115. Bad.... Guy?

A/N - Gahhh. Sorry for the huge gap in between chapters!

As Lucette stirred the following morning, she arose slightly. But, as she looked around the room, she couldn't help but get the feeling that she was being watched. As she scanned the entire room, she realised that she really couldn't see anything out of the ordinary. How odd.

"Is something the matter?"

A voice calls out to her and, as she looks down, she spots a small terrier dog staring up at her. As she saw the small terrier, her eyes went slightly wide, but then she slowly smiled.

"For a moment, I forgot that you're a dog."

"Yeah, well... I sure didn't...."

As Lucette moved her hand, she patted him on the head. Eros was turned into a dog by Sanctus yesterday, and Sanctus' reasoning behind it was because it would attract less attention if he was like this. Eros kind of agreed, but with the look of his disgruntled face right now, it kind of said otherwise.

"You will be back to normal before you know it."

"Perhaps.... However, what is around here anyway?"

"Pretty much anything you want to do, really."

The sudden voice alerted them both and, as both Lucette and Eros looked towards the sound of the voice, they saw that there, standing just a short distance away from them, was Sanctus. How long was he standing there for? And when did he even get there?

"You sure like to appear in random places, don't you...." Eros grumbled out as he stretched out a little and hopped off of the bed.

"Not as much as you think....."

Eros stopped in front of Sanctus, and stared up at him.

"Is it me, or do you..... Smell weird?"

As Lucette was watching them, she swore that she saw Sanctus' eye twitch at that but, before he could answer, there was a knock on the door, then it opened shortly afterwards. Strolling into the room was Alistair, again, pushing his usual trolly filled with food.

"Oh! Alistair, good morning!" Lucette cheerfully called out to him.

"Morning, milady. I came bearing some food." Alistair parked the trolly near her, and he turned to look where Sanctus was still standing. "Oh, it's you again...."

"Yes, it's me."

Alistair's eyes lingered on Sanctus for a moment, before moving down towards the terrier on the floor.

"Cute."

Alistair then turned to face Lucette again, and he gave her a little bow and then he left the room.

"Did I seriously just see a monkey? A talking monkey, in fact....." Eros questioned as he trotted closer to Lucette again.

"Oh yeah, you did.... That's Alistair."

"..... Well, I can see why you told me that, in this form, I wouldn't raise any suspicions...."

"See?" Sanctus strolled over and peered into the trolly that Alistair left. "I'm not just a pretty face, I'm smart."

"Uh huh...." Eros pretty much blanked him as he stared up at the trolly. "So what's in that?"

"Pancakes." Sanctus answered him as he lifted off a lid. "I take it that you want something down there, huh Toto?"

"The name is Eros!"

"Actually...." Sanctus pointed his finger down at Eros. "It would be better if you go by another name here...."
