“Eh? Would that not mean that I am in some sort of debt to you?”
Stranger and stranger…why would he even offer his own money just to make sure he’d stay in check.
“I will hope so, it is your precious money being used.”
Having a somewhat looser leash would make things easier…
“Yes. That would be no problem though, I can pay for your first few rounds.”
It was not even an inconvenience to pay, he had more money than he ever needed anyway. The small fee wouldn’t even be an issue.
“If that will satisfy your need I will be less strict on your activities.
Bratty…yes. He was akin to a petulant child in terms of behavior when he didn’t have his way.
But his ears perk up, head tilting back. His curiosity was piqued by such an establishment.
“They truly have such things?”
Such a wonder…maybe these mortals were good to keep watch—
By this point, Zen was getting annoyed. It was like dealing with a bratty child and his patience was going to wear thin if something didn’t change this scenario. Change, yes Zen had to change his way of thinking. Intimidation would keep only Erebus’ hands off of humanity, not his
Relish in their life if I had something to break. Even their strange technology would suffice to tear apart.”
He was basically whining now. Just something to see broken by his hand would be enough at this point!
He…did not learn easily. If he had any knowledge of the one he had such uncanny similarities with, they were both stubborn to had heinous degree.
Ink toned lips purse to a scowl, nose scrunching in dissatisfaction.
“Not even to decimate a few cliffs? I could let these lives—
He must not learn, Zen thought to himself, refraining from saying it aloud as not to incite any more problems. Zen watches and listens, letting Erebus struggle to accept what had to be. He’d find no respite with Zen’s answer either.
“Not anywhere here.” Zen still didn’t even
Similar risks of this very scenario repeating.
This was not a thing he could win.
How dull!
“I am behaving, I merely do not enjoy having to be kept within such lines. These mortals will not see my bite.”
Huff,
Just be nice!
“Would you happen to know where I could let loose?”
Innocent…he kept mentioning the innocent. What made them so worthy of this protection?
They were all mortal, meant to die at some point or another.
“No thank you. I get enough of that already.”
Turning his head away, he was not keen to learn what Zen would consider fitting.—
“If you wish to harm and disturb innocent people, absolutely.”
So it was laid bare, now there truly was no leeway.
“If you do these things, I will enact a deserving punishment.”
A warning, delivered as a threat. It was unlike him but it was necessary.
His ears twitched, he did not want to leave yet…but needing to abide by all these rules and not slip up?
He reaaaaally didn’t want to get stuck in a fight, but this man was a persistent threat to his joy!
he could leave, but then he would need to find something else…with—
how…irritable.
“I am not sure what to feel about this. Trying to maintain these rules made by these mortals feels like a chore.”
Brows furrowing,
“The other Kai…is this why they do not deign to intermingle? Because of all these rules along with their own…”
He squints back at Zen, the hybrid trying to make sense of this logic.
he loathed that it made sense.
“But that would mean my desires are wrong.”
His nostrils flare, huffing again.
“And you are the chosen to punish those who do not follow these rules? Such chivalry…”
—
That right there is exactly why Zen is keeping him at arms length. Frustration, the aggressive intent. He can only be so amicable.
“You assume I am not aware that all follow the rules ignorantly instead of seeing that those same people are why I uphold them so firmly. There must
“Ughhhhhh…”
He was half tempted to bite, just let out a little frustration! Erebus bares his teeth at Zen briefly.
“You speak as if you know each and every one to maintain the same belief.”
A huff,
“I think it is a little too optimistic, no?”
“I have every reason to be wary. It is within my right to do so.”
He turns, facing his whole self to Erebus.
“I did not. The people of this world did. Unlike others they are just. It is only right to respect them.”
“Am I not doing this to you already? Yet you persist to maintain these rules.”
Arms crossing, this is such a horrid situation!
“Did you make these laws…”
“Complaining without threatening to harm someone would be a good start.”
He is, intentionally, being a bit firm. He still does not trust Erebus enough to not be.
He mused quietly, taking a chunk out of his bacon. His ears twitched, brows rising as a delighted purr rumbled out.
“I like this one. We should keep more of it.”
A little spine of jealously flared up, giving Srira a little squint. His nose scrunched a little…shaking his head and taking a piece of bacon.
Maybe he was taking a nap during the needed time…
Or busy with other things.
“I wonder what a fertilized one would taste like…”
—
"I had Nariko eradicate a hoard of dragons. The winged fiends had been conspiring against me.
The eggs were a bonus. You'd be surprised how rare it is to find unfertilized dragon eggs for consumption.
The thunder boar bacon was because she ran afoul one and felt compelled -
“I do not think I have eaten dragon before.”
He had a few juices in hand, and a coffee pot floating behind. Decisions decisions …
Immediately eyeing the large slabs of bacon…a greedy, clawed hand readying to reach over!
"Fair warning, I'm trying something new with actually cooking.
Well, that and the dragon eggs and meat."
His relative newness to cooking wasn't really an issue, but he isn't quite familiar with his herald's spice tolerance.
Finally finishing the omelette, plenty of other -
