"keep an eye on him just long enough to stab his organs please" At no point do the hands remove themselves from Miri's face. She's absolutely mortified and sounds like she expects to wither and die right on this video call. Garrot, on the other hand, is still laughing, egged on by Matilda's amusement. It's a hell of a lot better than the mood he caught her in, that's for damn sure.

"Waaaai-hahaha-ait, Miri, if she stabs me," Garrot snaps his fingers while hyperventilating, and suddenly there's a second Garrot standing in the video's frame. They're both struggling to repress their laughter, in complete and utter stereo sound. "...Then I can just stitch myself back together!" And then both bugbears are howling with laughter again, because they've foiled Miri's exasperated threat!

"if he wants to stab himself just to have his clone stitch him back together, you can kill him." Her lavender eyes peek out from behind her hands, just the faintest bit puffy. Was she laughing of crying?
