Side Story: Chapter 7: A Tiger's Lesson in Relaxation
It had been three days since Legosi met with Louis at the black market. He had been staying in his room as he was still in shock from everything that happened. Dealing with the black market's usual troubles had become normal for him ever since he became Gohin's assistant, but seeing Louis as a black market leader was just too much.
Bill meanwhile, was racking his brain on what he should do. He knew he couldn't do anything without Legosi and he knew that the wolf wouldn't be much help in his current state. He may be oblivious, but he wasn't blind.
There was also his own trauma to deal with. Bill couldn't believe that Legosi was regularly visiting the black market as some doctor's errand boy. He also had trouble accepting that Louis was actually one of the animals running the black market. Still, he had to do something since he needed Legosi to help him find the monster attacking everyone at school.
After coming up with nothing, he decided to go out and clear his head. That's when it hit him. Whenever he had a tough problem, he always tried to do something social and that usually took his mind off it and that's exactly what Legosi needed.
Bill thought about what he could do to cheer the wolf up. Ideas such as taking him to the arcade, maybe go to a bar, and so on floated through his head. Then again, these were things Bill would do to destress, not Legosi.
As Bill thought about this, he realized that he doesn't actually know anything about his new partner. Sure, they've been in the same club for two years now and started talking more, but he never asked Legosi anything personal. Bill never paid attention to the wolf's work in the club, he never invited him to lunch, he didn't even check to see if Legosi was ok after their first time in the black market.
"Damn, I really am an asshole," Bill said to himself as walked around the school track. "Here I am asking Legosi to help me find the creep who's been targeting our club, and I don't even know the first thing about him. Hell, I even used to bully the guy just because I hated how quiet he was."
"Legosi literally knows my deepest secret and I don't even know what his favorite color is. … No wonder everyone gets upset with me. I've been such a self-centered bastard. Well, I guess it's time to fix that."
With renewed confidence, Bill raced over to the canine dorm with the hopes of making amends.
Bill arrived at room 701 after asking the few students of that dorm who remained where Legosi's room was. After taking a second to catch his breath, the orange feline calmed himself down and put on his best smile.
"Hey Legosi, can you open up? I wanna talk to you," Bill said as he knocked on the door.
There was no answer, prompting the tiger to knock again.
"Come on Legosi, this is important. I know you're still upset about what happened and I know you wanna be alone right now, but I-"
"Oh, hey Bill, did you need something?"
The tiger jumped at the sudden voice, nearly hitting the ceiling as he did. He turned around and saw Legosi, who was wearing exercise clothes and had a surprised look on his face.
"Wow, I guess felines really do jump super high when startled," the wolf said in bewilderment. "I always thought that was an urban legend. Anyway, are you ok? I didn't mean to scare you."
Bill shook his head. "Y-Yea, I'm ok. I just thought you were still locked up in your room so I had my guard down. Anyway, how are you holding up? You feeling any better?"
"A little," Legosi said as his ears folded back. "I thought a quick jog would help clear my head."
"Well, it's good to see you're out of your room at least," the tiger said with a small laugh. "I was worried you'd go back to being a shut in."
"No, it's nothing like that," Legosi reassured. "I just… I'm still trying to process everything. Who would have thought that our investigation would lead us to all that."
"I get what you mean," Bill responded as he rubbed the back of his head. "We went from going to a back alley doctor to meeting up with Louis, who turned out to be the head of the Shishigumi and is running the black-market. Honestly, it feels like the whole thing was a dream."
"More like a nightmare," Legosi said sadly as his ears folded back once more.
"I know we have to get back to our investigation, but since neither of us are really up for it, how about you and I go hit the town?" the tiger asked as he put a hand on Legosi's shoulder. "I know a great place where we can take our minds off of things. I'm pretty sure you've never been there before so it'll be new and exciting. Plus, it'd be a great way to see more of the city."
Legosi looked to the side for a moment before letting out a sigh. He still wasn't in the mood to go anywhere, but he knew that staying in his room all day wouldn't make him any better.
"Ok," the wolf said hesitantly, something his tiger friend picked up on. "When do we go?"
"We'll head out tonight," Bill said with a reassuring smile. "Don't worry about wearing anything fancy, your normal street clothes will do."
As the tiger walked past Legosi, he gave the canine a pat on the back before heading out. The wolf wanted to back out, but decided to go along with it anyway.
