Getting chewed on was no fun, at least for Seth.
If not for being able to feel pain I would be screaming or/and running away, go complete mob psycho on this guy if this was an anime.
Sadly it is not. //yet!
So ignoring the man I looked around. I saw buildings i haven't seen before, streets that look different orchestrated and at the corner I saw another man watching out like a scout .
He was probably this chihuahua's partner waiting for him.
....
Red has had his fair share of humans, some on the verge of death barely said anything, others more unfortunate ones screamed, cried, sprinted gasping for few extra breaths before being hunted and consumed.
Few stupid but brave souls decided to fight, using anything from pipes, stones to bricks.
Heck he even once saw college kid trying to hold his own by a mechanical pencil... A fucking pencil.. hu as if ordinary steel and aluminum could harm a ghoul especially that crazy women.
Her aura was like a toddler on acid he had seen that type of energy before. It comes from those crazy ones which hunt for the fun of it.
A normal ghoul can live off a adult human for 2-3 months easy, hell if they store the meat well and drink enough coffee in between, 5 months is doable without any withdrawals or breakouts.
He knows this intimately cause he survived 6 while hiding from those damn hypocrite cheating cockroach.
Food for thought.
On the topic of food this man barely uttered any sound on being chewed on. This was by far the weirdest one red had seen bar none.
The snack.. man was still alive, how red had no idea.
This sweet biscuit had summersaulted out of God knows where, embedded himself like a protester in the middle of the road refusing to budge.
He didn't show any pain but red could feel sadness and sorrow from his eyes, much like a short dumb blonde guy with cat whiskers and a fox in his belly .
Red wanted to sing to him to ease his sorrows "I know how you feel inside, I've been there before Something is changing inside you And don't you know? Don't you cry tonight".
....
Seth was unable to feel anything but being looked like he was some strange biscuit gone bad, hurts.
"This day is turning into an episode of hot ones that I didn't sigh up for, anymore drama and I'll turn into a meme".
Emotionally spent and unable to feel his body Seth's attention turns inwards. Apart from feeling no pain and losing his sense of touch all his other senses had been enhanced to the extreme.
"This situation is oddly similar to when I went to the sea for the first time ... seems fishy."
He doesn't know exactly what trade off this was or when he made such an exchange but he could feel, it was more of a promise than a trade.
A somewhat temporary promise between him and the world like a vow chaining both.
