22: Things Take A Twist (For The Worse?)
"What if the big, bad Beastar kills me?" Melon asked, snuggling your stomach. "Would you be sad?"
"Not in the slightest." You sighed. "But I wouldn't know where to go."
"Where would you want to go?"
"Wherever you went, I guess..."
"You sound ultra-sad. Maybe we need a real therapy session, YN." Melon's eyes were almost human for a second. You scoffed.
"Like I'd want to tell you about my life. The point of being here with you is to forget I ever had it."
"And I am oh so good at it!" Melon cheered. "After I try the baby, maybe I'll do you a favor and have a taste of you. But I'll be nice and let you die quickly."
"That's all I can ask for..."
Legoshi, in the interim, was in a bit more trouble than he thought he was going to be in.
"You don't want me to turn you into carrot fertilizer, right Legoshi?" Yahya asked. "If you want to avoid danger in the world of grown-ups, you must first show your sincerity."
"Sincerity?"
"Beg for forgiveness. A carnivore who ate the flesh of a live herbivore is unqualified to be beastar, no matter the reason. But if you gt down on your knees and grovel and apologize for being born a carnivore, while you wag your tail and droop your ears and drool all over with your mouth... then you'll be at least spared of being turned into fertilizer like all these vile creatures." His eyes were dark. "Now grovel."
"Okay." Legoshi thought for a minute more before he knew what he had to do. It was easy, especially after having Yahya's foot on his body. "I'm sorry I was born a carnivore and I'm sorry that I ate my friend's foot. It was consEN-- oof-- consensual, but ah, it was unforgiveable. Not a day passes where I don't reGRET it! Erg, I'll always carry the guild inside of me... Thatf why..." Legoshi raised his head from the ground. "I 'on't neeg fangf anymah."
He presented the pointed teeth to Yahya.
"Oof, ftill haf a 'ig on--" Legoshi cracked it off. "Now my bowy, haff ra right to punf you in fa fafe."
And Yayha saw it coming, but he didn't bother to block it. "Ha. Such a gentle and ineffective punch." Even though he was tossed across the room with it. "It symbolizes your true nature! But now, your lack of fangs has rendered you speech deficient... but you haven't gotten weaker! In fact, you're standing as tall as ever. Your spirit is so strong that it could reign supreme over the apex of all carnivores."
Suddenly the smoke alarm went off and Legoshi was bowed in front of Yahya. "Even carnivoref haf a fenfe of reafon... vey're all fuffuring. Your mefodf are wong. I punht you in va fafe to twell 'ou fat. I'm forry for bein' wude to va beaftar."
(Even carnivores have a sense of reason. They're all suffering. Your methods are wrong. I punched you in the face to tell you that. I'm sorry for being so rude to the beastar.)
"I'll be weaving now." And Legoshi took off like lightening towards the only place he thought he could go. To Gouhin.
