your exile

A. You try to communicate with him and try to understand him.

He retracts his paws to prevent you from licking him, and you express regret.It suddenly occurred to you that you could help him take a bath.You're camping out by the hot springs tonight, and you know where there's a hidden, warm little pool.You promise him that no one else will see it, and that you will wash and dry him.He nervously agreed, and you wrapped him in a blanket, without anyone seeing you, and sneaked to the hot spring.

The location of the hot spring is indeed very hidden, the water temperature is suitable, and the depth is just right.The orc is satisfied, and you jump into the hot spring with him in your arms.God, you never thought he was afraid of water.Once in the water he screams, struggles like crazy, and bites you hard.You try to calm him down, but he doesn't care, and when he finds himself surrounded by water, he howls like he's about to be killed.All his claws stretched out, grabbing you so tightly that it hurt you so much.

You quickly take him ashore.But as soon as you moved, he screamed loudly again, crawling madly on top of you.You tried to comfort him, hugged him very tightly, and told him that you would never throw him in the water or let him fall.In the end, he finally calmed down, lying on your shoulder and panting, and you asked him if he still wanted to take a bath.

He nodded and shook his head again, seemingly despairing of his fear of water.So you enthusiastically encourage him and promise that you will be extremely careful not to get water in his eyes or nose.

He hesitated for a long time and agreed.

So you wash him really, really carefully.You hugged him with one hand, and gently brushed the water on him with the other.And he is grabbing your hair nervously, ready to crawl on top of your head if something goes wrong.Then you pulled one of his paws down and filled it with soap bubbles, and he put the other paw around your neck even tighter, almost strangling you to death.

The hardest part was washing his brains.You can't just pour water over his head because it will get into his eyes and cause panic.Finally you decide to take him in your arms and rock him gently in the water on his back.It's going to scare him to death because he can't hold on to anything but your arms, and if you let go he'll fall into the water.You reassure him over and over that nothing will go wrong, and finally he believes it, and he lies on your arm, staring at you as you slowly submerge him in the water.He is the first person who trusts you so much, you are so moved, you protect him carefully, and you really don't let water get in his eyes.

You have successfully taken a bath.You washed him fluffy and nice, and you wiped him many times with the big blanket.Then you asked him if he wanted to wash it next time, and he nodded.You asked him if he wanted to sleep in the carriage by himself or with you at night, he opened his paw and pointed at you.

You are so happy.You take him to your bed, touch him, apologize to him, tell him you didn't mean to make him look like this or hurt him, and he accepts.Then you ask him why he always bites you, he behaves very ashamed, you quickly agree to forgive him.You ask him if you can call him Ellis for now because he can't speak and can't tell you his name.He accepts and you are good to go.Ellis is the name of your first pet. It was a petite sika deer. Unfortunately, it only stayed with you for three days before it was released back into the forest.Life in exile is not suitable for keeping pets. Later, the knights found a lot of flannel sika deer to compensate you, but you always remember Ellis.Now you finally have Ellis again, and even though he's only half plush, you still like him.

In this way, you became good friends.You help Ellis overcome his fear of water while he lets you stroke his fur.You have entered the realm of the elves, and you will soon reach the hideout, where there are hot springs and small ponds everywhere, and you bathe every day.You are very careful not to let the water reach Ellis once, and Ellis begins to trust you.He let you hold his paw, and then he sank carefully into the water, and later, as long as you were beside him, he even dared to completely soak in the water and step on the water.

You have finally entered the hideout.The elves warmly welcome you and arrange for you to live in a valley full of flowers.Your tutor has checked Ellis again and told you that Ellis is recovering well.Well, you can feel this too, because Alice is less and less like a beast, and now he is less irritable and less afraid of people.You are settling in stealth.You read books, memorize magic circles, practice magic, and you and Ellis are inseparable.He cares very much about his human belly, even for a physical examination, he does not allow your mentor to explore this part, but he only allows you to touch it.Sometimes he will wrap his tail around your arm, and he will turn back and bite you when he is hurt by you, but the force is very light.You think Ellis has a crush on you too.

But one day, Alice bit you hard again.

Your mentor tried to transform him that day, and tried several transformation spells on him without success.In the end, your instructor plans to use a new magic. This magic has an uncertain direction. It may degenerate Alice into a human again, or it may evolve into a beast.If he becomes a human, he may not be able to transform in the future.Ellis is very upset and says to think again, and you encourage him to try.You told him that it would be great even if he became a human being, and that he could go back to his hometown and live like before, but before you finished speaking, he flew into a rage, bit you hard, and yelled at you angrily .

He bit you so painfully, you got angry and bit his tail hard.In the past, he was most annoyed by you biting his tail, but this time he didn't fight back, curled up his tail and crawled away silently.After a while, you find him hiding under the pillow, licking his paw sadly.

You immediately regret it.You have already understood his behavior and habits, and know that apart from daily cleaning, he will only lick his paws when he is particularly anxious and sad-he hardly licks his paws when he is with you, but now you are arguing and you let him lick his paws. He is sad.

You quickly apologize to him.You coax him to bite your hand and ask him why he is angry.Eventually you figure it out, and Ellis feels like family with you—he thinks he's owned by you, but you let him go home.

You start to have a hard time.

There is indeed a subordinate contract between you, which was branded by you in order to save Ellis.That contract contains a lot of sharing and delineation of rights and obligations, and it needs to be awakened once before it can take effect.But waking it up is too much of a burden for you. You only have a little bit of ability saved, and if you want to keep it to attack the devil, you can't spend it on this contract.What's more, this contract will let you live and die together, and you are already ready to die with the devil, and you don't want Ellis to die with you.
