rubbing his eyes. 

"Oh, hello, Snufkin!" She replied happily. "I wasn't expecting you today, are you here for breakfast?"

"Yes, Oi am! If yew don't moind tha' is."

"I have to ask, Snufkin, why is your accent getting.. stronger..?"

"OI!! Yew don't see me askin' yew all these questions, mind ya business, yeah?" Snufkin answered angrily.

"Oh, dear, I'm so sorry, Snufkin!" Moominmamma said, flushed.

"It's awrite. We all make mistakes sometimes, yeah?"

That moment, perfectly timed to end the awkwardness of the interaction, Moomin walked in to greet his mom. "Oh, Snufkin!" he exclaimed cheerfully.

"'Ello, Moomentroll."

after about a month, Snufkin was an unstoppable Brit. The valley feared him, the animals feared him, he was alone in this world as he traveled yelling swears and exaggerating certain letters. Not even Moomin hung out with him anymore.

he was alone in this world and he respected that.
