Chapter 5: Smoke

Idate was still in the cage.
So... what do i do now?
I took a small step forward and i managed to slip on the ice again.
Good job myself

-Ouch...
-Y-you...!
-EEk!

He looks really worn out.

-The... do-dolphin fr-from yesterday...!

He was still on the ground, like he didn't have the strenght to get up. Was it that painful to stay here? I began to feel bad to leave him here, even after what he did.
He didn't seem like he had even enough strenght to talk loudly, so i had to walk closer.
He almost whispered:

-b- br- ... -ack...-t..!
-Uh?
-pl-plea..se
-I'm sorry, what did you say?
-...B! Gah! Tt!
-uhm...

He swallowed his saliva, took a deep breath, and finally managed to say:
-Bring me a cigarette please!!

I was really surprise to see this sudden change of personnality, but since i felt bad for him and he looked so desperate, i ran to the village to find a pack of cigarette.
I came back with it, and gave it to him through the bars of the cage
He quickly took the pack and turned around so i don't see his face anymore.

Should i wait for Chlomaki to free him? I'm pretty sure i won't do it, or at least not by myself. I decided to let him there for now.
After 2 minutes and a lot of smoke, i finally managed to say something:

-Idate
-...

He still didn't look at me, and i couldn't see his face.

-i'm sorry you had to spend the night here.
-...
-do you want to eat something?
-...
-i can bring you a fish if you want...
-...
-you like fish, right?
-...so you're just going to leave this orca in a cage?
-w-well
-if i can't stroll, then what's the point?
-i-i...

Oh no now i really feel bad. He changed from worned out to depressed!

-Please let me out, i promise i won't do anything to you... I regret what i did. Staying here was so exhausting...

He looked sincere. However i can't trust him so easily. I heard all the awful things he did from Rocma after all. So i took a deep breath and tried to sound confident:

-I'm sorry, but i can't do that.

My heart was beating fast. I think i managed to sound just like i wanted. Then he chuckled:

-Well, too bad

He turned around and he looked just like when we first met. A big cruel smile on his face and this intense stare...

-Eh?
-Are you surprised? Ufufufu

Wait, did he just...

-Sooo (y/n) aren't you a mean one?
-no, i-
-you left me here in the cold. That was pretty mean wasn't it?
-i mean yes, but no...
-ufufu, even when i'm the one in the cage, you're the weak one! You're pretty cute. Maybe i won't kill you after all.
-you wanted to kill me?!
-of course

He said it like it was the most normal thing on earth to do. I panicked

-y-you're definitly staying in the cage!
-fine. Don't forget to bring me cigarettes everyday, and a fish every once in a while though. Unless you want to murder a poor and innocent animal.

He laughed at his own irony and i left, a bit shocked. I decided to go look for some food for him.
