Seeing as Chronos wasn't denying it, or even remotely trying to laugh at his own joke, Astaroth understood he wasn't kidding.
Looking down at the cat, he frowned a bit.
The cat was passing through his legs affectionately, seemingly more excited to see Astaroth than Chronos.
Astaroth kneeled, looking at the little feline. The strange pelt's moving colours and the deep black eyes of the cat gave him slight vertigo, as their eyes locked.
The cat stopped sauntering around him and suddenly jumped up toward Astaroth's face, its own maw splitting into four, as a bottomless chasm appeared instead of his mouth.
Astaroth reacted immediately, catching the little monster before it reached him, and throwing it at the opposite side of the room. The cat landed on all fours, face returning to normal, before licking its front paw and grooming its face.
Only one chapter today, as I was out all day, running important errands. But I made it bigger, to compensate a bit.
Enjoy :)
