A Chase In The Garden

Rhen's anxious restlessness manifested through a series of barks accompanied by fervent scratching at the floor. Sensing the puppy's discomfort, Armel swiftly scooped him up into his arms.

"Are you in need of a potty break, Rhen?" Armel inquired. 

In response, the puppy let out another bark, seemingly answering his question.

"I suppose you are. Let's go outside," the teenager replied, understanding the pup's message. 

With careful preparation, Armel retrieved a leash he had recently purchased upon his arrival in Gantz. Recognising the potential trouble that could arise from allowing Rhen to roam freely within the palace, he made sure to be proactive this time. The previous incident involving the Mederians had entangled him in Kiev's dispute with Kyren, a situation he vowed not to repeat.
