You didn't really want Amicus to try and start an argument with Neferu just because he got a little jealous. And so you attempted to prevent that from happening as you looked up at Neferu and told him, "Wow Neferu, that pedant looks great on you."
"You think so? Well that's only thanks to you my friend." Neferu replied, while he closed his eyes and gave you a big smile and flexed one of his massive arms a little bit just by moving it. Though this only lasts for a few seconds more before he lowered his arm and then reopened his arms to look down at you when he added, "You must have very good taste indeed."
"Erm well I don't know about that..." You lightly protested, as you rubbed the back of your head with one of your hands.
However, right after those words had left your mouth you hearda light growl come from behind you before Amicu asked, "Marco, what is he talking about?"
"Oh didn't he tell you?" Neferu pondered, before you saw him ove in front of you a bit. And upon doing so he went on with, "Marco here found this pedant and decided to give to me as not only a gift of friendship, but as a way for you and I to establish an alliance together. Or at least help us get there I would assume."
"Ah, I see..." The muscle gutted wolf let out, while he calmed down but still had a large glare on his face.
"Amicus, I'm sorry I didn't tell you about this last night. But I knew that if I did then you'd get really jealous and might have said or done something that you'd had regretted." You explained, while you moved from behind the black and gold marked jackal and stood next to him.
"I.....suppose that is true...." Amicus admitted, as he clamed himself down. Though this didn't last long as the glare was still on his face when he continued, "But is it just me or are you taller then me now, Neferu?"
Again the anthro jacakl just gave a big smile before he said, "Oh, I suppose I am, aren't I? Though I haven't a clue why that is? But I certainly won't complain about it. Nor will Marco I'm sure."
You then saw the jackal look down at you and give you a wink which caused you to blush a little bit out of embarrasement since you did have to admit that Neferu did look even more buff then usual even if he was only a few inches taller then Amcius now. Though speaking of the wolf you saw him look the jackal up and down still with a glare on his face. Though this didn't last long as he then turned his gaze over to you.
And upon so you felt a cold shiver go down your spine when he said, "Well Marco, I don't what you did, but I hope you're proud of yourself?" You then saw him turn away from both of you and then added, "But that doesn't matter right now since I have to go into the cities and gain support. So I don't when I'll be back." You then saw him look at you again from the corner of his eye before he ekpt going, "But maybe it's the best that we have some space from each other for the time being."
"Don't you think ou're overreacting a little bit? LIke I told you a moment ago Marco's gift was only that of friendship and nothing more." Neferu stated, clearly trying to defend your intentions from yesterday.
"Tch, whatever." The black and gray furred wolf let out, as he then walke3d further into the garden and then down a dirt road.
And once he was gone you let out a heavy sigh while you commented, "Great, looks like I messed things up again somehow."
"No, you did nothing wrong Marco. If you ask me, Amcius is just being a bit over dramatic right now. So if you'd like you're more then welcome to accompany me wherever I go until his cooled down. Though if he doesn't then I hope you know that you can count on my support and aid to get you back home once this whole deciding the next Emperor has ended." Neferu reassured you, now with a soft smile on his face.
At first you were caught off garud by the jacakal's offer. Though given that what happened earlier could have gone better you decided to accept the anthro jackal's offer as you just smiled back up at him in return and replied, "Thanks Neferu, that means a lot."
"You are quite welcome my friend." Neferu responded back, befor eh offered you one of his now slightly bigger arms to hold onto.
This prompted you to blush a light pink as you placed both of your hands onto the jackal's left arm. Once you did this you both then walked back into the palace. And after a bit of walking you soon saw that Neferu was taking you to......
