Rub-a-dub-dub

It was easy for the giant of a man to let out a hearty laugh when Kichi agreed to be his friend so long as he abided by his rule to only play with him. The pup already showed a strong will and personality, traits that there was no doubt Lurid was fostering within the boy. Alastor's smile widened and tail sped up its wagging when Kichi asked if he liked to fight. Oh, young one, you have no idea... No sooner had the thought left his mind, Alastor was laughing again and nodding his head energetically with bright, playful eyes. "Haha! Do I like to fight? No, I love to fight! There is nothing more exciting or thrilling than putting yourself to the test against a worthy opponent!" he replied, turning his gaze to Lurid's smiling face for a brief moment. "In fact, that's how Lurid and I actually met! We were about your age, and she thoroughly thrashed me!" He looked back to Kichi with a wink and said in a quieter voice, "But between you and me, I think she cheated. Next time we fight, do you think I should try to beat her?"

When Lurid turned the question entertaining and playing with Kichi back to him, Alastor's head perked up, jet black eyes meeting her holographic irises with his sinister and yet somehow lovely smile, tail still beating the ground incessantly behind him. "Of course I will! Didn't you just hear? Kichi is my new best friend, hahaha! We're going to play games and I'm going to teach him everything I know to make him a powerful wolf who will never feel pain nor fear!" He leaned his larger head back down to Kichi, the size of his skull very nearly the size of the entire pup, then whispered into his ear. "I'll teach you all the secrets Lurid doesn't want you to know too, but we'll keep that between us, okay?" He grinned and shot the young boy another knowing wink. Of course he was going to look after Kichi. The boy was an extension of Lurid, and he would afford him all of the same care and consideration he would give to her. Besides, the young boy looked... almost pained inside. The dire brute could see something lurking in the darkness behind Kichi's eyes, something he himself felt all too familiar with. Although the monster of a wolf could feel very little, and empathy was not a concept he demonstrated toward anyone, nothing brought him closer to the brink of actually feeling something than seeing a pup in pain... the same pain and fear he had known all his early life.

Alastor would not let that pain continue on to another.
