animal ears

? Palanch obediently followed Cole home, but Norman hadn't come back yet.

Perhaps it was due to the instinct of an orc. As soon as he approached the cave, Palanch felt the scent of another orc, and it was an orc much stronger than himself. He shrank back and held Cole's hand slightly tighter. , refused to go in for a long time.

Realizing that Palanch was afraid, Cole gently touched Palanch's head, and carefully led him into the cave, let him sit on the soft and warm animal skin, and said to him while lighting a fire, "Don't Afraid, this is my home, the orc who lives with me, his name is Norman, he is fine and will not hurt you."

But the little orc was obviously still scared, and in a blink of an eye, he stuck behind Cole, trembling non-stop.

Looking helplessly at Palanch, Cole sighed.

After all, this is the first time for this child to come here, so it is normal to be afraid.

Besides.......has experienced what happened just now.

The beating flames were reflected on his arms, and Cole quietly lifted his clothes, looking at the protruding blood vessels on his head, with a gloomy expression.

Is it out of control?

He smiled bitterly, then sighed, put down his sleeves, gently hugged Palanch who was still trembling, patted him on the back as if to comfort him, and then began to skillfully prepare the food. There was still some bacon left over Quite a lot, Cole made some better and handed it to Palanch, and the starving little orc took the food, bowed his head and gobbled it up without any explanation.

While eating, he looked at Cole, and Cole gently stroked his head and smiled.

However, when Norman returned, the situation was different.

Norman found the smell of another orc in his house before he entered the house, which immediately stimulated his nerves, rushed in in two or three steps, glared at the uninvited guest at home angrily, and what annoyed him even more was, That lifeless little thing actually clung to Cole after seeing him, and Norman was so angry that he immediately picked up the little orc, put it at the door, and kicked it out fiercely.

The action is done in one go, without hesitation.

"No Norman!"

By the time Cole reacted, Palanch had already fallen into the waterfall.

Seeing this, Cole hurriedly went into the water to pull Palanch out, and Palanch, who was soaked all over his body, drooped his ears, trembling all over, looking at Cole pitifully, with a tear in his big round eyes. Dense, red eyes, a look about to cry.

"Go in and bake." Carrying Palanch in his arms, Cole hurried into the room.

But Norman blocked the way. Norman stared condescendingly at the little orc in Cole's hand, and his innocent eyes made him feel uncomfortable.

Cole looked up at Norman, shook his head and said, "Norman, get out of the way."

"No." Norman withdrew his gaze, fell on Cole's face, frowned, and said willfully, "This is my home, and I don't allow other orcs to come in!"

"But Palanch is just a child!" Cole couldn't laugh or cry.

"Not even children!" Norman showed a fierce look on his face, surprisingly tough.

But in the end, Norman couldn't hold back Cole and let Palanch come in.

But he soon regretted it, because he found that he could only sit by the campfire alone, holding his breath, and looked jealously at Cole, who was gently rubbing the little orc's body.

Norman was irritated and kept scratching the floor with his paws.

It's so nasty!

Of course Cole noticed the angry Norman, but he couldn't ignore Palanch, could he?Besides, it was Norman who kicked him into the water. If he got sick, how would he explain to his parents?

Besides... Palanch is a child who really makes people feel distressed.

Even in his arms, he kept trembling.

Cole, who had suffered a similar experience, could probably feel Palanch's fear and pain, but he was luckier than Palanch. Eli protected him so much. Even if he died, Ali never made him feel wronged. Strangely enough, through a short contact, Cole could clearly see the deep guard against others in Palanch's eyes, as well as... longing.

That's why I came to find myself.

While wiping his body, Cole could see more clearly the scars on Palanch's body. Different from his beautiful appearance, these ugliness criss-crossed on his young body. There were so many terrifying scars scattered on a thin and thin man. on the child.

Youyou lowered his eyes, and Cole lightly touched those scars, his heart groaned slightly.

However, because he was afraid of touching Palanch's sad things, Cole turned his attention to the bacon left by the campfire, and picked a tender piece for Palanch.

"Eat more." Cole said lightly.

Palanch's eyes sparkled, he nodded, took the meat, and obediently ate it.

Yes, he was still hungry.

It has been a long time since he was full, and he can only rely on begging for a little bit of food from others, so although Palanch is not full, he dare not eat too much, just eat After eating a small piece of meat, it will not move.

Eating too much of other people's food...will be disgusted.

In the past, no one was willing to give him too much food, except for the person in front of him, he didn't want to be hated.

Surprisingly, however, the man didn't mind.

There was a faint warmth in his heart, and Palanch looked at Cole with a happy expression.

But Norman here is even more unhappy.

It was already very difficult to let that kid into the house, but Cole would give him some food!

Norman glanced at Palanch who was eating food, and said coldly, "I'll see you off after eating."

Hearing this, Palanch was startled, and immediately shrank into Cole's arms, squeezing his small body desperately, raising his chin constantly, and looking up at Cole pleadingly.

He doesn't want to go.

Seeing what Palanch meant, Cole raised his head and said to Norman, "It's so late, let's forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow."

"It's okay, the road is familiar, and I won't get lost." Norman was determined to let Palanch leave.

"It's not a matter of getting lost." Cole shook his head and said seriously, "The jungle at night is too dangerous, just like Norman worried about me yesterday, I will also worry about Norman."

This is the truth.

The woods at night are unpredictable, Cole does not want Norman to get hurt, and the encounter with the rift-tooth spider today makes Cole a little nervous. What happened... Cole didn't want to think about it.

Norman, who was already on the verge of being irritable, immediately became quiet when he heard Cole's words. He looked at Cole, who was slightly absent-minded, and the annoying little orc in Cole's arms. Arm, and hummed in a low voice, not very pleasant: "...Hmph, then wait until tomorrow."

It's a promise.

After all, it was Cole's request, so he had no reason to refuse.

However, before Norman could recover, he realized that he had made a big mistake, because Cole actually let that kid sleep on the soft animal skin he specially prepared for Cole. Stop Cole from letting him go.

And then Cole actually put him to sleep!

Norman felt that he was going to get angry all over, but he couldn't get angry with Cole. Seeing how comfortable the kid was curled up in Cole's arms, he could only squat down by the wall and scratch the rock wall sullenly, but Cole didn't to comfort him.

In fact, Cole had noticed it a long time ago, but he didn't expect Norman to be angry for so long. After Cole put Palanch to sleep, Cole couldn't help sighing when he saw Norman who was still sulking and scratching the wall with his paws. Walking over, he tugged at Norman's arm, and said softly, "Norman, go to bed early."

The tantrum orc looked back at his mate sadly, his mouth pursed.

"Cole is mine." He suddenly said angrily.

Then he put away his paws, turned around, and hugged Cole into his arms unceremoniously.

Being hugged in a daze, Cole came back to his senses, looked at the angry Norman, smiled secretly, and nodded: "Yeah."

"You have to kiss me, or you won't count." In a coquettish voice.

"Eh?"

"Kiss me," Norman repeated, clasping his hands like a child begging for candy.

Looking at the jealous orcs, Cole seemed helpless. He knew that if he didn't do this, Norman might not stop for a night, so he could only look at Norman helplessly, then moved closer, and said softly : "I really can't do anything about you..."

A light kiss, printed on the lips.

Norman finally smiled, hugged Cole happily, as if he wanted to embed him in his body, and then carefully kissed Cole's ear.

At this moment, he felt that he had everything.

So he said good night to his beloved: "Good night, Cole."

"Well, good night, Norman."
