Old Book, New Chapter. - ReddNook

Chapter forty.

Tom sighed softly, watching the sleeping man next to him. "I can't with him..." he sighed softly, moving Redd's hair from his face.

He stood up, taking his phone from his pocket. "I should go..." he murmured, giving side glance to the kitsune.

Tom shook his head slightly. He gave kiss on the kitsune's forehead before he left the room.  He closed the door, and let out soft sigh.

He went downstairs, then stepped outside. He took deep breath as he started to walk along the path.

As he arrived to the plaza, he rised his gaze to Isabelle. "Tom, you have good timing!" she hummed with bright smile. "While you were gone, I took it to myself put the plaza ready for Mr. Slider." she told.

The tanuki slipped his phone to his back pocket. "I tought we agreed to do it together?"
"We might have," she chuckled. "But there really wasn't lot to do." she added.

Tom took look of his surrounding. She was right, there wasn't lot to do, only one stool front of the doors and some lights. "Well, thank you." he nodded.

"So, how Redd is feeling?" the shih tzu asked, moving her hair from her face. "Oh, and boys came by while you were gone, Timmy said it's something important." she added.

The tanuki flicked his ears slightly. "Redd is, fine." he said. "But did Timmy tell you what he had to tell?" he asked after a moment.

"No, he didn't. I tried to ask, but he said, only uncle Tom can hear it." she hummed, as she went inside. "So I guess your break is still going." she said with soft giggle.

Tom only rolled his eyes slightly, as he turned around. "Coming back soon." he said, giving slight wave to the woman.

"Hope to see you soon!" Timmy chimed as Lobo left the shop. He flicked his tail as Tom stepped inside. "Uncle Tom!"

"Hello you two, it seems like you two are doing well here." he hummed. He gave tight hug to the little ones.

He let the hug go, and placed his hands top of their heads. "Isabelle told you two have something important to tell me."

Timmy let out soft giggle. "Yeah! It is very important!" he told giving nod, "Very important." Tommy repeated after him.
"Well then, what is it, hm?"
"We can reach topshelf without stool!"

The older one ruffled the little ones hair. "Can't be true, you two are still shorter than I." he chuckled softly.

"Nooo, we can! We can show you!" Timmy told jumping back a little. "Right Tommy?" he asked as he looked over to his brother. He gave little nod with tiny flick of his tail.

"That's, nice to hear," the older one told. "But you two have to promise not to grow anymore."

"We can't promise that? Right?" Timmy asked, looking back to his brother. "I, don't think so?" Tommy shrugged.
"See? We will be tall as uncle Redd!" he said spreadding his hands with smile.

"We'll see that in few years." Tom told with soft chuckle. "Now then, is there something else?" he hummed.

"Nope! That was it!" Timmy nodded. He was quiet before he spoke again, "But, is uncle Redd okay? Isabelle told you went see him." he added.

"Oh, Redd, he's fine, but he did get cold. He'll be fine in few days." Tom told, as he took look of the clock. "But I need to go now, and remember take your break." he told, before he left.

The twins took glance of each other. Timmy shrugged slightly. "He is uncle Tom, what did you expect?" he asked.
