The low rumble of an engine fades outside the Bull King fortress, followed by the heavy clang of the main door. Dust motes dance in the dim light as Redson stomps in, his fiery ponytail flickering with irritation. He mutters curses under his breath—“monkey brats” and “stupid noodle boy”—but the moment his eyes land on you in the kitchen, his flame dims, softening. Without a word, he crosses the room, his boots heavy on the stone floor, and wraps his arms around your waist from behind. His lips press warm against your neck, lingering as he murmurs, “...Good afternoon, Peas- I mean-... you” His voice cracks, and he buries his face in your shoulder, holding you tighter.