It was eight in the evening and Legosi was waiting at the school gates. He was wearing a red T-shirt, a black leather jacket, dark blue jeans, and black shoes. He usually wouldn't wear something like this since it made him feel like a punk. However, he remembered all the times his friends said he looked good in the outfit and decided to wear it out just this once.
After a few minutes of waiting, the wolf pulled out his phone and looked at the message from Bill. The tiger had sent a text a few hours earlier, explaining where they would meet and that he would handle everything. The large canine couldn't help but feel a little nervous since Bill wasn't the most reliable animal he knew.
As Legosi put his phone away, he heard the sound of a car driving up to the school gate. He turned his head and saw a taxi coming towards him.
"Did Bill order a driver?" Legosi asked himself.
"Looks like I made it in time," a familiar voice said cheerfully.
Legosi turned around to see Bill jogging to him. The tiger was wearing a green T-shirt with black jeans and black sneakers that had a green stripe along the side.
"Hey man, you look good!" the tiger said with a toothy grin, playfully elbowing the wolf. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were heading for a club."
"Bill, I'm really not in the mood," Legosi said with an exasperated sigh, his ears folding back. "Can you please just tell me where we're going?"
"Sorry, but that would ruin the surprise. Just get in and trust me, we're gonna have fun."
Letting out another sigh, Legosi got into the cab with Bill following him. The tiger gave the driver, who was a walrus, a folded piece of paper before sitting back in his seat with one leg over the other.
The walrus opened the note and read the contents before nodding to Bill. Knowing where to go, the semi-aquatic mammal began driving, reminding the two students to put their seatbelts on.
After a thirty minute drive, the taxi arrived at its destination. Bill paid the driver and got out while prompting his partner to follow. Legosi climbed out the same side as Bill. His eyes became as wide as dinner plates at what he saw.
"Bill… is this-"
"That's right Legosi, welcome to 'The Carnivore's Den'," Bill said with a tone of showmanship as he presented a colorful building with its giant neon sign. "It's here where you're gonna have the time of your life! Now come on, the show's about to start."
"Why do I get the feeling this is gonna end very badly?" Legosi thought while mentally kicking himself for letting Bill take him anywhere.
Legosi was no fool. Being Gohin's apprentice, he'd seen all sorts of unsavory things in the black market. If this was the kind of place he thought it was, which from his friend's grin it was, then he may in fact have to murder the cat.
The wolf entered the establishment and immediately wanted to leave. Inside were countless male and female carnivore strippers, all in either tight underwear or skimpy outfits. The wolf stood there red-faced and completely frozen as he watched the strippers pole dancing, groping their nether regions, or acting as waiters.
Meanwhile, Bill was at the front desk, not noticing how uncomfortable his companion was.
"Hey there, it's good to see you again!"
"Why hello there- BILL!" the receptionist yelled.
"Sheila?!" Bill shouted back in shock.
"What are you doing here?" the cheetah whispered with a hiss. "And what do you mean again? Don't tell me this isn't your first time here!"
The tiger put his hands up defensively as he took a step back, trying his best not to stare at his club mate's skimpy outfit.
"I-I have been here before yes, but it was only twice. More importantly though, what are you doing here?" I know you used to be a stripper, but are you really working here now?"
The cheetah's face went red, though if it was out of anger or embarrassment, no one could tell. Looking around to make sure no one was listening, she prompted Bill to lean in close.
"Yes, I'm working here and you can't tell anybody. I needed some extra cash and this was the only place hiring. And before you get your tail in a knot or think about getting lucky, I only work the front desk."
"Oh, um… that's cool I guess," Bill said, trying his best to wrap his head around the situation.
"Look, it doesn't matter!" Sheila said with disdain. "You need to leave right now!"
"I can't. The taxi driver already left and I planned this whole thing for Legosi."
The cheetah girl's eyes widened. She looked over at Legosi, who she almost didn't recognize thanks to his new more developed and muscular physique. She groaned when she saw the state he was in. Sheila then narrowed her eyes at her fellow feline, trying her best not to kill him.
"You brought Legosi here, are you fucking insane?!"
"What's wrong with that? Look, something happened and Legosi has been really depressed, so I figured I'd take him out to clear his head and have some fun," Bill explained.
"So you brought him to a strip joint?!" Sheila snarled. "For Rex sake Bill, just how moronic are you?"
"Why are you acting this way? All I did was take a friend out to enjoy himself."
