Just then, two arms grabbed his waist from behind. A ticklish feeling rumbled through Jylan's body, and he yelped in surprise.
"BUTLER! THERE'S AN INTRUDER IN HERE! I CAUGHT HIM, THOUGH!" the holder of the arms called.
Jylan, realizing who it was, pried the arms away from his waist, turned to Sebastian, and elbowed him in the gut. "You're so flippin' loud!"
"OW! THE INTRUDER HI – oh, it's you."
"Took you that long to realize, my idiotic prince?"
Sebastian stuck out his tongue.
"Ha! You look like you're four!"
The pup, sensing another game, jumped in between them and yipped. He looked expectantly at the two of them, but only Sebastian reached out an arm to ruffle the pup's fur.
"Did something happen while I was asleep?" Sebastian asked. "I woke up to you looking dead on the floor and him ramming into your chest."
