Serra lowers her finger away from her lips and puts on her most innocent face.
”Has – has she been training you in secret or something?” Fenrir asks.
Serra sighs and says, ”Supposed to be a secret.”
”Oh… sorry,” Cassiel apologizes. ”I didn't know it was a secret.”
”What's she training you for?” Fenrir asks Serra.
”Because I want to try fighting,” Serra answers. ”It's a game and everybody else always does the fighting. I want to fight, too. She even said she'd make me a super cool hammer.”
”I don't know how I feel about you being in danger. I mean, I know it's just a game, but don't you like firing cannons from a distance instead of being up close?”
”That's taken care of.”
”What – what do you mean by that?”
”You'll see.”
”I'm wor—”
”Fen?” Cassiel asks after noticing her boyfriend's sudden pause. Serra is looking up at him and tugging on his arm, too.
He looks distracted by something.
When both of the girls look in the direction that he's staring, they see it.
There are a few sheep-like creatures with extremely fluffy, white wool all over their bodies. One might confuse them for sheep at a quick glance, but their wool is exceptionally fluffy and pure white in color. Not only that, but they have four eyes rather than two, and none of them have horns.
”Fluff,” Fenrir says. ”They're so… they're so… fluffy.”
”Fen, don't,” Cassiel says, stepping in front of Fenrir to block him from walking any closer toward the sheep creatures.
”Fluff addict,” Serra says.
”It's not safe to run up to random animals and play with them no matter how fluffy they might be! What if they're dangerous? Besides, you're part wolf, so you'll probably scare them if you get too close,” Cassiel scolds him.
”Yeah… you're right,” Fenrir says with a sigh. ”I'll just have to settle for admiring the fluff from a distance.”
”Good,” Cassiel says, getting out of his way.
Then she realizes her mistake.
When she turns back around to look at where Fenrir was, all she sees is Serra pointing at where Fenrir just ran off to.
Cassiel looks over to where the creatures were and sees Fenrir running straight at them.
The sheep, looking terrified from the man with canid features charging straight at them with a ravenous desire in his eyes, run away.
”I promise I'm friendly! Just let me hug you!” Fenrir shouts at them much like how a man dressed in a pedobear costume would at children running away from him.
”I have a feeling this isn't going to end well,” Cassiel says, rubbing her forehead as Serra tries not to laugh.
”Wh-what's happening?” Azalabulia asks, having come over to the others after hearing the shouting.
”Fenny is being Fenny,” Serra explains.
”Yeah,” Cassiel answers, ”he—”
Growling interrupts her.
The three girls look down at where the growling is coming from and see Rock staring at her owner chasing down other animals. They didn't know that a dog made out of rock could look so… jealous.
Shogun places one of his paws on Rock's back, but that's not enough to calm her. She takes off running after Fenrir.
The three girls look at Shogun now.
He tilts his head, sits down, scratches one of his ears, lets out a loud yawn, and lies down.
”Corwin, we have an addicted boyfriend to go after,” Cassiel shouts over to Corwin.
Corwin smiles and shouts back, ”Good luck!”
