a sphinx girl who’s absolute balls at riddles but fucking loves terrible puns

a traveler is blocked by a sphinx suddenly while going along a path. “what do bees brush their hair with?” she asks, and he’s FREAKING OUT, he’s going to get fucking eaten, didn’t the sphinx DIE, oh god what was the riddle, he knows this one oh shit he knows this one what was it, oh fuck, what the fuck

“m…man?”

the sphinx narrows her eyes and bares her teeth a little. oh shit, the traveler thinks, oh shit he’s fucking dead.

the sphinx grins like a goddamn doofus and struggles to hold back laughter as she answers “a honeycomb”
