Old Book, New Chapter. - ReddNook

Chapter seventy-two.

Next day arrived, Tom and the twins had left hours ago. Redd did stay behind, on Cave. After he had woken up, he decided to go to his house do some work.

The kitsune let out soft sigh as he put his paintbrush in a glass. He twitched his ears slightly when his phone started to buzz. He got up from his chair and went over to his desk, as he wiped his hands to his apron.

He picked up his phone, it was Jason. He twitched his tail as he answered to the call, "What you want?" he asked with slight hiss.
"When you'll learn to answer properly?"
"I have told ya, I don't give a shit."

Jason scoffed, "You ain't gettin' far with that attitude." he told. "Anyways, come meet us on Tuesday."

Redd twitched his ears slightly. "Why I feel like you ain't tellin' me somethin'?" he asked with soft huff.

"You're sharper than I thought, I give you that." he chuckled. He kept short pause, "You'll find it out next Tuesday, don't forget the bells." he told.

"U-huh, I'll try to remember." the redhead murmured. "But I have work to do." he hissed, before he ended the call.

He placed his phone on the desk. He shook his head slightly. He took his apron off, and placed it on the desk too.

The kitsune looked up to clock, it was 2.17 pm. He sighed softly. "Mh..." He left the room, and went to the bathroom. He washed his hands.

He twitched his ears slightly, as he looked up to the mirror. He wiped his cheek, to get paint from it.

His ears pricked up when he heard knock on the door. He stepped out of the bathroom. "Comin'!" he called as he went over to the door. He opened the door, it was Isabelle. "Izzy, hiii! Whatcha doin' here?"

The shih tzu gave bright smile to him. "Just on my break, and I decided to come visit friend of mine." she told with soft giggle.

The kitsune wagged his tail slightly. "Come in! I can make tea, but I don't have anythin' to eat." he told as he stepped aside, let her in.

He closed the door. "I wasn't expectin' guestes, so I haven't cleaned yet." he told with soft chuckle as he went to the kitchen. He twitched his tail slightly as he put his dirty dishes to the sink.

"Don't worry about it." Isabelle hummed softly. She eyed the kitsune as he prepared the water. "Is there something I can help with?" she asked tilting her head slightly.

Redd twitched his ears slightly. "Nah, just sit, I can handle this." he told as he opened the cabinet. He took two cups from it, and placed them on the counter.

After the water was done, he made tea for Isabelle and himself. He handed the cup to her, as he sat down. "So, are ya plannin' to go back to work? Or would ya want somethin' else to drink?" he asked as he took sip from his tea.

Isabelle gave slight giggle. "Yes, I have few things to do still, just some paper work." she told as she gave stir to her tea. "It has been slower day, so I was thinking I might leave little early today." she hummed softly.

She picked up the cup. She took sip from the tea. "Maybe I'll have little treat for myself this evening. My brother got me new face mask, and I have been waiting to use it for a while now, so maybe that day could be today." she giggled.

The kitsune's ears pricked up. "Spa day, eh? Sounds fun." he told tail wagging. "Maybe I should do somethin' like it too, just have evenin' doin' dumb shit." he snorted.

The shih tzu brighten up. "Oh, yes! Have a nice bubble bath, and do nails." she beamed. "And maybe glass of wine." she added with soft giggle.

"It does sound like a plan." Redd chuckled. He stared at his cup of tea. "Hey, would ya like have spa day with me some day?" he asked, tail wagging side to side.

Isabelle blinked in suprise. "Oh, of course! That would be great." she nodded with bright smile. "I like that idea, we could even do eachothers hair if you want."

He twitched his ears slightly. "I'll think on that one, I don't really like others touchin' my hair." he told.

She nodded. "Yes, of course." she hummed softly. She placed her cup on the table. "But I should return now." she told as she got up.

"Thank you for the tea." she told as straighten her skirt. "Where I put this?" she asked.

"Oh, don't worry 'bout it, I need to do dishes anyways." the kitsune chuckled waving his hand slightly.

The shih tzu nodded. "Well then, I'll head out now. See you around." she hummed, as she went to door.
The kitsune let out soft sigh as she left. He pushed his loose hair back.
