I drove up to my hotel on my dark red moped. Locking it up at the front of the building I headed inside. The clerk at the desk looked up from his book. That movement reminded me of my last encounter with a hotel clerk, at the Queen's Hill. Only this clerk was much younger and completely bald.
"Checking in a little late, wouldn't you say?" The clerk asked.
"Had some important business to attend to." I replied, "But I think that I'll be leaving sometime tonight or tomorrow morning"
"So soon?" The clerk asked, "Well, it was nice having you"
"Thanks." I replied, "It's a nice hotel by the way"
"Oh thanks." The clerk replied, "But it's not mine"
"Either way," I said, heading towards the stairs, "it's a nice hotel"
Reaching the stairs I started up, reaching my own room, 7G. Entering I pulled off my long, heavy brown jacket and hung it up.
"It's about time" Harrison called from within the room.
"Shut up," I retorted, walking into the central area of the hotel room, "it's not like you came"
"Yeah, because you left without telling me" Harrison replied.
I sat down on my couch, sighing, "That's because you don't like what I do" I said.
"Yeah," said Harrison, "because what you're doing is wrong"
"It pays the bills" I pointed out.
"How many did you kill this time?" Harrison asked, changing the subject slightly.
"Two" I replied, getting up to go to the refrigerator.
"Must be a new record" Harrison said.
"Shut up," I said, pulling a bottle of beer out of the fridge and shutting the door, "I killed the person I was supposed to"
"Hmm," Harrison muttered, "What was it this time?"
"Huntress in training." I replied, "She was a pretty little thing, but she initiated the attack"
Harrison snickered, "Yeah, after you killed her lover" He added.
"Whatever," I replied, "what's done is done." I popped open the bottle and took a drink. Swallowing I said, "Oh, and we're leaving as soon as possible"
"What did you do this time?" Harrison asked.
"I told the hotel clerk that I was with a Faunus rights movement." I replied, "The woman I killed turned out to be a Faunus"
"So?" Harrison asked.
"The clerk saw me out the window" I added.
Harrison sighed, "Come on," he complained, "why can't we settle in just one place for a little while?"
I took a large swig of beer. Swallowing, I said, "Because people don't appreciate us"
"Pff!" Harrison spat, "Us? You mean you. You're the one who's always killing and what-not. Its one-hundred percent your fault"
"Whatever" I replied, finishing off my beer.
"Do you think that this slip-up will cause another problem like the girl from Vale with the pocket watch?" He asked.
"Nah," I replied, setting the empty bottle into the sink. "That was too big to repeat itself"
"Humph." Harrison said, "Still, we should be careful"
"We?" I asked, "What happened to just me?"
"Well I do help you with jobs here and there" Harrison pointed out.
I snickered, "You sit on my shoulder and startle people. Once they're over the surprise you can't do much" I replied.
"Usually that distraction is enough to allow you to kill them right away" He pointed out.
"True" I replied, standing up and heading to my room. "We're leaving bright and early tomorrow, so get your bags ready"
"Gazini," Harrison started. I turned around. "Take a good look at me. What am I?"
"You're an abnormally small fox, Harrison." I replied, "Anyone with eyes could see that"
"Right," Harrison said, "so how am I going to pack up anything? I can't even lift my basket and cushions"
"Just go to bed, okay?" I told him, settling on a new command, "I'm tired, and we're leaving as soon as there's light"
"Alright." Harrison said, curling up in his basket of cushions which he used as a bed. "Oh, and Gazini?" He started again, "Am I really abnormally small?"
I smiled, "We've been over this." I replied, "Your smaller than a human baby, and supposedly full-grown"
And he was.
