Walking to the kitchen, he grabbed a can of beer from the fridge. He held his breath as he took off his mask, gulped down his drink, and adjusted it back to normal. Noticing Tilarnas constant stare as she waited on his answer, he let out a sigh.
It was about three months ago. A drug dealer we were pursuing ramd into this guy with his car.
He continued talking, sorting out the letters he brought from his mailbox. Seeing the bill from managent co in, he clicked his tongue.
And then?
We caught the Hosh [1] soon enough after that, and the case was quickly solved. But, well, there was just one problem the one-legged cat on the verge of dying. One of my co-workers, Tony, brought him to the vet, saving his life. But as you can see, hes disabled for good. A little guy like him wouldnt be able to survive out there on the streets. And Tonys sweetheart well, hes a dude though hes quite the cat-hater; they wouldnt take him in. My old partner Rick also kept a pet bird so cats were a big no-no at his place. Likewise, everyone else was sorta on the fence about keeping him. Too much of a hassle, they said. So thats how I ended up with him for the ti being.
Even though you possess these cat allergies?
Wasnt much of a choice. Its my fault he got attached to anyways. And we couldnt find his old owners either Hey, whats the matter?
Tilarna was looking down, shoulders trembling. Her face was not visible from Matobas position, but she appeared to be breathing heavily.
Do you have cat allergies too now?
No thats not it
Saying that, she faced him once more. She was desperately trying to hold back her laughter.
On her face was neither the derision nor the scorn she had shown him up to that point. It was a genuine smile, containing no malice whatsoever. While it may be insignificant, he could not help but feel strange. Right now, she looked just like an ordinary girl one you could find just about anywhere in the world.
Is it that weird?
Forgive , Khe. But no this is
Unable to suppress her giggles any longer, she chuckled only to burst into raucous laughter shortly afterward. Finished with his al, Kuroi unsteadily tottered over to Tilarnas side. Letting out a soft cry, he snuggled up against her body. Tilarna kneeled over to pet his head, kindly whispering in Farbanian as she did so.
KyaKuroiShii
If he was not mistaken, it roughly ant Good boy, Kuroi-chan in Farbanian. Even though this was their first ti eting each other, the difference in reception was staggering. Or so Matoba thought.
Khe Imatuba. You are surprisingly good-natured for a Dorini.
That aint it. Id have nightmares if I just left a stray out there to fend for themselves in the cold. Feels like shit if you cant get so good nights sleep. In the end, I did all that for my sake. All for my own self-satisfaction.
Does that not an that I am the sa as the little one?
If you dont like it here, go back to the park. I wont stop you.
