Though he still had a ways to go before he could completely ignore his surroundings while concentrating on his target, Harry still managed to keep his weapon steady as the slightly concerned voices of his guardians speak up behind.
"Uhhh Harry sweetie, are you sure this is a good idea"?
"Millie's right kiddo. I appreciate you wanting to practice your aim, but shouldn't you be practising on something el..".
"Shut up and let the kid concentrate Moxxie. He said he wanted to practice, and this is the safest way I can think of".
Allowing a small smile to cross his face as he heard this, though it had more to do with the fact that people were fighting over him rather than the actual nature of their argument, Harry felt just the tiniest bit of guilt as Moxxie pointed out the flaw in the canine woman's argument.
"And I appreciate that. Really makes me proud to see him take his studies seriously. But why is he using MY desk as a target"?
The young wizard didn't need to turn around to know that Loona was currently wearing one of her more amused expressions as she explained her reasoning to the bow tie wearing Imp.
"Lets think about this logically Moxxie. Millie's desk is filled with all sorts of weaponry, so that rules hers out. My desk is off limits because its MY desk. And since Blitz is currently in one of his...moods, I thought it best if he practised his accuracy on something that no one really cares about".
Despite the fact that this sounded like a perfectly rational explanation, Harry knew that the true reason for Loona's suggestion was that she liked to mess with his new guardian.
Whether it was stealing his lunch from the company's lunch room, or sending him prank emails. It was quite obvious that the female Hell Hound thoroughly enjoyed anything that upset the white haired Imp
And while Harry was still uncertain of if he should talk to her about it, since he didn't want to risk ruining his first friendship, he was also somewhat amused by Moxxie's reaction to this bit of pranking.
"That's not the point".
Though the Imp had managed to maintain a somewhat deadpan expression as he said this, Loona still acted as if he had raised his voice.
"Why you getting your panties in a twist? Its not like you keep your porno stash in there anymore".
"I never...".
"Moxxie, what's Porn"?
Having followed the conversation with interest, Harry couldn't help but want to be part of it. Especially since it gave him a chance to come to his guardian's defence without making it look like he was ruining Loona's fun.
And considering the amused expression that was currently being worn by the canine woman, as well as the fact that Moxxie wasn't glaring anymore, the black haired child believed that he had managed to accomplish the difficult task of remaining neutral.
Even if the white haired Imp was currently at a loss of what to say.
"I...uhhhh. Well you see Harry that's...".
"It's something people watch once they're a certain age Sweetie. But your still far too young to find such things interesting".
Nodding his head to show that he would obey the softly smiling Millie, who wordlessly encouraged him to continue with his target practice, Harry did his best to remain quiet as the adults had what appeared to be a secretive conversation.
"You know eventually your gonna have to tell him".
Though he wished he could do otherwise, Moxxie was forced to reluctantly agree with Loona's observation.
"I know, but...".
"Sad to say that Loona's right Honey. This is Hell after all. And violence is not the only thing that goes on down here. If he ever manages to figure out the password on our tv, he's eventually gonna see something a lot more...heated than a kiss on the cheek".
These words merely produced a sad accepting sigh from the bow tie wearing assassin.
"I know but...I just want him to have a happy childhood".
Having expected his wife to offer some words of comfort, Moxxie could only stare in disbelief as Loona effortlessly took on Millie's usual role.
Albeit in a slightly more blunt manner.
"Best way to do that is by making sure he can handle himself when we're not around to bail his ass out of trouble".
And once again, he was forced to agree with the female Hell Hound.
"I suppose. But still doesn't mean that...hey. Where'd he go"?
...
Sighing in contentment as he finished completely his little project, for despite their size and easy to obtain pieces the models had taken far to long to finish, Blitzo took a moment to consider what lines he would have the fake Millie say when he noticed that he was no longer the only person in his office.
Grateful that he had noticed the Kid before he had started to engage in his little 'three-way', the former circus performer did his best to keep his tone even as he addressed the Double M's ward.
"What are you doing in here kid? Aren't you supposed to be with the Double M's right now"?
Shooting the black haired human a look that would hopefully give him the clue that he wanted to be alone, Blitzo found himself sighing in mild annoyance at the answer he received.
"They were having a conversation with Loona about something to do with porn. And since they said I was too young to join in, and had told me before that I need adult supervision, I decided to hang out with you".
Though frowning at the reminder that he had promised to act as a babysitter should the need arise, the curved horned Imp nevertheless accepted the excuse with a mildly disinterested wave of his hand.
