"Chaos's Beloved," Leshy x The Yellow Cat

Chapter 6: Kallamar

"Kallamar!" Leshy calls out as he sniffs around the cult, "Kallamar! Where-oh right..." Leshy was hit with the reminder that Kallamar was deaf. He sighed as he stopped calling and focused more on sniffing.

He had snuck away from his new caretaker, Elena. She was so... loud! She talked loud, she walked loud, she even read loud. They say once you lose a sense, your other senses get better, and that was definitely true for Leshy, as all that loudness for Leshy was intensified, overwhelming.

That's when Leshy bumped into something. He freaked out a bit, getting up and feeling around, when he heard a voice.

"H-Hey! Leshy! Stop it! It's me!" it was Kallamar's voice.

"Kallamar!? Is that-oh right." Leshy signs, he knew a little of it, he and the rest of his siblings learned it after the incident with Narinder. Shamura thought it would be best for Kallamar and Heket. "Kallamar help. I feel sick," Leshy signs.

"You are?" his voice had a hint of surprise, "You seem fine, but if you think you are, come with me." Kallamar takes Leshy to his cabin and makes him sit down, "What are you feeling?"

"Ever since Milo left I feel...a pain in my chest," Leshy explains, signing.

"Milo?" Kallamar asks.

"Yeah...um...my...caretaker," Leshy was a bit ashamed to admit that.

"Oh, you got one too huh...yeah, guess we all got one due to our...disabilities," Kallamar says with a sigh, "Mine is a bit of a..." he clears his throat, "Bitch."

Leshy was shocked at that, Kallamar was always so... proper, he didn't swear too often, both him and Shamura.

"Oh..." Leshy thinks of Milo and there's that pain again, "I... like mine..."

"Really? You would be the only one then," Kallamar says. Leshy sighs. "Anyways...let me feel your chest." Leshy lifted his shirt and Kallamar felt around, "I wish I could do more but all my tools are back in Ancherdeep."

Leshy signs, "I am not going to see the cult nurses..."

"Yeah, they don't have any tools either...they're very primitive here..." Kallamar says.

Leshy frowns, "So what can I do?"

"Try just... relaxing... if it gets worse. Tell me. But what I can see, it's not a surface problem," Kallamar says.

Leshy sighs and gets up to leave but Kallamar stops him, "Wait, I have to ask... have you seen... Narinder?"

"Narinder? Why would he be paying any attention to that traitor?" Leshy asks.

"Cause he's been acting real weird with The Lamb, real close..." Kallamar says.

"Well yeah, they are partners... I think... The Lamb is his vessel," Leshy replies.

"No I mean they are acting real... romantic... I mean don't get me wrong... Narinder is still... grumpy like usually, but The Lamb is... very... flirty?" Kallamar goes more into detail.

"Really? So... do you think..."

"They're a couple?" Kallamar asks, "Yeah, I do."

Leshy thinks, "Shit... never did I think I would see the day he would get with someone... though... he always did have a thing for lambs..."

Kallamar was about to say more but that's when his door opened and there stood Elena, "Leshy there you are! What are you doing?"

Kallamar looked at Leshy, "This your caretaker?"

"I'm his temporary caretaker while Milo is on a mission. And you are... his..." Elena looks him up and down, "His friend?"

Kallamar looked at Leshy again, "What did he say?"

Leshy translated.

"Oh. I'm his brother," Kallamar says.

"Really? You two don't look... related..." Elena said. Leshy translated.

"We aren't blood-related..." Kallamar said.

"But you two are siblings? How does that work?" Elena asks.

"You don't need to be blood-related to be family..." Leshy says.

She laughs, "Pretty sure you do... but you can keep pretending... I won't stop you... anyways, come on Leshy, The Leader is looking for you."

Leshy frowns, Elena wasn't just loud she was also a bitch.
