Chapter 6
It took Pit, Red the pokemon trainer, and Marth, but eventually they managed to pull Wolf and Link apart. Link got loose once and charged, dodging past Red and letting loose a flurry of hits onto the lupine before he was pulled away again, this time Marth holding him tighter. Save the open gash on Link's cheek, and a lump beneath the thick coarse fur of Wolf's orbital bone, and a few other nicks and scrapes, there was no real damage, but Pit stood between the two as Red and Marth kept them at opposite sides of the room. Red finally pulled Link out of the recreation room so that they could talk in private. Pit calmly approached Wolf, and asked with a curious tone, "What did you say?"
"Something about Princess Z."
"He nailed you pretty good?"
Wolf stroked his cheek and grinned. "Yeah, for a little bitch, he's got a nice cross. Ah, I was out of line. I better go apologize or its going to be really awkward every time I make fun of him."
Before Wolf could leave the room, or even step past Pit who was completely dumbstruck at the lupine's admission of guilt, Link popped his head in and whimpered, "I am sorry, Mr. O'Donnell. That was unbecoming of me, and I shouldn't have reacted in such a way."
"Please, I had it coming. I know how that alpha male urge to protect the women in your life can get you seeing red. Anyone ever talks about my sister, and I just about tear out their throat."
"Still, I am sorry," Link said, extending an opened gloved hand. It was such a ridiculous gesture, but it seemed important to Link, so Wolf took his hand and shook. "May we continue the lesson tomorrow? Red insights I get this disinfected," he said, pointing to the gash.
"Course," Wolf smiled.
"You creatures are amazing," Pit said, with a certain childish giddiness in his voice. "You hate each other, so you try to kill each other, and now you're buddies?"
Wolf thought about the almost comical logic, before winding a fist back and striking Pit hard across the jaw. The angel stumbled of balance, shock and horror across his features as Wolf simply shook his hand clear of the tingle. "Nope, doesn't always work. I still don't like you."
