idk what to put here <3
you lay under the inn's bed, curled up and comfy yet you could never fall sleep, your mind too focused on Minori's death.
Minori was a female cheetah who you had a connection with, she would feed you in return of keeping her children safe when the pack was busy with predators. you guys basically held a deal, a blood infused deal.
but then one day, you had showed up on pack grounds and immediately greeted with many dead bodies, the bodies include Minori.
remembering her words to protect her children when she died, you started looking for the cubs.
yet they were nowhere to be found.
ever since that day you swore to find her children and keep them save from the world's harsh treatment, if they weren't dead already, that is. the trauma was so fresh, the incident only happening around a month ago
and it had turned out the cub that Alice adopted was a child of Minori.
it relieved you, knowing that the cubs might still be alive.
after a lot more thinking, your mind gets exhausted, forcing you to sleep.
after a not so good sleep, you groggily slither out from under the bed.
before you could register anything at all, the bedroom's door slams open, revealing obi at the doorframe.
he picks you up and slings you over his shoulders
"you ready for fun day at the market, buddy?" he asks, stroking you as he walked out the room.
you flick your tongue in response, clearly tired
obi and Alice walk through the bustling streets of the town as they talked about their plans, you pay no attention to them though. your thoughts continuing to be on the cub, Kiyoko.
your thoughts were cut off when obi walks inside a poison shop, you become curious on why we were here.
"come back later!" the shop clerk shouts "shop's not open yet!"
Alice hides behind a shelf as obi speaks once more "not even for a returning customer?"
"listen lad, I don't do any refunds, if that's why you're here." the clerk has a slight glare on his face as obi leans on the counter, snickering
"how perceptive of you! that's exactly why I'm here!"
you could see Alice sneak behind the clerk and go into a possible storage room, Kiyoko follows quickly behind her
you snap back to the clerk as he raises his voice, starting to get annoyed "like I said. some batches are just faulty, and there's nothing I can do about it. now piss off!"
the feeling of violence burns deep inside you, it was the same feeling when Alice was flirting with obi.
anger
you wanted to bite, you wanted to cause harm.
you flex your jaw, getting read to pounce, to kill.
"the only faulty thing here is your brain. thinking you can scam me with your watered-down bullshit..."
but the elf, what would obi do if you did hurt the clerk? would he hate you? would he be scared of you?
you don't want that.
you close your jaw, calming down
its too risky, you don't want to feel that betray once again
"huuh?! what did you just-"
without wasting a second, obi grabs the guy's head and throws him on the table, sitting on him so he couldn't escape.
you curl around him tighter, not wanting to fall off
you glare at the clerk, thinking he deserved what was coming at him
"here..." obi handles a poison with one hand, taking the lid off and spinned it around, mixing the liquid around "made this one myself... I'll give you a free sample."
as you two walked away (not rlly) you silently hoped the man was dead.
after obi and Alice got their food at a market, obi was distracting Alice so he could take a bite of her food, as he did that, you snatched a ball of his dango, eating it in a single bite. like snakes do, of course.
it held a very sweet taste, unlike the mice you eat at the tavern.
you liked it!
