Every furious bark jabbed at Shizu’s soul. It felt like getting pummeled by tiny boxing gloves. Skin as tough as steel unfortunately offered no protection against emotional damage. Her bruised heart refused to accept the soothing words that followed. She merely averted her gaze and tried to look smaller.
However, the mere mention of human food made the gloomy goth perk up immediately. “O-oh, a little while ago... A f-friend allowed me to enjoy some delicious pastries...” A memory of a smiling flaxen fox visited her mind. “A-and s-some weeks earlier, I got to enjoy a delicious burg of hams...” Another wispy memory of a biker flared in her eyes.
Her mouth was beginning to water again...
Caught completely off-guard by the sudden declaration, the ghastly girl squeaked. “Eep!” Springing up, she prodded her fingers together like a pair of knitting needles. “Um, t-that is... Uh... Y-you see... Er... T-the m-matter is...” It took a lot of knitting, but eventually she managed to blurt out a grim mutter.
“I... am always hungry...”
Shizu visibly hesitated at the offer. “T-truly...? Y-you would... feed me...?” Drool dripped between her teeth. “I... I...” She stammered, trying to find a polite way to decline. Yet, she felt it would’ve been rude to turn down his kindness. Also, the siren song of food was irresistible...
So, to no one surprise, the hesitant ghoul quickly relented. “O-okay...” She hurriedly joined the gentleman brawler’s side and leaned closer. “B-but I shall be in your debt...” Closer... Way too close, actually. “A-and I promise to pay you back in a-any manner I can. A-anything at all...!” She insisted, with increasing desperation.
