I stretched as I stared into the campfire before glancing up at Atlas who was examining his arrows. Charlotte and Delilah had fallen asleep a few hours ago, Delilah had gathered up a pile of leaves and flopped down on top of them. Charlotte, however, chose to fall asleep up against a tree.

If she isn't sleeping in a strange position she instead tries to find the hardest surface possible.

I let out a sigh as her tail flailed around before I caught it holding it still.

It's like trying to control a dog when it knows you have a treat.

I looked over at Atlas when he chuckled. "What are you laughing at?" I asked as I scowled at him.

"Just how you and Charlotte treat each other. It's interesting, to say the least. Is that how you treated all of your contracts?" He asked looking genuinely curious.

I rolled my eyes. "I tend to stay with my contracts for years so of course, you think my methods seem a bit strange compared Delilah's methods. After a long time with a contract you start to get used to almost everything about them, it's just a part of the job," I explained.

"I would assume so. Although I do enjoy Delilah's eccentric-ness, it's calming and entertaining in a strange way," he told me as he let out a small chuckle.

It was my turn to let out a chuckle, "You have strange taste in women especially, if you find Delilah of all people calming. It's like having a small dog that will never shut up and probably drugged your coffee with a hallucinogenic mushroom."

"Wow, you're really holding a grudge about that age thing. But Delilah's not that bad, sure she tends to attack before thinking but she knows when to hold herself back. If she didn't my mother would be impaled on a tree branch," Atlas told me.

"Didn't she nearly impale her on multiple tree branches?" I reminded him.

"Well, if you've known Charlotte for years how did you treat her family? I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a good person for summoning Delilah but, then again anyone who summons a creature like you or her has got to have their reason. So what was Charlotte's," he told me.

I froze as he spoke, releasing Charlotte's tail allowing it to flail around. Then I let out a heavy sigh as I glared at him.

"You are a fucking idiot. Did Delilah tell you about any of the rules we abide by when you summoned her or, were you too busy staring at her tits jiggling in your face? I can't tell you something like that especially if it's one of the reasons she summoned me. Besides, that is none of your fucking business," I snapped at him.

Atlas looked at me with wide eyes. "Okay, I'm...sorry I asked," he whispered.

I chose to ignore him as I stared into the fire. Before long though Atlas had also gone to sleep.

When Charlotte's tail started flicking against me I broke out of my daze looking over at her. She was tossing and turning in her sleep, letting out small growls as she curled into a small ball.