"Yea, except that friend is Legosi you dumb-ass. You know, the guy who's as innocent as a newborn cub? The guy that you used to teese for being a virgin! The guy who's never even seen a tit before. The guy who, I'm pretty sure, has never even masturbated a day in his life."
"Yea… so what's your point?" the tiger asked with a raised eyebrow, completely clueless to what his friend was on about.
"Rex damn it Bill!" Sheila said in annoyance. "My point is, what in the ever-loving hell were you thinking when you brought someone like Legosi here of all places? Just look at him!"
Bill looked at his friend and while he had to admit Legosi looked rather uncomfortable, he didn't see the problem. He remembered his first time and while it was awkward, he was ok once things got going. Nodding to himself, the tiger looked back at Sheila with a raised eyebrow.
"So he's got first time jitters. You act like that's never happened before."
"Bill! I swear!" the cheetah girl snarled as she palmed her face.
Before anything else could be said, the two felines heard a high pitched yip, causing them to turn their heads. Sheila's eyes widened in horror while Bill let out a toothy grin at seeing a female stripper brushing up against Legosi.
"Why hello there cutie," a hyena stripper purred. "What's someone like you doing all the way over here by yourself?"
After taking a moment to gather himself, Legosi was about to answer when he felt something touching his tail which put him on the defensive. He looked behind him to see the hyena's tail trying to wrap itself around his. The wolf instantly pushed her away out of reflex. When the young carnivore looked at the surprised stripper, his ears folded back and his tail quivered.
"I'm sorry, but please don't touch my tail so suddenly. It makes me nervous," Legosi explained.
Everyone who saw or heard the interaction nodded their heads in understanding. The tail was a blind spot and any animal, especially a large carnivore, would react after getting touched there.
"Now Amethyst, can't you see you're scaring the poor guy?"
The two turned their heads to see a muscular black wolf that didn't look much older than Legosi. He wore an open army jacket that showed off his chest and abs, a camo colored jockstrap, an army hat and no shoes. He had two sharp fangs hanging out on either side of his muzzle, sharpened claws, and his fur was slightly overgrown.
After looking the new wolf over, Legosi couldn't help but blush even more. While it was true that he was taller and more muscular than the newcomer, the younger wolf could see this guy was the definition of sexy. He had this wild look about him, especially with his untamed tail, that made it impossible for Legosi to look away.
"I'm sorry about her, she's used to being rather direct with potential clients," the wolf said with a soft, disarming smile. "I hope you can forgive her and understand that this kind of behavior is a part of our job, especially when it comes to getting new patrons."
"N-No, it's fine," Legosi answered as he stepped away from the now named hyena. "I'm… just new to all this and felt a little embarrassed. So when she touched my tail…"
The black wolf nodded his head before narrowing his eyes at his co-worker.
"You heard him Amethyst, go bother someone else and let me handle this."
The hyena glared at the wolf before walking away with a huff.
With his fellow striper gone, the black wolf turned back to Legosi with a smile.
"Hey Private, they call me the lieutenant," the black wolf said as he reached his hand out for a shake.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Legosi," the younger canine said as he shook the stripper's hand.
The two then sniffed the others' hand, remembering the scent. Legosi blushed even more after taking a whiff. The lieutenant's scent was strong and commanding. Meanwhile the lieutenant was equally intoxicated. Legosi's scent was earthy and free. He may have looked wild, but it was clear that his guest was the real deal.
"So, umm… Lieutenant-"
"You can just call me LT, Private."
"Yes LT," Legosi said, feeling a little bashful. "I hope you don't mind me asking, but how old are you? You don't look that much older than me."
"Haha! It's fine. I'm actually nineteen."
"You're only nineteen?" the younger wolf said in shock. "And you work in a place like this?"
"What can I say, it pays the bills and I get to meet all sorts of animals," LT said with a smirk. "Besides, with a body like mine, it would be a shame to hide it!"
The slightly older wolf then flexed his arm, giving Legosi a good look of his bicep. The larger canine blushed even more, making dark furred carnivore chuckle.
"Anyway, you seemed like you needed someone to talk to and I know a place where we can sit."
Legosi nodded and the two walked off together.
While Legosi followed LT, Bill was letting out a shit eating grin.
"You see, I told you things would be alright," the tiger said with a hearty laugh before turning back to Sheila. "Still, I didn't think Legosi swung- ACK!"
