19 Old Friend Returns (2/2)
”Snort” Joe looked over lazily seeing the gaudily dressed women. ”Brrd,” he said annoyed.
John laughed, ”How can you say that about such a beauty?” Waving his branches as if shaking his head. ”Don't get so hung up on little things! It's not like you never get any sleep. She must like you quite a lot to come back and visit.”
Joe's jaw dropped his back hoof kicking the ground. ”Mrhh?”
”It's not that uncommon for powerful demonic beasts to take a human wife,” John explained to the ignorant bull, ”When you get strong enough you'll be able to transform into a human yourself. Such a well-proportioned woman wouldn't be a bad catch then.”
The demonic bull looked at the bush with killing intent in its eyes. ”Why do you have to be like that? You're so violent even demonic cows won't want you if you're like that.” John complained.
”Hmph,” Joe looked around. Johns leaves glowed a bit, ”I know there aren't any around to see. If you don't cultivate a refined attitude, how will any woman feel secure with you as a mate?”
Down below Elanor shivered as she felt two sense on her. She glanced over at the hill with worried eyes. Yet they didn't seem that interested in her. Seeing the worried beauty Laurel grabbed her hand. ”Don't worry he only beats up bad people and demonic beast.”
Elanor had a bright smile like the sun rising. ”Okay,” She leaned down to look the girl in the eyes, ”I'm Elanor nice to meet you.”
The girl giggled and said, ”I'm Laurel!” She kicked her foot shyly. ”Do you want to be friends?” Elanor squeezed the girls hand and nodded ”Of course.”
”YAY!” Laurel jumped at her new friend hugging her. Elanor was a bit surprised but soon she was squeezing the young lass. Laurel backed up and then excitedly said. ”Come on and meet my mom!”
”Oh, she's coming into the town?” John said a bit surprised. ”That girl must be pretty charismatic.”
”Grr,” Joe just kept munching not even looking up.
”You're no fun.” John pouted unless it was food this stupid Joe couldn't be bothered. It was so hard to have a good conversation. ”Why don't you go chase her around again for exercise?”
Joe just looked at the bush with disdain. Then he pranced around the bush smugly. ”Oh, yeah well you just wait! A few more inches and you won't be able to prance around either.” John hollered enraged.
Back in the town, all eyes were on this new woman who looked like she just came from a festival. Clearly, she wasn't a normal person to just waltz into the village as if she was having a stroll. Many looked up at the hill only to see the bull not paying any attention to the commotion below. They'd gotten used to their guardian spirits sometimes odd behavior. Since he had no objections neither did they.
