"So, dog, where exactly are we going?"
Lak Hok growled, his grip tightening on my chains as he dragged me forward. "I'm not a damn dog."
"Really? Could've fooled me," I mused, my third eye shifting independently, rolling lazily toward the scarred fur and pointed ears atop his head. "You've got the ears, the tail, and you growl a lot. Seems like a dog to me."
Lak Hok's teeth bared.
"I. Am. A. Hyena."
I let out an exaggerated gasp. "Oh no. So different."
James groaned from beside me. "Arthur, please."
"No, no, mouse, I wanna know!" I smirked, tilting my head toward Lak Hok. "So, Hyena, is that like a subspecies of dog or what? You got different barking techniques or something?"
