Third Person POV

"Another round, sweet cheeks..." slurred an unruly customer at the bar. Said "sweet-cheeks", Husker the demon cat, grumbled under his breath and was about to cuss the little b*tch out when he turned around and saw it was her. The beautiful hyena broad that visits the bar every night. She looked as gorgeous as ever with her skin-tight dress and her long, h/c hair covering half of her face. The moody cat gawked at her lovingly for a whole thirty seconds until she looked up at him expectantly, still waiting for her drink. Their eyes met for a brief moment before Husk's darted away in embarrassment & he cleared his throat.

He turned around toward the beer kegs, hands fumbling to make the lady's drink and his mind searching for a decent conversation starter. Clearing his throat again he said, "So... uh, what brings ya here...again?" The drunken woman looked up for a second then shook her head with a chuckle. "Ah, I'm just here with some of my gal-pals. They volunteered to take me for a night out and I didn't have the heart to say no." Nodding, Husk passed over the drink before leaning over the counter. It was getting late and there weren't many customers left other than a hoard of demonic hyena women and a few drunken sharks leering at them, suggestively.

"So, uh, if ye don't mind me askin', what's your name?" Taking a sip of her beer, the hyena in question responded with a flick of her hair. "Name's Y/n, how 'bout you?" "I'm Husker, but folks around here call me Husk," the cat said, pouring himself a beer. "So...why do ya keep coming here every night?"

Y/n rose an eyebrow before flashing the cat a charming smirk. "Why, you don't like me coming here?" Husk nearly spat out his drink as a blush spread over his face. "Wha- No! No! It's not that-" The young woman burst out laughing at the cat's embarrassment. "Relax, love, I was just messin' with you!" Realizing she was just kidding, the two shared a laugh before taking sips of their beer. "Anyway," Y/n said, "I've been coming here for a while 'cause I've kinda been trying to forget about someone..." "Who?" asked Husk. Taking a deep breath, the hyena looked around to make sure no one else, especially her friends, were listening before turning back to Husk with two simple words falling from her lips "....my husband."

The cat's heart immediately sunk at those words. "Your...husband?" "Well," Y/n corrected, "My ex-husband. See during my lifetime, he forced me to commit...horrible acts against innocent people. Hell, that's the main reason I'm even down here. When I finally spoke up against him, he snapped and shot me dead right in between the eyes." Y/n pulled her hair back a little bit, revealing the bullet mark on her forehead to emphasize her point before continuing.

"Anyway, I was fine down here on my own for a few days until eventually, he died too and came here. Just a few nights ago, he found me and went ballistic on my ass. God, I can still feel it..." Looking up, Y/n saw the confusion Husk's face. Sighing, she pulled back her hair completely this time, revealing her other eye that was completely bruised with a faded shade of purple. Ignoring the newfound look of shock on her friend's face, the hyena continued... "Thankfully for me, his ass got exterminated a few days ago by those angels. Still, the horrible things he put me through are stuck with me, so I come here to try to forget them..."

There was a moment of silence between the two before Husk decided to break it. "Well, that guy sounded like a real d*ck to treat a lady like you that way, if ya ask me. So, how 'bout I give you these drinks on the house and, if possible, take you out for a night on the town?" he asked with hope. Glancing back at her friends, who were now 'busy' with the sharks, Y/n turned back, gulped down the rest of her drink, pulled Husk by his bowtie, and placed a quick peck on his nose. "I'd like that, sweetheart. Meet me outside~" she said, swaying her hips as she left walked out the door.

As for Husk, poor cat, he just stood there behind the bar with a red face, a dumbstruck expression, a goofy smile, and the feeling of happiness knowing that he just got a date with a sexy hyena lady. (Oh, just wait until he sees her thing down there).
