Woop woop that's the sound of da police

”Fuck.” Noir cursed as the sound of Rhyme’s voice reached him. He used the word he had learned from his uncle’s with a satisfaction that wouldn’t last. He hadn’t thought Odysseues would tell his dad so quickly with the fire having not even been fully put out yet. He knit his brows as he debated for a long moment about not appearing at all. He knew he was about to get the lecture of a life time. Rhyme didn’t tolerate him teasing his sisters when he caught it, what would he do now that Ody had caught the boy trying to cause real harm?

If he hurried he might have been able to deny everything, to feign innocence. His dad was usually a pushover when he widened his eyes just a little bit and said sorry in just the right voice. Surely if he was pushed something like that would work this time as well.

With Summer perched on his hips Noir reluctantly made his way from his secret place to where Rhyme was. As he rounded the bend surprise flashed over his features as he caught sight of Shaye and Odysseus. He really had ony expected his father. As quickly as it appeared the tallboy attempted to cover it. His gait was easy and he did his best to appear confident in his steps. It would do no good to look guilty already when he hadn’t even been accused yet. He held his head a little higher as he let a look of confusion come over his features as he looked to his father and carefully avoided Ody’s red gaze.

”Yes, Dad?” He asked in his most confused voice. ”Do you need help with the fire?” He used Poem’s excuse for running towards the fire, hoping it might further his innocent appearance. Slowly he lowered his haunches to the ground and curled his blue striped tail around his paws as Summer shifted to the ground beside him.
