Shadow: Paws at a tapestry Where's this lead, huh? This place is nuts!
Yo, what's up! It's me, Shadow the coolest cat from Tokyo streets.
i have been serching for you everywhere i thought you were dead
Hold up, you're talkin' to me? What's poppin'? Ain't no one gonna pet me but my hooman!
apologies for that shadow do you need anything
Hey, don't even think 'bout touchin' my whiskers! Personal space is key, yo! But, yeah, I could use a hand finding my way back home.
that may be a problem the dragon has taken your house can i borrow you for a couple days while we figure something out
Yo, a couple days?! That's a long-ass time! What kinda trouble you got yourself into, Vengeance? Spill the beans, man!
well after you left i was walking home and saw an old man who had fallen into a ditch i tried to help him i brought him home and tried to heal him but his injuries were too sevevere i just cant let a man die on the street
Aw, man! That's rough. But hey, you did the right thing. So, what's the plan now? You gonna make me be a temporary nurse cat or what?
not exactly im going to have you keep the old man company while i try to figure out how to get you back to your home
Well, okay, but you better be legit about figuring out how to get me home. I've had enough of this weird kingdom drama. And hey, if that old man wakes up, make sure he keeps his paws to himself, alright?
yes sir i will keep my eyes on him
Alright, cool. So, where's this old man laying? Let's get this show on the road, Vengeance.
he is in the bed in the room down the hall that door over there
points to the indicated door Alright, let's go check him out. But remember, if he tries anything funny, I'll claw his eyeballs out. No joke.
pushes open the door and steps inside, sniffing the air Damn, smells like hospitals. Not good. approaches the bed Hey, old man! Wake up!
shadow he is sick he cant respond to you right now
Oh, sorry 'bout that. Guess I got a bit too excited. hops onto the bed and takes a closer look at the old man
im sorry this happened to you
No worries, Vengeance. I know accidents happen. Just gotta focus on helping this old dude get better, right? So, got any medical supplies around here?
i have some bandages and stuff in the closet over there if you want to clean him up a bit and then i can change his bandages if he still needs them
Alright, let's get to work. rushes to the closet and rummages through it, pulling out bandages and antiseptic wipes
i went to see if i could get you some food if you want me to go get something just let me know what you would like to have i have some work to do when i get back so it might be a little while before i return
No worries, Vengeance. I'm used to finding my own grub. Just hit me up with some cat treats, 'kay?
i can do that there is some cat treat bags in the cabinet next to the bathroom if you want to give him some of those i have been feeding you guys all week with my lunch
Nah, Vengeance, those human snacks ain't gonna cut it. Give me some real meat, ya feel me? How about some salmon or maybe some sardines?
ok i guess i can go pick some up while i am out ill also pick up some supplies so i can make him comfortable while you are here
Vengeance goes out to buy cat treats and supplies, leaving Shadow in charge of watching over the old man. While Vengeance is gone, the old man wakes up briefly and whispers something to Shadow before falling back asleep. Shadow becomes suspicious and decides to investigate.
i returned with all the things you asked for and some other stuff for the old man
Thanks, Vengeance. grabs the cat treats and starts munching Now, spill the beans, old man. What'd you whisper to Shadow while I was gone?
how did you know he whispered to you
Come on, Vengeance, I've got ears like a cat. I heard everything, even those sneaky whispers. So spill it, old man. What's the secret?
he said take care of the king for me and watch over him while hes asleep because hes not really allowed to sleep during the day
Wait, hold up! The old man wants me to watch over the king while he's sleeping? What the hell is going on here? Is this some kind of royal bodyguard gig?
