November/December/January holiday post. Here are some ideas:

• snow: first snow of the season/ever, making snowpeople, forts, or snow angels, snowball fights, snowed in
• warm: hot drinks, warm blankets, crackling fires, busting out the winter coats and socks, baking in a cozy kitchen
• holidays: decorating, picking out a tree, preparing the big holiday meal, exchanging gifts
• activities: shopping, cooking, sledding, ice skating, cuddling with someone special
• new year: par-tay!, toast, countdown, midnight kiss

Wolf made a face. As if he'd eat someone in front of their precious patrons! More importantly, as if he'd make trouble for Darin!

He follows his master over to the guy in question, all smiles. He's not the least bit threatening. Darin's definitely the more intimidating of the two, but that doesn't make Wolf harmless. Or weak. He takes the guy's arm in a firm grip and, if he doesn't get up willingly, Wolf will pull him out of his seat and drag him outside.

Thankfully, he comes along without too much fuss. They never want to make a scene with someone who's about to vanish into thin air.

"C'mon. Boss said he wants to chat outside, so let's head outside."

The look he gave the guy dared him to fight this and he was pleased it worked. Still smiling, he led the way out back, fully aware that his hound would keep the guy from running if it came to that. So getting to the alley was no problem really and he stretched as soon as he got there before turning around to grin as he leaned against the wall.

"You know, I love sin. It's great. But I fucking hate assholes. Especially ones like you."

[uppies]

Once they were outside, Wolf lets the guy go. If he runs, that's just a better excuse to chase him down. But that would be Darin's choice, not his.

"What is it people say? Love the sinner, hate the sin? We do it the other way around here."

[vanishedking]

God he loved his dog. His quips were always the best and he didn't even try to hide his approval. Grinning, Darin gave that fluffy head a ruffle before looking back to their victim.

"I don't allow anyone to pull the kind of bullshit you did. Lust should be a choice. You were trying to steal her freedom. In my realm, there's only one punishment for that. And, bonus, it's great present for my baby boy here."

A soft laugh and he patted Wolf lightly on the butt.

"Get 'im, boy. Don't leave anything behind." Not something you could ask of a normal hound. Really the reason why the ones in Hell would always be superior.

His master's word is all he needs to shed that soft, human appearance. Though, in his opinion, he's cute in either shape! Even if his natural one is full of fur, teeth, and claws. All the better for tearing Darin's targets to shreds. And humans? They're easy to tear apart. Bone is the best protection they have for their vital parts and bone is nothing when met with hellhound teeth.

Which, of course, go straight for the throat first. It's always best if they can't scream and draw unwanted attention.

Darin watched as the violence took place, smiling as the man was torn apart. He could see him reaching for him to get help even though he couldn't say anything but the Devil King just leaned against a wall and took out a cigarette to smoke. Best to keep watch to make sure no one accidentally saw this. He didn't feel like cleaning up extra messes after all.

"Thing you fail to understand, buddy? I'm never gonna save you. And because my dog ate you? Well, you're gonna go to my kingdom below. Which means you're gonna suffer more than any other soul because, well, I'm here and not keeping those bastards under control." He chuckled a bit. "But thanks for feeding my pup. He deserves fresh blood as treats."

[uppies]

He can tell by the tone in Darin's voice that his Master isn't speaking to him, but this poor expiring fool. Is this guy even able to register human language at this point? Even if he can hear it over the gurgling and gnawing. Even he can even manage higher brain function while catastrophically bleeding out. Well, it's not Wolf's business. Wolf's business is making sure there's not a trace of him left. Easy work for a hellhound.

It only takes a few minutes for this particular guy to simply cease to exist. Even the blood splattered on the ground below are licked clean. And Wolf? He shifts back into his human shape, clean and pristine as if he didn't just rip a human to shreds and devour him bones and all.

"That was fun, boss!"

[vanishedking]

Not a drop of blood left behind. It was like nothing had ever taken place here. Best hellhound around. No surprise really since he was the one who had picked him, after all. Chuckling, Darin went over to his pup and cupped his chin to lean down and kiss him. He could still taste the blood there and he loved that this taste satisfied Wolf.

"Good boy. Think of it as a holiday treat."
