Helluva Boss: Ink Edition

Jolly Sinsmas

Soon enough, Stolas was able to graduate from using his specialty wheelchair to the use of a cane. Sure he had to have it adjusted to be suited for someone of his height, but he made it work. And just today, he was going to practice walking by himself. And it was perfect as Blitz was with him in his hotel room to take him for a day on the town.

Blitz: Hope you're ready for a day in the public, Stols. I get to show you how we live for a change.

Stolas: Oh, well... Yes. I'm... I'm sure it's very nice.

Blitz: Well, good to hear, cus I got some stuff planned, some errands I need to run, so let- *checks phone* Oh! My Ringdash order has arrived for Breakfast. I wanted to treat you to... well, a fucking treat.

Stolas: *lightly claps* Ooh, yummy! Please excuse me, though. I need to go freshen up before... "Rise, Shine, and Dine" as you used to say.

Blitz: You... DO know that I said that while waking up with your ass in my face, right?

The owl seems to grow flustered by this before he gets up. He walks to a cabinet in the bathroom. He opens the medicine cabinet with a few essebtuals and tries to reach for something, but it's not there.

Stolas: Blitz, um... Would you able to grab some-

The camera cuts to the hotel room's door, carrying in a large fast food bag.

Blitz: Grab some what?

Back inside the bathroom, Stolas, looking sad and in distress, looks from the sink up to his reflection in the mirror. He forces a smile before turning the sink off.

Stolas: Nevermind.

Though saddened, Stolas leaves the bathroom and meets with Blitz, whos already eating a fast food breakfast sandwich. Spotting Stolas, he reaches into the bag and pulls out a few hash browns, giving them to the owl.

Blitz: Sorry I didn't get you a sandwich, Bends told me about the whole... egg thing.

Stolas: No, no, it's alright... I mean, even if there WERE eggs, it's just... off-putting. But extra protein is necessary. *eats hash brown* It will be a while until Tyco finally finds work, though. We can afford some home-cooked meals.

Blitz: Uh-huh... *takes a bite* So, uh, w-wha-what do you normally eat?

Stolas: Oh, normally I'd dine on a custom diet prepared by my waiting staff... Full of essential nutrients and freshly prepared rarities such as roasted vole or... fire koi?... A fresh kale salad?

Blitz: Oh... nice... anything I can get that's affordable?

Stolas: Maybe some... rats?

Blitz: *gets up* On it! I'll grab my stompers and head out to that alley this afternoon!

Stolas: Mm, well, that'd be nice. Rats were always Via's favorite snack.

The Goetia is about to sip his coffee, until he suddenly remembers Octavia.

Stolas: *gasps* Oh no! Where's your phone?

The scene cuts to the palace, where Octavia's phone is ringing. Despite it being from Blitz's phone it for some reason shows Stolas as the contact. Seeing this while sitting on the couch, Barbie attempts to answer it until Stella snatches it away from her.

Stella: Sorry, IMP. No talking to that deadbeat.

She turns to the table, where Andrealphus is reading a book while wearing glasses and Via is sitting in a chair, her eyes still glassy and dull while a servant brushes her hair.

Stella: Andrealphus, look who's finally calling!

Andrealphus: Oooh! Took him this long? That's hilarious!
