"Are you ready?"
The sudden boisterous voice snapped Douglas out of his thoughts, allowing him to register the presence of a muscular Beastman with a mane of red hair similar to a lion.
The man, who wore nothing apart from torn shorts, stood before Douglas, his gaze filled with slight disdain toward the latter.
"If you don't have anything to say, I'd rather you not stare at me like a lost puppy." The man derided with Douglas realizing his mistake.
"Sorry." He apologized as he rose to his feet.
Snorting, the Beastman remarked. "I had thought someone different would be here, who are you meant to be?"
"Al… Lord Alex sent me in his stead to learn the ways of your people."
"Hmmph, he must be busy causing chaos in another location."
Though inclined to agree with the Beastman's assessment, Douglas intoned. "Is something wrong, sir?"