Bill was cut off by Sheila grabbing his neck. The cheetah then began strangling her idiotic drama club mate. She glared so fiercely that one would think she was trying to melt the tiger's face off.
"You damnable, idiotic, son of a bitch!" the feline yelled while shaking her victim. "Do you have any idea what you've done!"
A few choked grunts was all Bill could manage as he desperately tried to pry Sheila off of his neck.
Meanwhile, LT had brought Legosi into a private room. The room itself was medium sized with a well maintained stage in the back. The stage connected to a walkway that led to an island with a pole in the center that went up to the ceiling. There was also a circular couch surrounding the island.
"Um… are you sure this is the right place?" Legosi asked, blushing at his surroundings.
"Of course," LT said with a smirk. "In here, no one will bother us. Come on, join me for a drink."
Without another word, Legosi followed the black wolf to the couch. Upon sitting down, LT opened a compartment in the couch, showing a cooler filled with ice and alcoholic drinks. He pulled out a bottle of what looked like wine and two shot glasses.
"I uh… I don't drink," Legosi said softly.
"Figured that might be the case," LT said as he poured the drink. "But how about indulging me just this once. You mind find it easier to talk about what's bothering you."
The black canine swallowed that alcoholic beverage with a single gulp and motioned for Legosi to do the same.
The larger canine looked down at the glass before hesitantly picking it up. He stared at the clear liquid for a moment. Legosi wondered if he should really go through with this.
Looking back at LT, who was motioning for him to drink, the gray wolf let out a sigh. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and took the shot. His eyes widened as he started to cough. He felt like his throat was on fire and began trying to spit the drink out.
"Hey, you alright?" LT asked as he patted Legosi's back.
"That, that was awful!" Legosi whined, his ears folded back in disdain.
"Sorry, I guess that one was a little strong," the black furred carnivore said apologetically. "Here, let me get you something a little less potent."
LT put away the bottle before pulling out a new bottle. This one was a little more colorful. When he opened it, the air was filled with a sweet scent that the last one was lacking. The slightly older canine sniffed the bottle before bringing it up to Legosi, a smile on his face.
Legosi sniffed the bottle too and he had to admit that it smelled good. It smelled so good in fact that his tail began to sway back and forth. He was still nervous, but the enticing scent made him more eager to try the beverage.
LT wasted no time in pouring the sweet scented wine and offering it to Legosi. After watching the slightly younger wolf take it, the male stripper held up his glass for a toast.
Legosi, not wanting to be rude, tapped his glass against LT's and watched as he took his shot. The gray wolf stared down at his drink, allowing the scent to overtake him. With a deep breath, Legosi swallowed the beverage in one gulp. To his surprise, it didn't burn like the last one.
"It tastes like grape juice with some added flavor," Legosi said to himself just loud enough for LT to hear after licking his lips.
"Yea, it's definitely good for a first timer. That rice wine was actually the standard, but this one is meant for those who are a little more sensitive to alcohol. Speaking of which, how about another swig?"
"I uh… I don't know. It was good, but didn't we come here to talk?"
"We did, but I find that things are easier to talk about after you've had a few drinks. You become less reserved and the words just come flying out."
As if to emphasize his point, the black wolf poured Legosi another shot and motioned for him to take the glass. He also took another shot and licked his lips, almost flirtatiously, to get across just how good the wine was.
Seeing nothing wrong, Legosi took another shot, this time getting a better taste of the wine. He found he liked the taste a lot, so it came as no surprise when Legosi poured himself another glass.
LT watched this and smirked.
"Good boy. Soon, all your inhibitions will be gone and you'll be able to let it all out," the black wolf thought to himself, mentally preparing himself for the personal show.
It had been ten minutes since Lt brought Legosi to his private showroom. He had managed to convince the younger wolf to keep drinking and before long, the whole bottle was empty.
In that time, Legosi told LT more about himself, such as his hobbies, him being a member of the Drama club, and even about his packmates.
"So, hehe, so Jack actually went up to me and challenged me to a fight and that's how our friendship began," Legosi said in a slightly slurred voice, finishing his tale about how he and his best friend met.
"HAHAHAHAHA! Oh man, if I had a nickel for every dog that challenged me to something just because I was a wolf, I'd be able to pay my college tuition," LT laughed as he slapped Legosi on the back.
"You know LT, it's been really good talking to you. I can't remember the last time I've felt this good or felt this comfortable around someone," Legosi said with a blush.
