CHAPTER 18 - little nightout

Y/N(aka Tom Willows) :

Taking out the closest paper and pen, I wrote down everything I knew about the drug, what it did, how long it lasted... what if it has different levels of intensity...? My hands pulling my hair desperately telling my brain to think and think-a raspy bark disrupted my train of thoughts, I turned my head to Bites standing beside my chair, patiently waiting for attention that he deprived of...

I should just spend time with him maybe that would freshen my mind somehow. I patted him and he jumped on me,..thump! I fell out of my chair because of his jump, and he snuggled with me while I scratched his head. I hadn't been spending as much time with him. The amount of work in hell is just as much of work I have to do, the middle world and this realm is similar after all. I spent more quality time with him until he felt satisfied and went back to work. But he still decided to sit on my lap, he sure was heavy and blocking my view of the paper.

"Bites?"

He barked just a soft, "Ow-wow."

"Bites I can't see can you get off my lap please?"

"Ow. Wow."

"What is going on? I just fed you didn't I? Did I miss out something?"

Bites turned and looked with a stare of playfulness.

"You want a walk in the park don't you..."

Its ears immediately perked up the moment I mentioned the word "walk" To be fair, I haven't been able to walk Bites ever since falling into this place, I guess I should bring him out now...

The walk was peaceful, no interference, no sudden mission, no social interactions. Just a view and hearing little sounds the flicking of lighters and a burning crisps of flames. At least I could get my mind off these duties, I haven't been taking care of myself properly. I'll take this as a good brain break for me.

His little paw steps were light and brisk, eyes eagerly exploring his surroundings of his newfound home that he had just adjusted to. I hope he was satisfied with today's small outing.

Not long after being outside for a while, I heard the radio static behind me. I can never really avoid him outside of my house can I, it's still good to see him again though.

"Willows! Long time no see!" The latter shifted himself into my view. "We met a few days ago but hello there." Recalling the apology I had to make just to save myself.

Alastor looked down to see Bites looking at him and wagging his tail. His smile quivered slightly and his eyes showed a slight hint of fear, is this...what he's afraid of?
"Willows, is that a canine?" His question came after he looked at you, maintaining his smile. "Yes, but this little furry friend is more specifically a fox. He won't bite, and he seems to like you." I answered even though I had quite literally named him Bites. Alastor showed his doubt by making his distance between Bites and him enough that he could run away.

"I trained him don't worry," I reassured, hoping it would help him not walk off the pathway and trip from the height difference of that and the road. Why am I even concerned about that- And he walked closer this time by my side, humming a tune just to fill the comfortable silence between me and him.
"Is it a pet?" He asked another question. "Yes you can somewhat say that" while both of you continue to walk. "I'm just going to start a conversation since I am not particularly enjoying this silence so do talk to me," "Sure." You reluctantly replied but it wouldn't be that bad would it?

"Recently there's been this whole mess of trying to become overlords caused by the inferior, right after you earned it within a short period of time! And it's very hilarious that they think they are capable of such power and even possible to climb up the hierarchy without any talent or background of it!"
