He’s not angry, not really-- well. Maybe that’s not true, but whatever the case may be: he’s not angry at her. He couldn’t be. Or at least, he’d never been. No, right now, she was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Her seeing him like this was not on his agenda today.

As soon as she enters, her voice shaky, his eyes pulse. His teeth don’t lose their edge, and those sickly black claws formed ‘round his hands haven’t begun to recede a bit yet, but his gaze does flicker toward her, and it wavers.

“Dem...no-- no it’s not-- it’s okay. It’s not you...I just--” He groans slightly, one claw tracing his temple as he grits his teeth and staggers one step forward, head leaning down. God it’s fucking killing him. This was fine timing, wasn’t it? For somebody to have riled him up so badly, and for her to come across this right afterward.

She didn’t need to see him like this. He didn’t want her to.

After he found out what kind of treatment she dealt with at work...he swore he’d never turn that ire on her. Not ever.

“It’s someone else-- p-please, I’ll be alright-- just...g-give me just a few minutes alone...I can work this off--” His foot shifts and the ground cracks. His pupil shrinks. God please don’t let this be as terrifying to her as it is to him.

    The king’s grip on the black cat slightly loosened, but he still kept the other close enough for their foreheads to touch in a gentle and sweet gesture of affection. He thought that giving Mao Mao a little time off work would have been benefiting for him, considering everything the hero had to go through almost every day  ; There would be huge, menacing monsters attacking his beloved kingdom or those disgusting sky pirates attempting to take away his precious ruby, and when none of these things occurred .. his sometimes chaotic and noisy citizens would start causing trouble and the sheriff would have to intervene. Not to mention the sleepless night he spent guarding  ..  he really did deserve the rest, and Snugglemagne was going to give him just that, a time of pure relaxation. Who doesn’t love to take a break once in a while?
