Stoks made it back to Wormwood after the long night of giving the King of Uunderwere his undivided tickling torment. Every step he made back toward Wormwood, he heard the tyrant’s laughter growing wilder, seems that Torturous Tartarus was doing exceptional patriotic work at the White Wolf Inn. He was satisfied with all the goods he got. Soon, met up with his equine companion, Dusk Brush halfway to Vulture’s Plume Tree.

“Was it a good session, Rowan?” Dusk asked, walking next to him.

“It was heavenly.” Stoks chuckled, which made Dusk roll his eyes, “So, have Fenrikk and Z’nth made it to Wormwood?”

“They are waiting for your return to the tree.” Dusk replied, and soon, they made it back to the tree too.

“Wonderful, I shall go up, you secure the tree itself down inside.” Stoks said, patting Dusk’s shoulders, to which Dusk nodded.

Stoks went inside the tree apartment and up the stairs, he walked to the top and saw the red fox sitting next a slumbering white wolf on the bed. He walked over to the bed to which Fenrikk looked back.

“How is he?” Stoks asked.

“He is tired after the escape, he needs some rest.” Fenrikk said, smiling genuinely.

“You think you would be all over his feet if he were asleep.” Stoks joked.

“He’s been through enough just tonight.” Fenrikk started, “Plus, you’re going to get us both in the morning.”

“You are a man of your word, maybe I should start trusting fox more often.” Rowan said, as he lit a fire on the stove.

“I wouldn’t go that far…” Fenrikk smirked.

“You know, I have a feeling that G’glynn will be searching for Z’nth soon enough, you both are welcome to lay low here for a while.” Stoks offered, which made Fenrikk stop and look at him.

“You would do that?” Fenrikk asked.

“Of course. I maybe a tickle hunter, but I’m not heartless.” Stoks said, “And it is a perfect hideout, I don’t think anyone is Uunderwere or Haa for that matter is even smart enough to see it for what it is. Well, I know that there are a select few who can, but I know for a fact that G’glynn isn’t.”

“Thank you.” Fenrikk appreciated.

“Just stay as long as you need.” Stoks said.

Fenrikk smiled and looked back at Z’nth, sleeping peacefully. He put the covers over Z’nth, and got up.

“Oh, and if you steal anything from me, and/or leave this place without filling up your end of our bargain,” Stoks began, “Then I will hunt you down myself, and tickle you for everything you got.” Stoks finished the threat.

“Well noted…” Fenrikk said, blushing. It seems the panther is smarter than he thought.
