Flesh of My Blood-Chp18

[the trio made their way to the streets, chking out the sights]

Sylvia: [sees a food truck up ahead] Ooh, food truck! Haven't eaten stuff from one of those in mths! [made her way quickly to join the line] 'Scuse me! Lord Wander n Commander Sylvia coming thru!

Hater: |-( [mumbled] Geez, abuse of power much?

Wander: ^^;; You'd get used to that.

Hater: Whatever [was abt to follow the line wen he sees something at the corner of his eye] Huh? [turns to the direction]

Wander: ? Something got your attention again?

Hater: [ignores him in favour of going to the direction where he thought he saw something]

Wander: ? Hater?

Sylvia: [sees him leave n rolled her eyes, knowing Wander can deal with him as she made her order]

Hater: [went to a dark alley nearby n peeked ard the discarded cardboard boxes]

???: (made a small silent sneeze)

Wander: (has followed) Hey, what up?

Hater: I just thought I saw something familiar... [hears the sneeze n followed the sound, then peels bk a piece of cardboard to reveal a skinny dirty Watchdog] Huh...

Wander: :O

Watchdog: (was shivering and looking sick; looks to see Hater and backed away, scared)

Hater: I thought it looked familiar, it's one of ur minion's species [tries to calm him] It's OK, it's OK, I won't hurt u...

Watchdog: (looks at Hater for a bit)

Wander: It's okay, really...

Watchdog: (hesitates before slowly coming closer to them)

Hater: [against his better judgement, picks the Watchdog up, cuddling him close] We need to take him in, feed him...

Wander: (thinks about it) Well...

Watchdog: (holds onto Hater, a loud growl from his small tummy)

Hater: Look at him, he's starving [sees Wander was still reluctant, bit his lip n muttered] I... I'll put on the collar if u take him in...

Wander: Hmm...

Watchdog: (makes puppy eyes) :(

Wander: (sighs) ...Alright then.

Hater: :) Th-Thank u, Master [turns to the Watchdog] Don't worry, ur in good hands

Watchdog: :) (smiles a big smile)

Hater: [his heart felt a bit warm at the smile he was given, then noticed he was being watched by Wander n huffed] Don't look at me like that. I just don't like to see ppl starve, is all

Wander: (rolls his eyes) Whatever you say.

Sylvia: [shouted from the food truck] Yo, buddy!! Anything particular u wanna get?!

Hater: (doh) (Thinks: Damn, she's loud)

Wander: (calls back) See if they have anything vegan!

Watchdog: ? (wondered who that was)

Sylvia: [double chk, then yelled bk] Just vegetarian, no vegan!! Is that OK with ya, buddy??

Hater: [raised a brow] Ur vegan?

Wander: (calls back) Yeah that works! (turns back to Hater) Yeah, I'm mostly vegan.

Watchdog: ??

Wander: Oh, and that was just my SiC, Sylvia. (answering the Watchdog's question)

Hater: [muttered] Maybe we should go bk n join the line before she makes everyone over there go deaf...

Wander: Yeah, let's go. ^^;;

[they made their way bk to the food truck, with Hater cradling the Watchdog in his arms protectively]

Sylvia: Wat were u guys doing there? [sees the Watchdog in Hater's arms] Found urself a new pet, Breeder?

Hater: He's NOT a pet, n he has a name! Its... [turns to the Watchdog] Err... wat's ur name?

Watchdog: (paused, and looked away sadly)

Wander: Um, are you shy?

Watchdog: (shook his head, pointing to his mouth)

Wander: (blinked then understood) Oh... I see...

Hater: Wha...? Oh, u... U can't speak. Sorry

Sylvia: Huh. That's a shame. But at least u know how to read n write, right?

Watchdog: (nod)

Sylvia: Good, then just write ur name n we'll get all acquainted [turns to Wander, whispered] We're keeping this stray Watchdog then?

Wander: (whispers) It's what Hater wants, he'd even said he'd wear the collar if we do so.

Sylvia: [whispered] Well isn't that an interesting turn of events (smirk) Maybe ur getting thru him after all

Wander: (whispers) I hope so.

Sylvia: [turns to Hater n the Watchdog] So u wanna eat something or what? Here [hands a menu to the Watchdog] U pick wat u want

Hater: Don't I get a menu?

Sylvia: Don't u know how to share?

Hater: -__-** Fine~~ [reads the menu together with the Watchdog]

Watchdog: (looks through menu, points at a few items he'd like)

Hater: [nodded, then showed Sylvia wat he wanted] He'd like this, this and this, and I want this, this, and this

Sylvia: [raised a brow] For someone made of bones u sure love ur meat

Hater: Shut up, u dumb horse!

Wander: (facepalm)

Watchdog: ^^;;

Sylvia: |-( Whatever [made the order n soon all of them were munching away on their food]

Hater: [sat dwn at a bench nearby with the Watchdog on his lap eating away happily]

Sylvia: [noms her jumbo burgers n fries]

Watchdog: (eating hungrily)

Wander: (simply chews on his food)
