"Dooooooo iittt!" Nalla said having followed me around the castle. I sighed for the hundredth time today. It was the third day of my return from Lady Inukimi's castle and she wasn't relenting.
"Noooo!!!" I replied voice full of aggravation.
"Yeeesss!" She insisted.
"I am going to enjoy your birthing pain." I glared at her darkly.
"Why do you have to be so mean!" She whined.
"Why do you have to be so pushy about this?" I shot back.
"Why don't you at least try to see if he has an interest in you? What harm could there be done if you do? Come on!" She exclaimed.
"Leave it alone the more you push for it the more I'm just going to ignore you anyways. If I do it, it will be on my own time and way!" I growled.
"So you will eventually do it? Yay!" She cheered making me face palm. There just is no winning with this woman. What's worse is because she was pregnant I couldn't stay mad at her. She clapped her hands lightly eyes closed as I glared at her. This fox, I both adored and hated her with such a passion! "You know, if you're too chicken to do it you can always get drunk." She offered.
"Get drunk?" I mused. I never actually drank any alcoholic beverages before. Besides a few fruity drinks, I just never did it. I mean in my time I needed to be unhindered for survival. Then in this time I just didn't think about it.
"Yeah! It'll loosen you up!" She exclaimed.
"Well, I guess it's worth a shot." I shrugged.
"Alright! JAKEN! GET HELENA SOMETHING TO DRINK WITH SOME FIRE TO IT!" Nalla yelled out for the imp that had been shadowing us. He jumped in surprise then rushed off. I turned down the hall heading for my room. Just in case things got screwy I would be in the privacy of my room at least. Jaken arrived not a minute later with a small bottle and a cup.
"I have never seen you partake in drink before....." Jaken frowned handing me the bottle.
"Jaken, I need liquid courage." I said popping off the cork of the bottle. I disregarded the cup and just drank from the bottle. I mean it was small enough so might as well finish it off. I had to close my eyes and force myself to take several big gulps from it. Nalla's grin widen impossibly so as she watched me go for a second drink.
"Milady! Are you sure you want to... Uuuuaaahhh!" Jaken began to protest but was quickly silenced by Nalla stomping on him.
"Hey! Don't be mean to him!" I scolded her.
"Fine." She sighed as if bored releasing the poor imp.
"WHY YOU NO GOOD FOX! HOW DARE YOU ASSAULT ME!" Jaken yelled in outrage.
"Just keep your beak shut." Nalla glared down at him in warning. I shook my head and took another drink from the bottle. "You feeling anything?" She asked me.
"No. I feel fine." I shrugged.
"Try to drink the rest of the bottle. Maybe then you'll start to feel it. I know I always have a hard time getting tipsy from those." She said. Jaken went to open his mouth but was quickly picked up. Nalla hugged him to her chest, crushing his face against her. She smiled at me kindly as the imp muffled screams filled my room. I gave her a weird look as I brought the bottle to my lips. 'She's acting weird. Why do I have a bad feeling?' I wondered before downing the rest of the bottle.
"Well, I did it." I said not feeling a thing.
"Great!" She exclaimed dropping Jaken to the ground.
