[Eren's reflexes are good as a human, let alone a creature built for them. He snaps his jaws and catches the jerky in his teeth, then continues stalking forward, undeterred. Pathic...]
[This stupid fucking mutt - maybe he wandered into its territory? He needs to read up on the bizarre wildlife here to avoid these situations, though he's starting to think it's a personal vendetta from an angry god.
He throws the bread at it next and takes the opportunity to back up a little.]
[Is this his life? Really? This podunk shithole gets worse every single day.
And no one around seems to care about the fact he's going to mauled in the center of town. Sounds about right.
Well, guess what dumbass wolf - he can boulder and he's going to book it to the nearest little hovel to climb. Sorry (???) business in question. He doesn't particularly care.]
[Akechi Goro is scrambling up the side of a building like a frightened chicken; I repeat--
[This has actually done wonders to lift Eren's mood tonight, so he should be thanking Akechi for that. He doesn't let the bit go yet. Standings at the bottom of the hovel, he growls and snaps, the fur on his back bristling dangerously. He throws his head back and lets out a howl. Hopefully Captain Levi isn't nearby to recognize it and come ruin his fun.]
[Bullying an innocent guy!!!!! Just a little dude!!!!!!!
Great - this little shit is just waiting and now he's on a roof, somehow, yet again. In an effort to confuse the creature's two functioning braincells, he tries to look for a sneaky path away from this scenario towards the backside of the shitty building. Maybe it can be an out of sight, out of mind thing.]
[He'll let Akechi think that it works for about one minute before dashing over to the other side of the building and snapping at his ankles as he tries to climb down.]
[Great! Fantastic! It has enough functioning braincells to understand 'front' and 'back'. Ankles, nipped at. His patience, gone. Whatever god Akechi has pissed off-]
[She thinks he is Eren? Something in his soul almost snaps in two - a brief fleeting feeling of rebellion blooming in his chest, a memory of a sensation of two ethereal beings ripping and tearing from his spirt and-]
[Intense, immediate rage flows through his whole body, expression flickering into something else against his will, for the briefest moment. Only a second, only a glimpse, only-]
[A plastered, paper thin smile reappears on his face, hand holding the screen steady on the culprit. He rarely has regrets, but speaking to this piece of shit and aligning himself with him-
Ugh.]
I was going to ask for your assistance on what to do here, but it seems that's no longer necessary. Unless he's so lost to this beast form that he won't even understand the voice of a friend.
[Whatever. Get wrecked! This is the best Eren's felt all day, and he needs that right now.
[If Aubrey hadn't said something, it would have become obvious anyway; as soon as he hears her voice, his posture relaxes, his tail starts wagging, his head jerks curiously to the side.
[He watches Akechi's expression break. There it is. And now he'll never get Eren to leave him alone.
[So! There’s a lot to take in here. Like hell if Aubrey would ever mistake these two, and it’s nice to see Eren happy and all, but— oh who is he kidding he’s in puppy form she can’t scold him like this. Or ever, really?]
Hi, Eren. Hi, Akechi. [So much for today’s search for fantasy-drywall. Aubrey tries to rein her voice back into something less affected, but there’s a fond, wry amusement in it anyway.] How did this happen? Are you on a roof again?
[The dilapidated shingles of someone's shitty business/home or whatever else it could be is a solace caught on camera. The edges visible from where Akechi's squat down, one arm holding the side for balance. The physical distance worth less than the mental one - it keeps Eren from biting his legs and Akechi from saying something he'll regret.
There's a witness on livestream, after all.
Calm. Feigned embarrassment to cover up the other feelings surging through his body. Relax. Be understanding. Kind. A prince.]
It's a funny situation, isn't it? While this isn't what I expected, I appreciate your help on the matter. It seems I'm unwelcome in his presence no matter where I go - though I was minding my own business. He decided to act aggressively unprompted.
[This asshole. Can't take a joke, Akechi? Eren's not being aggressive at all, see? He sits at the base of the house, throws up his head, and howls. It was all a simple misunderstanding. If he catches Aubrey on the camera again, he'll give another little bark, as if that's his side of the story. Look how pleasant he is being!]
[Acting aggressively unprompted… hm. That’s not something Aubrey hasn’t encountered from Eren before. He seems to be in good spirits now, though....]
Okay, okay. [She sounds a bit less amused.] I’m not gonna play peacemaker here [lord knows that went well last time], but… seriously? What am I missing here?
[It’s unclear who she’s directing it to. Aubrey offers a small wave for Eren, then shuts her video off; she stays on the call, though.] And where are you?
[Wolf herder was the original intent - a note he keeps to himself as he slides the phone back to voice, pressing it between his shoulder and ear. Both eyes on Eren.
With the witness off camera, Akechi predicts it will take all of five seconds for him to start acting up like a petulant furry child.
Unrelated to all of this, the sun's out - it seems like a good day to request his gun back.]
I'm unsure. I simply went to the highest point I could find in the moment - we're both in town though.
[He gives a little hum and-]
Judging by his reaction, he's quite pleased to see you. If you're nearby, I'm sure he would appreciate you paying a visit. Perhaps you could even play with him. He seems to have an excess of energy.
