@CodedIllusion The pets brought a smile – just as large – to the child's face.
A satisfied murr!
"Potato!~"
His chilly scales, rubbing against the strangers hand...
@OfLordGwyn And the little one really has to look up-.
Cue an excited nod!
"Started!"
The Charmander took a step back, getting into an assumed 'battle stance'!
@JuvenileJolteon "Mrah, grah...!"
After quite the long walk, the duo stopped just outside the dark center of two buildings.
An alley, and an unsettling groan heard from the inside.
Someone's there.
And the Charmander wouldn't move any further.
'Home.
Run, hide, go, get out.
You cannot stay here. Not now.
You /need/ to go home.'
|>ᴅ ᴏ ɴ ᴋ.<|
On the city's sidewalk, the shaken Charmander ran headfirst into @JuvenileJolteon. His frail body collapsing onto the cement.
--
@JuvenileJolteon "W-Wah. Char...-
M-Maaaan."
The stranger couldn't seem to speak a single comprehensive word in this state.
And yet, he managed to stand to his feet.
A deep breath.
Grabbing Ziv's paw, attempting to drag the stranger somewhere.
"Mrah. C-Come on..."
He's scared.
– Naturally attempting to crawl away from the stranger, to little avail.
He's too weak. Too frightened.
And yet, his body was unharmed.
Where is he?
What's going on?
He can't escape. He /can't/ escape.
...Closing his eyes.
– And bracing himself. . . –
And upon opening his eyes,
everything was blurry.
Everything looked as if he were seeing underwater.
All his watery eyes could make out was a tall, messy, yellow monster in front.
A muffled cry.
