knife ( versesofletters / ill-fated )

Idate had to admit, he wasn’t one to keep up with events happening in Iceberg Isle. Especially when it came to the little dog. If there was anything he could say that could make a vast majority of the residents nod their heads in hesitant agreement, it would be that Shirogane was probably the least relevant, useless, and definitely most pathetic being on the Isle. This automatically meant that Idate could hardly care about Shiro’s shenanigans, he wasn’t even that fun to have a full-blown fight with.
…So Idate would never have thought for a second that the dog would be holding the sharp knife by his throat the moment they saw each other. Logically, he should be worried or scared since this wasn’t a usual occurrence, but instead of that, it was just morbid curiosity with a tinge of excitement. Idate’s interest was immediately caught, knowing that something was different. Perhaps a change of pace was all that’s needed.
“So, the little wolfie’s grown a backbone now?” He taunted with a relaxed smile on his face, as if he was still looking at the same useless, weak mutt that he usually did.
Perhaps it’s not the best to tease Shiro when he’s clearly in the mood to kill someone, but as if he cared. Shirogane was still Shirogane, and still nothing but just another bully victim to the orca. Even if Shirogane was at least seconds away from slicing his throat open. As his cigarette started to go out, he took it out and dropped it onto the ground, lighting up another one.
“Hmm. I guess I have to give you a bit of credit.” Idate admitted, blowing a ring of smoke, “This is development!”
He was walking on thin ice, which could be an incredibly funny saying to use in his situation, depending on if you look at it literally or metaphorically.
“Oh, but before you do,” He said, gently pushing the knife away from his throat, both wanting to ask a question and also he wasn’t too enthusaistic about getting killed through cheating, “What exactly happened?”
