78 chapter 6 - The Mayor (2/2)
Rubbing his face free of the grips of exhaustion, he stared at Kenji then the cloth bound Tenko in turn. ”What's wrong with her? Sick or something?”
”Shy,” Kenji corrected him, feeling Tenko's bone crushing grip strengthen on his arm as he did so. Alarmingly the flaring yellow eyes of the werewolves all snapped to her, confused snarls mixing with the raising of ears.
”What's gotten into you lot? Blackie! Blackie, get in here and sort these dumb mutts out,” roared the Hunter General, a suave gentleman with raven dark hair and plenty of muscle beneath his butler's suit stepping out of a nearby doorway. With a slight frown the man peered at the riled up werewolves, then Tenko in turn.
Snapping his fingers, the werewolves aggression faded in an instant. Curiously so did Tenko's, her grip lightening considerably on Kenji's bruised arm.

”Master Hunter General, how might I be of service?” the gentlemen said regally bowing, one white gloved hand over the satin black of his breast.
”Tell my boys to gear up, and have these mutts ready for punishment. The Mayor chose them for the looks - but they'll need to try harder to stop being rabid beasts if they want to stay out of the fields!”
”There's no need for that - there's no time either. We want to investigate the feral werewolf pack on behalf of the Hero Guild. Might you tell us where to look?”
Spitting on the nearest maid, The Hunter General pulled Kenji and Tenko by the arm.
”Right you two, time to get pissed up,” the Hunter General grunted. ”And pay, not doing anything without pay. So what'll it be, this piss is expensive you know.”
Pulling free a golden coin from his purse, Kenji watched the Hunter Generals features summersault into a much kindlier set.
”Wealthy aye?” he said snatching the coin and eyeing his purse, ”we'll be leaving right away then. Don't want to get caught out after dusk, pissed up or nay.”
”Please tell me by 'pissed up' you mean drunk,” Kenji whispered. Looking him dead in the eye, the Hunter General grinned.
”Nope, I'm talking about the finest monster urine in all the land. Guaranteed to drive away any but the most desperate predators, and will get us just close enough to the nest you can get a good look. So what're you waiting for? We're wasting daylight.”
Pulled along by the repulsive man, Kenji groaned as he was reluctantly taken to the 'piss stations', even if Tenko's tail had started to wag beneath her layers.
For her at least, she was about to finally arrive home.
