***Wolfpack Island, a year after the end of Slayers Try***


"what do you mean?"

"Exactly that."

"You're asking something stupid."

"I really want to try it. Please Juu-ou sama?"

"ABSOLUTELY NOT!" She spat at her underling. "Not in any circumstances. I won't have it! It's irres... get me a fresh bottle now."

Xelloss complied, nipping to the cellar to get her some more red wine, cursing that he hadn't waited until she had drunk a lot more before making his request, then came back so she could continue her ranting.

"Where was I?" She asked pouring herself another glass.

"Not in any circumstances, unless you can see a very good reason for it. Irresponsible. Or somewhere around that part." he sighed.

"Oh, yes. It's totally irresponsible and uncalled for. AND I DID NOT SAY UNLESS I SEE A GOOD REASON! I said never! The very idea is plainly unacceptable. Whatever would make you think I'd allow such a thing? There'd never a be a good reason I could come up with for that, and you can stop trying to work out any this second. Do you understand? I never want to even suspect you've given this a second thought." She stopped to empty her wineglass. "And don't even consider trying to find another way. Besides being simply moronic, it is actually impossible. Now get out of here. And stay gone until I call you again."

He nodded, turned and allowed himself to snarl. Being shot down for asking was one thing, but to be fed the 'it's impossible' Bullshit was insulting.

"Even if it was possible you wouldn't get the results your hoping for." Zelas added in reply to the unseen facepulling. "Only a few things would change. I can tell now it'd only be the things you haven't really considered."

What does she know?
"I'm not a moron. I know what I want." he muttered defiantly to himself before adding louder. "It would b..."

"NO!"

"Getting away from you would be another bonus." He muttered as he left hurriedly for a small clearing in a forest, which after events while back, just after the fight against Dark Star, but as fresh in memory as yesterday, had become one of his favourite haunts.

He settled up on a tree bough and began sulking, staring at the sunny cloudless sky. That wasn't helping either. Neither was the birdsong in the air, or the just sickeningly nice atmosphere of the day. Just to feel better, he found a pile of small rocks and began flicking them into the nearby stream, from his perch in the tree, hopefully decapatitating an innocent fish or giving some form of water life concussion.

Well, it was some form of pastime. A boring one, but it would waste time. He idly wondered if Filia would be coming this way, since he hadn't been here in a while. He also considered checking on his pet rock, aptly named Zelgadiss, or even going looking for Lina and Co, just to learn a bit more about what he wanted to do.
