Breaking Through

Just before he left the ranger's house, Angor was pretty surprised to see Shadow coming in with a grim look on his face.

Shadow looked up and quickly began to admire Angor's bright hair and eyes. "Are you absolutely sure you won't join my collection? I promise you'll always be the best one."

"Good timing, I have a question," Angor said as he ignored Shadow's nonsense. "What did you do to Toby after I passed out? Why is he still not up?"

Angor assumed that Toby had been like this for five days since the accident. He would have already brought Shadow to justice if not for Toby's seemingly healthy condition.

Shadow looked at the bird on Angor's hand and frowned. "My my… I did nothing to it. I was almost killed by that damn pact, and I got no time to mind the little b*stard."
