Knockouts and Comfort

You stumble into the Devil's office, holding your eye.

You had been sent to stop two supposedly "unfair" betters. But had failed miserably, leaving you with your left eye gone and a deep gash on your leg.

You look up at the tall demon, who had been sharpening his..trident? Pitchfork? Whatever it was. 

"Sir...Most of the staff is down.." You noticed that King Dice was gone from his usual spot. Come to think of it, he's been gone for a while..

The Devil sat down his cigar and leaned back. "I'm very aware of that. I had to send Dice out since all of you disappointed me greatly.."

You looked down with shame and walked out of his office. You sat on the ground, trying desperately to stop the blood pouring from both of your wounds.

"I guess we both got beat up pretty good.."

You look up and gasp. "Dicey! You're hurt!" 

Dice laughed and sat next to you. "I should be saying the same thing.." 

You forget about your intense bleeding and check Dice up and down. His clothing was tattered. His eye had swelled up five times its normal size. His dice head had multiple cracks and chunks taken out of it. 

Despite all of that, you notice his bowtie is lopsided. You scoot in front of him and straighten it out, smiling softly. He gives you a chuckle, to which you see he has a missing tooth. "You don't give up, do you?.."

Before Dice could answer, the Devil bursts out of his office and stares down at the two of you. His eyes immediately train to Dice. 

"I expected better from you! You can't do one thing right! You good for nothing kids toy!" The Devil stomped away, taking his anger with him. "I gotta do everything myself!"

You and Dice sat in silence. You fiddle with Dice's shoe strings until you hear a sniffle. You glance up. 

Dice had tears in his eyes. You only saw him cry once, when he lost two dollars to a bet. But this was different.

"Hey, don't listen to him..I think you're perfect.." You pick up a spare Ace card that had fallen on the ground and place it to his chest. "Don't let him put you down like that.."

Dice stared at you for a moment, then brought you in for a hug. You didn't decline. You both stayed like that for a couple minutes before pulling apart. 

You stand up and help Dice to his feet. "Now let's get you healed up." Dice doesn't argue and gladly takes your hand. "And let's you get healed up as well!" You laugh as you both walk away from the Devil's office.