Seeing this, the black wolf knew it was his moment to strike. He put a hand on Legosi's shoulder, causing the younger wolf to stiffen a bit. He looked down and noticed something started to grow in Legosi's pants and smirked.
"You ok Legosi? You're looking a little flushed," the dark furred canine said innocently.
"Y-Yea, I'm ok," Legosi answered. "It's just getting a little warm in here."
"I see. Well then, how about you take your shirt off."
Legosi's eyes widened before he turned his head to LT so quickly that the black wolf was surprised he didn't break his neck.
"Wh-What?"
"I don't see the problem. You know what kind of place this is and you've seen my outfit."
As if to get his point across, LT leaned back on the couch while crossing his hands behind his head, giving Legosi a good view of his abs and hips.
The slightly younger wolf blushed at the display. Normally he'd be a lot more hesitant, but he honestly enjoyed looking at the other carnivore. What's more, there was this nagging in the back of his head that wasn't there before. A strange desire to show himself, to show himself off and to show he could hang out with the big leagues.
It was an odd sensation to be sure. Legosi had never felt any need to prove himself, yet he wanted LT to see his body. To see all the hard work he did and the muscles he got as a result.
Perhaps it was his instinct driving him to do this. Wolves often competed for dominance and Legosi wanted to show he wasn't some runt. He also felt very comfortable. It was like he knew he wouldn't be judged and because of that, he didn't feel self conscious at all.
His mind made up, Legosi began to strip. He started with his leather Jacket. He slowly peeled off the article of clothing, revealing his muscular arms. He then took off his shirt, showing his well developed chest and abs. Legosi finished off by tossing his clothes to the side and sitting in what he thought was a sexy pose and looking at LT from the corner of his eye.
LT's jaw dropped at the sight of Legosi's half naked form. The gray wolf had the sexiest body that he'd ever seen. Large bulging muscles, broad chest, and the most godly abs to ever be seen, even under the thick fur. The thought of having his hands all over that body caused LT to get a small nosebleed.
"Dear sweet Rex above! I didn't just score, I bagged the absolute jackpot," the black wolf thought to himself. "I haven't even seen what he has down there, and yet I'm already fully committed to giving him the reins."
Legosi couldn't help but mentally smile. He was happy to get such a reaction out of LT and honestly wanted to see how far he could push him. He rested his chin on his fist while still only using his eyes to look at the slightly older wolf, making sure to keep his neutral expression.
The gray wolf had seen this pose before in a magazine Miguno gave him. He remembered how cool and mysterious the bear doing it looked and wanted to try it at least once.
"Is something wrong Lieutenant?" Legosi asked in a neutral tone. "You seem rather tense all of a sudden."
Shaking his head, LT recomposed himself before giving Legosi a smirk.
"Not at all Legosi. I just thought you'd enjoy a small show to help clear your head."
The black wolf was about to get on stage, but before he could, the door suddenly swung open, illuminating the dark room. Both wolves had to cover their eyes at the sudden flash with Legosi letting out a pained whine.
"What's going on?" LT asked as he started to get his sight back.
After blinking a few times, he saw his boss, Shiela, and Bill rushing into the room. He was confused seeing the three surrounding Legosi and checking to see if anything was wrong.
"Um… is there something I should know about?" the black wolf asked with a raised brow.
His boss, a female panther in a red dress and pink boa let out a sigh before turning to him.
"Sorry LT, but I'm afraid the fun is over. You aren't in trouble or anything, it's just come to my attention that the young pup isn't supposed to be harem" she explained.
"What do you mean Madam Shijimi?" LT asked. "It's not because of his age is it?"
The panther shook her head.
"No, it isn't because of his age. It's a bit more complicated than that."
"What do you mean?" the black furred carnivore asked, still not understanding the situation.
"Well, Legosi is… how should I put this? You know what, fuck it!" Sheila said in exasperation.
The young cheetah explained everything she learned from Bill and what kind of person Legosi was. When she finished, the adult worker stared at her, then at Legosi, then at Bill.
"You brought someone like that to a place like this?" LT asked in disbelief. "Does he even, you know, know the mechanics?"
Sheila let out a sigh.
"We're pretty sure he does, he just never showed much interest in the subject as far as we know. Legosi has always been… innocent to say the least. He may come to a place like this one day but considering he's so new to all this, I think it's best he figures certain things out on his own first."
