Husk POV

After Al and I's "talk," we actually had a pretty good time hanging out. Of course it wasn't necessarily the same without Vox and Velvette, but what can we do? We're all overlords and most of the time our schedules don't meld too well anyway.

After a while, the Princess calls Alastor (through my phone) and tells him that she needs him.

"We're practicing our skills! Vaggie was able to find some things about fighting angels and is going to show us how to kill some!" She says excitedly through my phone.

Alastor sighs, "Yes, Princess, I'll be there soon. Husk is coming with me." He finishes without asking.

"Okay, great! See you soon!" She says happily before ending the call.

I give Alastor a look and Rosie smiles, "I'm glad someone is finally standing up to these exterminations! Although it is quite naive." She muses the last part.

Alastor sighs, "I'm just ready to taste an angel." I give him a look and he shrugs, "What? I wonder, why don't you get mad at Rosie?"

I deadpan, "she's down here for cannibalism. You're not." Alastor rolls his eyes.

"Whatever. Bye Rosie, see you later?" Rosie nods and waves goodbye.

"Bye you two! Have fun!" She shouts after us. We wave back and head on our way to the Hotel.

"Al! You motherfucker!" I yell as he pushes me off the edge of a building. I spread my wings and just before I hit the ground, I fly up.

Alastor laughs, "what? I'm practicing fighting against angels!" I freeze. "You're the closest to an angel down here, you fight better than one, though."

I quickly pull myself back together and shoot after him. "Should I take that as a compliment?"

"Whatever makes you angrier!" He shouts at me. "You're not better than me, though!"

I chuckle and tackle him to the ground. We tussle on the ground for a bit until Alastor gets the upper hand and I spawn a portal from under me. I slip through, closing it before Al can get through. I run away from him, shooting cards back at him as he struggles to get up quickly.

We go back and forth, attacking each other. We laugh and play rough as we jump roofs to the Hotel.

I chase him up the hill to the Hotel and tackle him to the ground when we get to the top.

All residents and staff (also nonresidents: Cherri Bomb, King Lucifer, and some Cannibals) surround us.

Lucifer laughs at Alastor for being beat by me and Angel watches in amusement with Cherri taking photos. Alastor slides into shadows to get away from me and I shake my head in amusement as I stand up.

He gets in Cherri's face. "Stop taking pictures. Now." His voice statics and the ground shakes as antlers grow from his head.

Cherri blows a bubble gum bubble in his face, sneering, "whatever you say, strawberry pimp." Alastor rolls his eyes and hides his expressions with a cold smile.

"I'm so glad you could make it!" Charlie comes over to us, jumping excitedly while she talks to us. Vaggie walks beside her, calming down her princess.

I nod to her in greeting.

Al and I watch from afar as we watch others practice their attacks and defenses. I find myself constantly staring at Angel as he works with Cherri Bomb and Sir Pentious.
