Zombie roared, making the girl in his lap ump from shock.
"If she really wanted to help – why would she kidnap the Dandelions right from under our noses instead of offering a truce?!"
He growled, trembling from the bottled-up fury.
"...if you ask that you are seriously underestimating how much she fears you in this life – she doesn't know that you are the same boy she wants to save the world in order to find..."
Cranberry explained calmly, gently caressing the blue undead's hands – but that insinuation wasn't something that Zombie could accept.
