The second teleportation was much less disruptive, although Alastor had to support you to keep you from falling.

You thanked him without looking at him and then looked around to check that you were in your neighbourhood. No doubt, it was. The look of the buildings and houses was in no way foreign to you. A small sigh of relief came from your lips when you realized that you were in your neighborhood.

Alastor slightly cracked his neck, drawing your attention.

"... Are you satisfied?" You asked him seriously with a slight fear.

"Satisfied?!" asked Alastor in a shrill tone as if you had insulted him by asking something really obvious. You pursed your lips and moved back slightly.

The deer grabbed you by the shoulders and dragged you towards him with a huge smile.

"It was more than entertaining," He said. "It was so cheerful and so amazing! It's been a long time since I've had this kind of fun at a business dinner!"

You quickly blinked several times with an embarrassed smile. Well, at least you did your part of the deal...

Suddenly the deer grabbed the sides of your face and dragged you towards it so that you looked into its eyes. It stretched your neck so much that you had to tiptoe to avoid pain.

You did your best to keep your neutral expression on your face but it was quite easy to see that you were surprised at his infatuation.

"Really, I don't regret making this deal with you."

A small, tight smile formed on your lips as you were forced to look into his big, red eyes. They glowed with such excitement, it was almost hypnotic.

"I am... delighted to hear it. Can you let go of me now? "you asked, raising an eyebrow with a jaded look.

The deer laughed and let you go, however, he still remained close to you.

"Really darling, almost all business dinners I've had have been were absolute boredom ! It's very rare that I have really enjoyed myself or that my guest has surprised me."

You rolled your eyes with a hypocritical smile.

"So I guess I did my part of the deal, huh? »

"Indeed you have respected it, thereforce I will respect mine my dear. »

"Perfect," you said with a satisfied smile.

Alastor observed you for a moment, it was rare to see this kind of smile on you. You looked so calm and reassured, as if a weight had been lifted from your shoulders. For a moment he thought he saw another person in front of him, a more human person.
