His scales fluttered with joy as he approached a house in the country

luca smiles with full sharp teeth at his fate, what a great event!  he could hardly believe it was happening!  korine invited him to her house!

just thinking about it, he even gives a little jump for joy

he has been in love with the lizard woman for as long as he can remember, he straightens her bag when he is already in front of the fence that surrounds the house

he sighs and calmly knocks on the door.
"woah!"  hurried cranes open and pull luca inside, holding tight to his shirt, when he realizes, korine, the beautiful with purple scales and blue eyes, looks at him happy

"luca, glad you came!" after that sentence, she walks through the garden grass to the side of the house, her house was closed, so luca couldn't see anything but a simple backyard without any decoration and a house with a look a little old and simple

he follows her with speed
"don't care about simplicity, my parents don't decorate the house much haha"

'I noticed' he thought, and kept the friendly smile

luca was in love with korine from the first day, it's crazy to think he's been in love since she showed how much she loves animals in science class, even though luca, the nerd with red scales and half-crooked horns, isn't very interested in animals or living things

right after that day, luca thought it would be a platonic love, until he revealed that her father worked at the state animal control and care center, also in science class.

it was the masterstroke!  korine paid attention to him! Fricking victori!

'hehe' he smiles more

until he is taken out of his thoughts when the girl stops, he almost bumps into her, stopping a little flustered.

she turns to him "do you care to give me your bag?"

"O-of course no-"

"excellent!"  Korine takes his hands and throws it through a hole in the fence behind the house, hidden by the tall grass.

"let's go" without further ado, she crawls and disappears out

luca hadn't liked this idea very much, I mean, even his parents didn't know about it?

whatever, he's here now... the boy gets on his knees and crawls

....

"a forest" he says, admiring the place

The trees prevented him from looking beyond a maximum of 3 meters, before the bushes and leaves closed the place, it was dark and cold

"Look" says korine who points to the floor, there was spread on an old cloth, leftovers of fruits, meat and other foods like rice, everything was kind of sticky and dirty.  'ugh' thinks luca

"I put the leftovers of what I eat here for someone to catch.... some animal i mean"

"oh" he says without more words, just watching as korine goes to the food and walks past it, entering the forest a little bit.

"Wait, where are you going?"  he says soon worried, no one knows what's inside, everything was very scary

"nowhere you fool, look please" she stops right there and points to the floor

and when the lizard boy pushes back bushes and looks at a mess of footprints, some more visible than the other

"I need you to lend me your knowledge about animals" she says satisfied

"my what?"

"your knowledge about animals, I've looked in school books and on the internet, but I can't identify which animal this is, this footprint doesn't make any sense, does it have..... 5 fingers?! I don't know, just tell me You know, if your dad is that expert, he must have told you a lot about animals by now.... right?"

'I really don't know how she arrives at these conclusions' says luca not knowing what to say, he couldn't just say that he doesn't talk and isn't interested in it, and just walk away

no, he's come too far to turn back

"oh yes! of course! of course i know..... this is...." he pauses to analyze

the closest he gets to gathering all of his knowledge is that... despite the forward dislocated thumb... it seems

"I'm sure this is a primate" he says serious, his favorite subjects, math and physics, left him alone in this situation

"...." korine stared

luca holds his breath, if she finds out he doesn't know anything, goodbye to his whole plan, his eyes widen and a small bead of sweat falls from his hairless head in seconds, "yes..... yes of course! how could i not guess!"

'yes!'  luca managed to roll

"now... look at this" she walks a little further, until she sees a mess of blood, there was some strange yellowish liquid... it looked like vomit... there were more footprints like the previous one, mixed with another typeof footprint, but also with 5 fingers, other than that, there was blood, a lot of blood

"this is strange, it seems to me that some battle happened, a lot of the food is here too"

"yes...weird".... 'and scary'

the two of them stared at the scene in silence, korine just furious, while luca just wished he could meet her somewhere more civilized and less disgusting

until the silence is abruptly broken "I know! that's it! let's do it!"

"eeehhh....w-what are we going to do?"  luca gets nervous with these words

"let's start spying" says the determined girl

luca knew it would be very difficult for him to get out of this situation