"Ughh...fine. But keep it down. I'm engage in some very serious work for my company right now".
But like Loona had been as a pup, his efforts to make a child concentrate on anything else but him was sadly lacking.
Which was kind of funny given that he would have done anything to have that skill before he had decided to change careers. But that was his life.
The things you wanted most in life where only gained after you stopped actively searching for them.
Though truth be told he could have done without Harry's scepticism.
"Making... dolls is work"?
Deciding it was best to be less than honest with the kid, if only to spare him the pain and embarrassment that would likely follow if Millie and Loona ever learned that he was 'corrupting' the kid, Bltizo tried to think of a plausible excuse.
"Uhhh...it's how I prepare for future assignments".
Needless to say, the young human was somewhat skeptical.
"I...see. Then how come you don't have more than two"?
Though he knew the excuse was lame, and sadly possessed more than a spark of truth, Blitzo was nevertheless forced to use it since nothing else would work.
"Because to accomplish this...mission, I only need two".
Releasing a small sigh of relief as he watched the kid nod his head in acceptance, the former circus performer couldn't help but smirk as the kid correctly identified part of the reason for his lack of...toys.
"Is that why you don't have a puppet of yourself? Because you only intend to send Moxxie and Millie on the job"?
He couldn't help it.
Despite the pain his actions might cause, the kid was giving him an opening that was rather hard to refuse.
"Actually the job I had in mind involves all three of us but..."
He never got to finish his sentence.
For just as he was about to come up with some child friendly way to say that he was planning to enjoy a sexual fantasy, his cell phone started to ring.
If he had been alone, and currently in the midst of playing with his...toy, he would have ensured that he answered his phone as usual.
But because he had been somewhat preoccupied with his 'babysitting' duties, Blitzo didn't notice that he had accidentally hit the speak button.
Which meant that as soon as he made his usual greeting, the office was filled with lust filled voice of his primary client.
"Why hello my big dicked Blitzy".
Choking in annoyed embarrassment, completely missing that Harry was currently wearing an expression of frightened confusion, the head of I.M.P. found his outburst nearly perfectly matched by another voice on the phone.
"WHAT...THE...FUCK...STOLAS/DAD".
Shockingly enough, Stolas actually appeared to care about this use of profanity.
"Language, everyone. Blitzy, I'm calling for a special request".
Suspecting what the Owl Demon wanted, Blitzo was quick to refuse it.
"Ah. Well look, I just had a chemical peel. So you'll have to find someone else's face to plant that feathered ass".
But of course as usual, Stolas wasn't willing to accept no from him.
"It`s for my daughter".
His mind briefly picturing the lanky, but nevertheless attractive form of Stolas's daughter, and only mildly disgusted that he was considering to have sex with an underaged denizen of Hell, if only because he wasn't sure if she was 17 or younger, Blitzo tried to sound somewhat reasonable as he attempted to negotiate.
"Well, make sure she washes it".
His answer surprisingly caused the Goetia Prince to immediately backtrack.
"NO! No, no, no! I'm taking my daughter to Loo Loo Land and I was hoping you brave little imps, and your newest associate, would accompany us.
Doing his best not to cringe at the thought of returning to one of his former places of employment, Blitzo attempted to try and convince Stolas to look elsewhere.
"Gee Stolas I don't know. The kid isn't exactly trained yet, and..."
"I'll pay you".
His protests silenced upon hearing those three little words, the Imp wasn't ready to commit until he had more information.
"Pay me what"?
"Money".
At this Blitzo only had one thing to say.
"DONE".
Slamming his phone down onto his desk, which ensured that he would have to buy another one the next time he was at the mall, Blitzo was reminded that he wasn't the only one in his office by the young wizard's disgusted tone.
"...why would you think Mr. Stolas wanted to sit on your face"?
Coughing in brief embarrassment, for he was NOT going to have that kind of conversation with the kid, once was enough and his poor Looney was still suffering from her...decisions, Blitzo merely dismissed the question with a wave of his hand before grabbing his megaphone.
"Ahem, well...that's not important. What IS important is that we're going to Loo Loo Land".
Of course the human betrayed his upbringing by tilting his head in confusion at this announcement.
"Loo Loo Land"?
But whereas Harry had yet to memorize some of the most well known locations in Hell, the rest of his staff reacted in a manner that was expected.
"Loo Loo Land"?
"LOO LOO LAND"?
At this point he couldn't help but get in on the excited cheering.
"LOO LOO LAND".
"SHUT THE FUCK UP".
