It was funny. When you wore a big suit of armor, people didn’t tend to question you when you asked for something. Wolfric got the occasional look every so often from passerby, but they weren’t the derisive stares or worried ones that he usually garnered. More curious than anything else. Some respect, like armor denoted power or wealth. He supposed it did, just not his. Wolfric would get there though. Yeah! He would-
“Mew?”
Glancing down at his companion, Wolfric grinned. Pochi, his little gray striped kitten friend, was pawing at him because he’d just finished his saucer of milk. They sat at a table in a private room in the back of a fancy restaurant. Beside him on the next chair over, his armor sat eerily at the table like it was about to join in on the feast. And a feast it was. Several empty dishes were piled one side of the table while Wolfric had about three still left in front of him. Pochi stood on the table too with a little saucer in front of him.
Snatching up the milk pitcher from off the table and pouring Pochi another round, Wolfric watched as Pochi eagerly lapped it up. He chomped down on his own meal. Some kind of meat. Wolfric wasn’t sure what it was, but it was tender and juicy and tasted awesome. So he didn’t really need to know. After a few more sips, Pochi stopped and curled up into a little ball, purring softly.
Issuing a happy sigh, Wolfric pet his little buddy and lightly poked his full little belly.
“Awuhuhuuu,” he chuckled lightly. Well, if the little guy was full, it was getting close to time to bail. Jerking as the door creaked open, Wolfric slapped his hand onto his armor and disappeared back into it just as one of the waiters entered. Pochi started and stared at the waiter with a bottlebrush tail sticking awkwardly into the air.
“Ah, sir, are you all finished?” the waiter asked, pausing as he saw the kitten, “Sir, we don’t allow pets!”
Grabbing Pochi off the table and cradling him lightly in an arm, Wolfric rose to his feet, nodding. “That’s fine, we’ll leave then,” he replied hollowly from the armor, going to move past the waiter.
“Sir! There’s the matter of your bill…” he said, hoisting it out in front of Wolfric.
“Uh…right…” Wolfric uttered slowly, glancing around discreetly. There! Jumping back from the waiter, he charged toward the large window, tucking Pochi behind him and smashing through it. It was a bit of a drop to the ground.
THUNK!
“Not too bad,” Wolfric grunted as he landed. If he’d taken a fall like that without his Devil Fruit powers, that could’ve been messy! He quickly checked on Pochi. Clinging to him with claws bared. Well, not much he could do about that right now. The shouts from within the restaurant weren’t sounding all that friendly anymore either. Time to go.
Taking off at a sprint, Wolfric shot down the cobblestone streets with his greaves clacking noisily against it. In the distance, he could hear people for marines now. Ah, crap.
“This suuuuuuucks!” he griped loudly and kept running.