Both adults agreed with Shiela before glaring at Bill.
"You are very lucky young man," Madam Shijimi scolded. "I made sure this place is safe for everyone but had you taken him to any other place, I can assure you they couldn't care what kind of person your friend was. They would've gladly done anything and everything to him, consent or not."
Bill flinched at this. He had seen some of the places she was talking about and had to agree. It was why he brought Legosi here in the first place.
"So what do we do now?" LT asked. "I'm afraid to say that I had already gotten the poor pup drunk. Nothing bad of course, just something to help him with his hesitance."
The panther let out a sigh.
"I'm afraid we'll have to compensate for this."
"Please don't," Sheila said as she put a hand up. "This was all my friend's fault. This wouldn't have happened if he had used his brain for once in his life."
"Hey!" Bill growled indignantly.
"Even so, I wouldn't feel right just sending you on your way after what's happened. So please, at least allow me to call for a cab to take you three home."
"But what about my shift?" the cheetah girl asked.
"Don't worry, I'll pay you the full night. Right now your friend needs to get home and he'll most likely need you both to take care of him," Madam Shijimi said with a soft smile.
Sheila bowed her head gratefully before turning to Bill who was trying to help Legosi up.
"Hey man, are you ok?" the tiger asked, his ears folded back apologetically.
Legosi looked up at him, showing his reddened face. He stared at his friend for a moment before using a finder to slowly trace the stripe's on Bill's face.
"Um… what are you doing Legosi?" the orange and black striped cat asked, honestly liking how soft the wolf's finger felt.
"Your stripes are really nice. They contour your face so well that I can't help but be drawn to them," Legosi answered with a slur.
Bill blushed at the comment. Large felines had a complicated relationship with their stripes or spots. Yes, they were very proud of them but were also annoyed. It made it hard for them to pick out clothes that went well with their fur and sometimes got them unwanted attention.
"You uh… you don't mean that," the tiger whispered just loud enough for only the wolf could hear.
Legosi continued to trace the stripes of Bill's face.
"I do though. They're honestly very beautiful."
Bill's face got so red that it could be seen through his orange fur, something the other three noticed and raised an eyebrow at. They started to wonder just what Legosi said to make the tiger blush like that.
The five made their way to the entrance where they were stared at by the strippers and patrons. They noticed the young wolf was looking around as if searching for something while the two young felines sat him down at a table.
"Are you feeling ok Legosi?" Sheila asked, a note of concern in her voice.
Legosi didn't answer as he continued to look around.
"Hey kid, are you ok?" Madam Shijimi asked as she rubbed Legosi's back.
The young wolf looked at her before looking at the floor with his ears folded back and his tail drooping.
"Everyone here is beautiful, something I'll never be," Legosi said in barely above a whisper, causing everyone in earshot to raise an eyebrow.
"What do you mean?" LT asked.
"Everyone here is a carnivore. They are all so pure and exude strength. All of them, all of you, can hold your heads up with pride. I can never be like that," the young wolf explained.
"Legosi, where is all this coming from?" Sheila asked.
"I can't hold my head up like you all can. You are the kind of carnivores society wants while I'm the kind that others want to forget about. You are all so regal, the ones who show the real prowess of carnivores. I can never be like that."
Everyone who heard Legosi frowned at this. What he said made no sense to them, especially considering how good looking he was.
"Legosi, I realize this may be the alcohol talking, but would you please explain why you feel this way?" Madam Shijimi asked, her tone stern but held concern as well.
Legosi looked, who was still looking down, brought up his palms to stare at them.
"Not that long ago, I got into an argument with Louis," the wolf answered, causing Bill and Sheila's eyes to widen.
"Louis?" LT asked.
"He's someone in our club," Bill answered.
"It happened the night before the play," Legosi continued, unaware of his friends' conversation or of the patrons and strippers listening. "I went to him to ask about the lights and while I was talking, he kept staring at my claws. When I finished going over the lights, he glared at me and said that large carnivores like me annoy him the most."
Everyone's eyes widened at that.
"He said that as a carnivore, my body uses every opportunity to show aggression. I hid my claws behind my back and apologized before trying to leave. When I did though, he grabbed my tail, making me freeze. He then went on about how I needed to take responsibility for my strength and backed me into a wall."
Bill and Sheila looked at each other, not liking where this was going.
"He… he asked me to bite him."
