"Sausage! My sweet prince!"
Sausage was busy in the lumber mill when a strange little man in a floral shirt came running up to him. He was tired; he had a long list of orders he needed to get out, and he had just dropped of Hermes at Joel's place. All he really wanted to do was collapse into bed, although with his nightmares at the moment, he doubted he would be getting any sleep.
"Uh, hello? Welcome to Sanctuary. "
Sausage blinked, and suddenly the blonde was on top of him; smothering him in a hug. Now, Sausage was no stranger to hugs, he loved them in fact. He always made sure to greet everybody he knew with hugs, and he was prone to tackle Gem whenever he saw the princess. But this was getting weird. He had no idea who this man was, but he was greeting Sausage as if they were best friends. He was holding onto him tightly, and Sausage felt himself becoming claustrophobic in such close proximity to a stranger. He gently patted the man on the shoulder, before he extracted himself from his embrace.
"I cannot believe it!" The man exclaimed, smiling at Sausage. "Last I saw you, you were asleep up in heaven! Pearl wouldn't let me disturb you, how rude. That was awfully lazy of you, by the way. It had been months after I sent you off to the sky, quite the beautiful send off I might add. Were you asleep the whole time?"
Sausage blinked, not even trying to hold back his confusion. Heaven? He wishes he was asleep right now. And who the hell was Pearl?
"You wouldn't believe the time I've been having. Landing in on my own private server, narrowly escaping death several times. I even tried speed running!" The man was pacing now, dramatically throwing his hands up in the air every now and then, and using them to emphasize his words. "Oh, and I even beat the ender dragon! I've got the egg right here!"
The man looked at Sausage proudly as he held out the egg for him to see. "Wait," Sausage began, "that was you?"
"Of course! Don't be such a silly goose. Damn, I have so much to tell you. I thought I would never see you again! Gem doesn't even remember me, and there's new structures all over my server that I definitely didn't build. Oh, and there was this dog-"
"Look, I'm sorry," Sausage interrupted before the man could carry on, "but who are you? You seem to know me, but I don't even know your name."
A dejected look befalls the man's face, and Sausage almost regrets speaking. The man sighed.
"Goddammit. Not you too. Oh well. At least you're not asking me to be your bard."
Sausage could use a bard in his empire, but he refrained from mentioning that. Instead, despite his exhaustion, and the ever-growing list of work he had to do, he looked down at the man and smiled.
"Why don't we go and grab a bite to eat, and we can talk some more, figure out was is going on. My friend Eddie makes the best tacos in the whole of Sanctuary!"
The man's face immediately lit up again, and he jumped as he replied to Sausage. "Oh thank Pearl. I’m starving. At least food is still your answer to everything."
Sausage shook his head, but didn't bother fighting the smile that was making its way onto his face. He started walking, directing the man the Eddie's blacksmith. The man, despite his strange words, seemed relatively harmless. And who was Sausage to turn someone away from Sanctuary? “Oh, and you still haven’t told me your name.”
“It’s Oli!”
