"Ah Tharne… check this out." Vaal said as he walked to a certain stand with a very tall monster with dog ears behind it.
Azel's eyes twitched impatiently.
He didn't know why but that feeling of being found out, he could currently feel it crawling up his spine.
Every instinct he'd honed over years of combat was screaming that something was wrong. Vaal was being too friendly, too helpful, and too convenient.
"Welcome to my stall." The dog-eared monster's voice was deep and gravelly, completely at odds with the cheerful setup. "These are Hell buns, however amongst the pile... one of them is packed to the brim with pepper enough to burn your tastebuds off."
Azel motioned to all the girls and even Rene. They each took one bun from the displayed pile, the pastries looking reddish with some kind of sauce glazed on top.
Azel picked one as well, as did Vaal.
"Here goes nothing." Vaal raised his bun in a mock toast before biting into it.
The rest of them followed suit.
