[I mean he was going to just have a single can but this is funnier. He has four of them.]

It is none of your concern. What did you need to tell me?

[third_alternative]

Well, now it's plenty of my concern. What do you need so many beans for?

[winebar]

....

To feed the creature that has come to be my responsibility. It seems to prefer baked beans, so I thought to stock up.

The...what now?

Do you mean your soul creature thing? Cuz I'm pretty sure they just like, share your stomach somehow. You don't have to get it its own beans.

[winebar]

No, I do not mean Adelheid.
[She emerges from his collar in her harvestman form.]

It is a living treasure chest.

[third_alternative]

A...living treasure chest.

Where the heck did you get a pet treasure chest that only eats beans?

[winebar]

We found it while searching for treasure in Krankaz. It eats other things besides beans.

[third_alternative]

Oh. Why are you only giving it beans, then?

What's it even do, that makes it all alive and stuff?

[winebar]

It vibrates the most when I feed it baked beans so I think it either hates them or they are its favorite.
[Apparently either option works for him.]

It can move around and it has a tongue and teeth.

[third_alternative]

So you just...have a pet piece of furniture now?

...y'know, I didn't take you for such a softie.

[winebar]

[Van Zieks closes his fucking eyes because he can't argue this apparently.]

It's not as if it requires much upkeep.

[third_alternative]

Aside from foraging for beans.

So, what'd you name it?

[winebar]

I have not named it.

[third_alternative]

What? Come on, man, that's like rule numero uno for owning pets--ya gotta name them!

[winebar]

It's not my pet. it simply lives in my room.

[third_alternative]

Uh-huh. That's what they all say.

So, I'm thinking...Toothy? Trunky? Come on, you know this thing better than I do.
