"Remember me?" Offering you a warm yet cocky smile he offers a you hand hoping you will take it.
He turned when he heard a familiar voice, eyes growing softer at the sight of the older man. “I do.” Was the simple reply Eiji gave before taking the offered hand.
Eiji had heard the elder’s explanation of what a carrier was with wrapped attention he had never thought something like this could exist and both parties be happy with it. No, he didn’t have dreams of going around uncollaring everything he saw just because his history wasn’t a good one, but still it was sometimes hard for him to understand right away. “Oh!” Now he got the meaning of the headbutt. “Thank you.” He said. If the elder managed to stay upright after that he was more than sure he would have been knocked completely out, if not worse.
“Really?!” He asked, excitedly going over to the bag again and retrieving another sheet of seaweed for the dragon and feeding it, not even noticing that another creature had approached them. It seemed the dragon was happy being fed by Eiji and the Were was happy doing something so simple that in reality gave him a huge pleasure to do. Help taking care of something. He knew he didn’t know how to make many things, nor was he good at a lot of those things, but taking care of others when they couldn’t was something he liked to do and in a way had grown doing. Eiji and Sora had grown up taking care of each other when they were ill or came back from a punishment or a rough session, but Eiji had also helped take care of the younger slaves and he was good at it, from what the others always told him.
He was petting the dragon, after given him another treat when thunderous laughter pulled his attention away from his thoughts and towards the elder standing no longer alone. That was when he noticed the small creature that was now hidden behind Yasuhiro’s coat. Had he his because of the laughter or had something else spook him? Guessing it was time to leave, Eiji patted the dragon one last time and said goodbye before walking towards the other male. “Is it time to leave already?” He asked curiously, having lost track of time while he was feeding the dragon.
The were was so polite it amused him, of course most people when put in front of a creature weighing several tons would have been very friendly to it but to Eiji it was more than just the situation demanding respect, it was in the boy’s every move to serve. The reason this was happening irked him a little though not enough to try to change it or stop it from happening, politeness would save the young being from more danger than cockiness would cause so for the time being it worked in their favour, only if it came to his prey’s submissive side becoming a danger in itself would Yasu address the issue. “Of course. Dragons have huge appetites, their size and what they do have them needing to feed all the time, or should I say they did, back in the days when they still roamed the land freely.” His eyes followed the boy moving back to the carried with yet another sheet of seaweed with warmth spreading in his chest, there was no doubt his little friend enjoyed the feeding as much as the animal itself did and after a quick check with the caretaker Sugizo allowed the boy to continue, whether in the wild or inside carriers needed massive amounts of energy to stay ready for action.
Having his victim return to him with a question the elder nodded and was about to offer a hand when his coat was once more pulled, a little surprised he looked down at the goblin who was sniffing the air around them with a suspicious glimmer in those greenish eyes. “Needs more than bath. Clean him up.” “That’s not your problem little man.” Their eyes meeting had Yasuhiro arch a brow at their company before glaring the tiny worker down to show strength, no one had any say in how the were lived except him and he didn’t particularly like having a stranger point out the obvious, some things were not to be meddled in by those merely standing by watching. “A bath is needed though I agree, we will head over there right now. Come Eiji.” This time his fingers stretched out for his victim to take as they needed to be connected to walk through the barrier keeping the rooms separate, once the student could access his own powers that would be but for the time being it was the only way they would end up at the same place, Arida’s bathroom was pretty hard to find even for those knowing it excited as well meaning someone completely unknowing about it would get lost for sure.
“Doormen. Whorehouse.” Two words. It was it took for the old man to spin around to stare furiously at the empty space where the goblin had vanished after speaking, two words being more than enough to warm him they weren’t alone and someone from the boy’s past was part of their world as well, without the tiny creature showing them who it was he had to be careful around anyone he didn’t recognized. Anyone could be a potential enemy, not for him personally but for the boy and that made it even more daring to be out in the open like they were. Looking around the hall he couldn’t spot any unknown faces or see anything appearing out of the ordinary, after checking time he found they still had an hour to go before they were to find their seats and leave the city behind so the bathroom would be his best option, magic was the perfect way to escape whatever one wanted to hide from. “Come. Time to freshen up.”
