"Yeahhhh, but my head hurts. Ugh." Theo mumbled, rubbing his temples. "I think I drank too much... I don't remember a lot." He muttered, looking over at him slowly before he yawned a bit.
|
"You remember me," Denzell responded with a laugh. He rose and stretched, feeling a little stiff from sleeping on the floor. "Where do we get food?" |
"Call for a servant to bring some." He said, rubbing his face again and looking outside as he slowly stood up to stretch a bit. "Mmm..."
|
Denzell shouted out his order and waited. This...demanding thing he would have to get used to... |
Theodore opened the window and sat in the sill for some fresh air to clear his head, sighing slowly. Later, he'd go see Danielle, when his head didn't hurt anymore. "How'd you rest, Denzell? If you need to rest more later, you can use my bed." He said, smiling at him.
|
Once the offer was made, Denzell crawled into the bed, laying on his stomach. He slept again with Sloane upon the small of his back, curled up once more. |
Theodore laughed and quieted as they slept, shifting to relax back against the frame of the window, waiting for the food to come. When it did, he gently woke Denzell, asking for some water for himself. He was extremely thirsty after drinking all of that alcohol.
|
Denzell ate away eagerly. Nothing he had stolen before had quite compared to what was served within the walls of Caer Elise. He smiled at the sweet tastes of the fruits and the wholesome flavor of the prepared breads. Bits were offered to the curious Sloane. |
Theodore sat with Denzell, drinking his water slowly so he didn't get the hiccups or something, smiling as he watched them a bit, chatting idly now and then. He'd missed them, it was nice to have some of his friends still be alive! Not that Arturo wasn't a friend.
|
Danny interrupted their conversation by running in, crying out his monster noises. The toddler stopped once he spotted the cat, approaching it carefully. His hand extended as he patted upon the feline's head roughly. "Hi kitty." |
Theodore cringed when the boy ran in like that, touching his own forehead a bit. "Oh..."
He watched as Sloane hunched down under the rough petting and he reached to gently take Danny's hand and try to show him how to pet the critter. "Gently, Danny, gently. You'll hurt him and he'll get your hand if you pet him too hard." He warned, petting through some of the boy's hair after a moment. "Where's your mother?" |
"Dunno," he responded, stubbornly continuing his heavy handed pets. "I like kitty." |
As Theodore had assumed, Sloane only took so much of the petting before batting at Danny's hand for him to stop, grumbling and bounding away to hide against Denzell's body, hopping up onto his shoulder.
"Ah, I told you, Danny. Let me see your hand." He said, taking it to see if he'd been scratched by Sloane, thankful the feline hadn't gotten that mad at him. He gave it a gentle kiss, picking the boy up into his arms and smiling softly at Denzell. "I'm going to take him with me to see his mother. Feel free to rest in here, I'll be back soon." He replied as he got up and headed out with Danny in his grasp to find the child's mother. |
"Kitty bad," Danny commented as he was taken away. Denzell pet the frustrated feline and napped once more. |
Theodore laughed. "I'm sure kitty is thinking the same thing about you, Danny." He replied, patting his back. He smiled when he found Danielle.
"Danielle?" He hadn't seen her since he'd woken up, glad to find her. "I think I've found something of yours." He said jokingly, patting Danny's back again before shifting to set the child down. |
The boy rushed to Danielle the moment he was set down. She put her work aside to scoop him up. "Ah, there you are," she said with a laugh, accompanying a kiss to Danny's cheek. Her eyes turned to Theodore. "You look well...a little disoriented...Was it because you were out too long?" |
Theodore smiled and shook his head slowly. "Nah, I have a hangover. Arturo took me out for drinks when I woke up earlier and I drank way too much. I turned 20 today though." He chuckled, moving to give her a gentle hug, playfully keeping little Danny between them as he pet the boy's hair a bit.
"I'll probably go sleep it off the rest of the way in a little bit." |
"Happy birthday," she said with a nod, adding with tsks, "You shouldn't have drank too much." Danny squirmed when he was sandwiched between the two, making some noises to express his discomfort. "When you wake up, I'll have a special birthday meal, okay?" |
Theodore chuckled and gave her a kiss on the cheek before he pulled away and let Danny have more space again, ruffling his hair. "Thanks, Danielle. I'd better go lie down while I still can." He said with a laugh, brushing a hand through her hair gently before parting from her and Danny to return to the room and try to crawl into bed with Denzell so he could curl up against him.
Though, when he awoke again, there would be something very different about the twenty year old. |
Denzell woke up from his nap when Sloane padded his paws over him to crawl over and off to look for mice. At some point, he had given Theodore a hug. Now he found him oddly...soft. |
Theodore had always been slender, but now he was even more so, and as he pressed in closer to Denzell, it would become apparent that there were some extra squishy extremities on his chest. Before the change, Theodore had been very pretty for a boy, but now his beauty surpassed many of the prettiest maids there, though perhaps not the beauty of everyone.
|
Denzell had jumped back in surprise. Had he accidentally escaped Theodore's bed at some point in an act of sleepwalking? How did he get into bed with this woman? |
Theodore blinked awake when the heat left him so suddenly, sitting up slowly. "Denzell? What's wrong?" 'He' asked, blinking wildly. He felt the weight on his chest, his hands touching there slowly and he looked down when he suddenly felt something... soft?
"Kyaa!!" Theo shrieked in surprise, his face flushing over as dark as ever, tugging the blankets up over his torso--he'd taken his shirt off when he'd crawled into bed. His scars had faded with the change, leaving pale, milky smooth flesh in their place. |
Denzell had flushed brightly after seeing what he did. "Who...what? Who?" he stammered, unsure of what to say or how to apologize for intruding into her bed. |
"I-It's Theodore! I'm Theo" She said as he quickly wrapped up in the sheet and moved to run out in search for Arturo, she didn't know what to do!
"A-Arturo! Arturo!" His own voice sounded so strange to him... well, her? Theo didn't know what to think anymore! |
