A Crimson Reminder

The brunet hummed a bit to himself as he tried to fix his hair to the best of his abilities. It was all sorts of windblown and he was sure it made him look like a mess even with the product he used for his hair. He knew it was going to be a temporary fix for he predicted it was just going to get blown out of place again in the future. This made the demon pout a little bit but there wasn’t much he was going to be able to do about it before he put on a smile again.

Clasping hands together he turned back around.

“Well I’m happy to help after all. I mean you haven’t tried to kill me yet unlike some other people on this dumb planet so I think it’s working out so far. I hope to keep it that way too until this wind storm is over.”

“We sane people have to stick together, right?” Jack grinned back in response, delighted that his human guise was working perfectly. 

Noticing the man’s dislike at the state his hair was put into, the Rugaru scoffs. “I mean, unless this wind storm never stops. If it doesn’t and I have to keep dealing with dirt getting absolutely everywhere, I might go crazy too, y’know?” 

She didn’t need to see him to arrive, the faintest catch of fetid decay despite his attempts to covering up was enough to herald it. She rolled her neck with a casual ease. Mentally dismissing her protector, but not outright banishing them from their meeting place. She head the clatter as it returned off the floor and low hiss of child-like protest.

“You’ve been a very bad boy.” She mused, sliding from her perch, high up to the ground with an almost fluid ease. A slight flash of fang in the low light as she strode towards him in that singular, predatory fashion.  Lucky to have a modicum of respect for the man despite her unwanted captivity. At least he allowed her to keep her new home as she wished.

She stopped when she reached a hair’s breadth away, invading his space. She sniffed.

The Rugaru blinked harshly when Kar invaded his space, the concentration on his glamour being interrupted for a moment as his eyes blink to their dark pitted selves. Stepping back from the other monster, he regains his grounds. “Woah, woah Kar. Personal space is definitely something that needs to be maintained between us.”

“Wow, rude.”

Jack took a step back from the man, feigning offense.
