Then the words came, fast and anxious and angry out of the cat barely hanging onto life. Uh oh. Hadn't Squirrel done him a favor? I mean... he had been risking his own neck by taking the time to carry Reiki back here. He couldn't just leave him to die...
What had caused him to become attached to the dying creature, Squirrel didn't know. Maybe he saw his old self in Reiki. Maybe it was something else entirely. Regardless, he really just wanted Reiki to be okay... and Ululare had been the one to make sure Squirrel himsself was okay, so perhaps Ululare could do the same thing for Reiki... He didn't stop to consider the fact that Ululare wasn't the nicest creature on this green earth. His nostrils twitched before he had time to answer Reiki... speak of the devil.
The cute little koala walked up, fur all ruffled, little scratches on his pelt. His blue eyes held the anger of a thousand demons as he descended (yes, a small koala descending on a dragon, it's hard to do... but Ululare did it) on Squirrel. "Where the fuck were you?" He shouted, not even noticing Reiki's presence, "There was a fucking rabid bear attack and you weren't there. The fuck kinda slave are you if you're not there when I call? Now shrink you good for nothing piece of shit."
Squirrel ducked his head, shame flowing through him as he obeyed Ululare, shrinking down to a size smaller than the koala. He deserved this.. he wasn't there when Ululare needed him... he deserved this..
Ululare hopped atop him, slamming him to the ground by his throat. "Where the fuck were you?" He demanded, cutting off Squirrel's air as he did so. The dragon coughed and sputtered, glancing over to where Reiki lay. Ululare's eyes followed, and both realization and confusion dawned on his face, "Him? You were busy bringing scraps back to the clan? You're not the one that captures prisoners, Squirrel, that's me. You're a slave. Nothing more, nothing less."
Ululare looked closely, and it was then he saw the desperation in Squirrels eyes. "No." He said, incredulous, "You want me to save that pathetic piece of fur? what do I look like, the worlds great caretaker of useless piles of shit? I already have you to deal with!" Really? His slave went and dropped this piece of baggage on his doorstep?
He took a great sigh and let up on Squirrel's windpipe. The dragon heaved great, painful breaths, thinking his punishment was over when he felt a sharp, piercing pain in his foot that caused him to yell out. Ululare had torn out his claw and it was left severed from his body on the ground. Dragon claws ran deep, and the nerves were plentiful, so the pain Squirrel felt was immense. He breathed heavily as his silver blood ran freely. I deserved this. He thought with shame.
"You can grow now." The koala ordered, dismissing Squirrel's entire existence as he focused his attention on Reiki. He walked up to the ragged cat and demanded, "Who the fuck are you, shitbag, and why are you here?" He was asking to leave? Well, Ululare wasn't going to let him leave alive.
