The man with the kukri looked annoyed. Fearing he would stab the kid, the one with the shield took matters into his own hands. But instead of snatching the pups from Lily, he tried to coax her. After all, that was the best way to deal with kids.
"Hey Kid," he said, leaning in. "You might not know this, but those are monsters, not puppies. You shouldn't be holding them like that. Besides, your parents might not let you keep—"
"They are Lily's! Big Bro gave them to mommy, and mommy gave them to me," she said, taking a step back into the elevator. "Don't touch them."
A vein popped in the man's forehead, but he still maintained his smile.
"Girl, they are direwolves. They are not something a kid like you can handle. Don't worry, if you're afraid that your big bro or mommy would scold you, I'll go talk to them myself. Just give them—"
"Lily said no!"
"Alright, I've had it."
