A swift click of her tongue and a quick hand raise, Gazelle had summoned a rather burley looking mammal, from behind a curtain that divides the Celebrity from the salon.
To have the power to summon this intimidating stack of muscles, all from the comfort of a luxurious chair, leaves nick with a very familiar chill down his spine. 'Will I ever have just normal meetings with normal Mammals'.
"Alex, Would you kindly Get Nicholas here, a nice chair, I would like to keep chatting to him for some time, also, make some coffee for the team here, they are running over time, for all of us at the moment". Gazelle glanced at the glazed eyes of the assorted technical and smartly dressed animals, stuck typing on their laptops.
a soft chuckle escapes from Gazelle hand coverd lips, Alex processeds quietly and diligently to the side door, to get the chair and coffee, Nicks eyes glance over for a closer look at this hulking figure, tiny horns poking through his fur on his head can be made out from the silhouette. "Oh dont mind him, despite the rippling muscles, I assure you he's more Bleet than Bite.""He's a Billy Goat!? from the looks of him, he could give A tiger a run for his money!?". Another giggle and then a swift thud sound from behind as Alex scoops Nick into one of the most softest things this newly appointed cop and former Con-artist has ever sat in.
"Ibex..." Sitting back over to the stool in the corner, grumbling in a very concerning tone.
"heheh haha, Gracias Alex, you even got him the good chair from the back." As she takes a sip on some very aromatic tea, Nicks nose twitches, and a deep calm fills his body, as he finds the distance between alex and him increasing.
the rest of the animals, pop and chug some small cans of coffee, 'that's even worse than running a full 3 day Stakeout'.
clap
Nicks eyes jolt forward as he noticed he's far closer to Gazelle than before. No wonder he could smell her tea so well.
"Now, Nic-."
"Wilde."
"¿Que?"
" It's Officer Nicholas P Wilde." A very sly grin stretches across his face, like trying to recompose himself, as he straightens his back and adjusts his clothing, despite the effort of making such a dreadful combination, seemingly in vain or trying to pick up the pieces of his pride.
"Si, I can tell you hold such a title with much... Pride, but can you tell me the story of the Fox before the fame?" Nick perks up his ears and then lets them fall as he contemplates pouring his heart out for Tickets.
"I-i see too, that im not going to get those tickets without having to pay one way or another, Si?"
"Yes, Officer Wilde, what is telling a little story, for the love of a good... Friend?" Winking and taking a deep sip of her tea and setting it to the side, as if getting ready to be entertained.
'No wonder she's called the 'She-wolf'.'
"Fine, Zelley, there is nothing I won't do for My 'Friends'." Coughing and getting comfy in his seat, thinking this must be what it's like giving one of those ridiculous speeches he's always had the displeasure of listening to.
"What I can tell you, is that I'm probably just one of the Mammals in this fine city, just trying thier best to be themselves, I was quite a Dopey kid, that didn't know much and loved being a part of something." Gazelles eyes perk up but sees Nicks tail droop down from its confident position.
"So how was little nicky? It seems like the man I see now knows and understands more?"
"Little Nicky was hurt, I like your songs don't get me wrong, but I can assume with accuracy anyone truly following your words 'Try Everything', would be disappointed or just end up hurt." Leaning back in his fluffy chair, he looks back into Gazelles gaze as he sees her form a very strange expression.
"What's with the face, I haven't said much?"As she relaxes her fafe into something, lile amusement.
"Hehehe, It seems you have been hiding yourself from looking into people eyes, let alone honest eyes."
"Okay, Miss Honesty, it seems like my little sob story is at least amusi-."
"Stop, Wilde, look into my eyes and listen." Nicks Hands were lightly grasped in hers as he looked up to such big Sparckling eyes." Can, you honestly say, my eyes are not filled with sincerity? So please tell me what happened next to Little Nicky." It felt like the room stood still, not even the song playing in the background, could be heard, with how much Nicks heart beat pulsed in his body.
Gently putting nicks hands down and sitting back comfortably in her seat, Nick feels calm as he continues telling her the stories and tall tales from his childhood.
...
"So this Fennec, he was the first friend you ever made?"
"Friend, Yes, but when we first met he was conning me out of some pocket money, it was only later when I took his con and doubled the money he made, thsts when he bevame my friend."
...
"Heheh, I don't believe you, Nicky, How could you get into the good books of the mafia so easily?"
"Easy easy, I am telling the truth, Mr Big was like a father to me, he said he saw greatness in me, just when I thought that life was good, was when I knew it couldn't last."
"Oooh, so Nicky was also in the Bad Books, im surprised you are still breathing."
...
"Your Mama, How is she?"
"She's doing alot better, she no longer worries about me gettig iced, her medical bills were hard to keep paying but I paid anyway, there was nothing I couldn't pay for, even before the big career change, it just probably broke her heart, that her boy was becoming someone that wasn't her son."
...
"So she stepped in cement, Later on, she booted your stroller?"
"Yes, I am more surprised than you that she had that carrot voice recorder, on hand, than those things,"
"Haha, i have to meet this, Judy. i bet she could tell more to this than you're hiding from me."
"Well, she can say what she wants, I definitely could have picked pocket that recorder. I was just filling in time between schemes."
