For a moment, he didn't seem to hear Watanuki. He hovered there with a frozen smile as he listened and waited, observing every slight change, the flinching, the light gasp... Break imagined he could hear Watanuki's racing heartbeat pounding in his head, a steady thump-thump-thump. It was pleasing

There was noise outside--people talking, though he couldn't make out what they were saying. And what sounded like some sort of big dog. Scowling, Gale pulled himself from the window and its view, turning to see who was coming to intrude on his little sanctuary.

He immediately stiffened as he saw Break coming in, drawing a long, harsh breath of displeasure. Was he drunk? Drunkards were barbarians. Only adults got drunk, and they were bad enough sober--when they were drunk, they just became terrifying brutes, cruel overbearing savages it was best to stay out of the way of to try and keep from attracting their attention or their ire. DisgustingAnd that fox.... That same damned fox. There weren't as many tails, and he didn't see any claws--must be sheathed like a cat's--, but it was definitely the same one that had ripped him up. And come to think of it, that was one of the same adults that he had attacked that time, too.... He must be with the tall man from the bathroom

Luffy heard the snick of the lock falling into place. Knowing that now, it was safe to leave the door unguarded and truly hunt, nose going down even as the child ducked for the couch. He still smelled the darkness, and the lingering smell of the phantasms, dark and dangerous and foul. He could smell living blood, but if it were a child, it was still the same creature that had hurt his master. The growl was low, a sub-vocal hiss in his throat, and he was moving almost at the same moment the child tensed to run, teeth bared in a threatening snarl. It did not attempt to head him off, letting him reach the hiding place and circling it like a shark. Knowing where his prey was hiding and feeling a calm level of acceptance that it was going to try to hide, but that he was in control and could drag it out at any moment and tear it to shreds without much work

Not drunk, just a little mad. It wasn't difficult to pretend, but it was fun to exaggerate. And he had hoped it would be a distraction, but from the sudden rustling and lack of response, he figured that things weren't going quite according to plan. He frowned, pausing near one of the chairs. The noise came from further off to the right, but he didn't know quite what it meant

Hmm? Do we have company, Luffy?

Gale could hear the words of the silver-haired man, could see him smiling and bending down, and his expression soured further still as he tried to edge further away. (Bad things happen when drunk men smile.) It wasn't easy to do, in such a small space, and the fox--Luffy, its name was Luffy--was circling the couch, growling and snarling and being even more threatening than the affable human peering under the couch at him.

He was in front of him, hair hanging down around his face, still smiling as he offered candy--ohgodohgodohgod where were his eyes?--and asked him to come up and sit with him. For a moment, Gale only stared at Break, stomach rolling and clenching in a mix of fear and revulsion and something like sick horror. (You're drunk. You're dangerous. I saw what you did to those hellhounds. What do you want from me?The pair were pretty effectively distracting him from Watanuki's presence, and even the odd, cloying smell in the air. He narrowed his eyes, response snappish and harsh, angrier than
