"SEIZE THIS MAN FOR HIS INSOLENCE!"
Lykos's command resounded loud and clear, but...
"Sorry, my Lord, we can't and we shouldn't."
No one followed them.
"He's our savior; I'm sure you understand that he was only joking, right?"
Instead, they smiled at him; some even laughed, making this seem like a common sight.
"You heard him, Lord~. I was only joking."
Caring not for them trying to appease Lykos, Ignotus doused this fire with all the world's oil by patting the boy's fluffy gray hair.
"Please don't hurt me, oh soft one."
Lykos, his ears and tail pointing up, bared his fangs and clutched Ignotus's hand.
But before the wolf-boy could bite—
"Op, op, op, not so fast~."
Ignotus pulled back and raised his hands in surrender.
"I didn't mean anything by it, Lord Lykos; please forgive me."
Speechless, "Lord Lykos" stood stunned, not knowing what to do.
"Oh, did you not like me calling you Lykos? I understand..."
His grin was too obvious.
