Volk is working in his room with the door open not very wide. Enough space that someone small could wriggle their way in. “Hey Volk!” a Loud tone rang from the maw of Tyler as Volk’s hammer destroyed an invention he was building due to the sudden sound. The Device goes with a soft boom “Pup…I have been working on that for a week…” Anger on his breath. Tyler annoyed by the pup comment flashed his teeth at the giant for less than a second, but Tyler relaxed speaking in a smug volume “I know a seccccret of yours.” Volk scoffs “Really and what one would that be?” Still in his smug speech “The one about Angela. The big one.” Volk stealthy reaches for his firearm to witch he keeps under his work desk. “Oh really do tell pup.”
Now using a superior sounding voice “I know that you’re….” Volk still maintaining eye contact with Tyler. “In love with Angela.” Volk relaxed slightly, but blushed. Pulling his hand away from the fire arm “No I don’t, get out.” A sly smile forms on foxes nuzzle “Okay fine, I’ll just tell her myself. And you know how Benkarians feel about cowards.” Volk knew they didn’t think them worth their time. “You’re an evil little thing aren’t you pup…” Tyler rolls his eyes “Oh look at the time.” Tyler starts to leave Volk’s room. “Wait!” still blushing “Tyler I am sorry, you are not a pup, and you are a fully grown Todd.” Tyler waited at Volk’s door. “Well?” Tyler inquired. Volk opened his stone wood door like it was nothing. Tyler led the Giant to Angela office. Volk opens the door, and walks in to Angela’s office.
“Angela?” He Asked. Angela Shouted “Be with you in a second Volk I’m making some medicine for Captain Trixie.” The sound of a hammer striking a nails and be heard. Volk disregards it, and tries to look cool by leaning up on one of the beds. He was now getting nervous. Angela soon came out of her back office and sauntered over to Volk giving a warm reassuring smile. “Okay now that’s done what can I do for you Volk? Do you need stiches?” Volk answered. “No.” She Asked “Medicine?” He responded “No.” She requested “Then what big guy?” lightly tapping his muscular arm. Volk stammered as Angela hugged his arm “Well…erm…uh…t-that is to say, uh…” Angela knew on Volk pulse, the blushing, the stammered speech, and the one night he black out, that he was going to explain his feelings for her, she patiently waited for him. He exclaimed “I love you Angela.” And he snuck a kiss from her. At first Angela was surprised, but kissed him back, warping her arms around his head. Meanwhile on the other side of the door Tyler giggled to himself, as he had nailed the door shut, to prevent Volk from escaping.
The door handle jiggled. A roar of anger came from the door “TYLER!!!!!!” Tyler belted back “I HAD TO MAKE SURE YOU STAYED PUT VOLKY!” The moment the word Volky flew out of Tyler’s mouth. Volk’s thick arm rammed through the door, so reached for Tyler. Luckily for him, he was just out of the wrath filled grasp of Volk. With this new knowledge about Volk’s strength Tyler started to flee the scene with extreme haste. He had reached about half way down the hall when he heard a yelled “OW, OW, OW, OW NOT THE EAR!!” Tyler bolted to the Crow’s nest a place he knew to be safe.
Back at the office Angela had grabbed Volk by the ear. In a stern voice she growled “Volk! Stop that this instance.” The now powerless giant yielding to doctor. “Please stop it hurts…” Angela glared the order “Do you promise to not chase after Tyler, because of what he said?” Volk nodded in acknowledgement. With that Angela let go of Volk’s ear. Volk rubbed his ear, so sighed. “I’m sorry Angela I lost my temper.” Angela shakes her head. “I’m not the one you need to say you’re sorry to.”
Volk now felt bad. His ears, and tail drooped. Angela lovingly kissed him on his cheek. “Now could you open the door please?” He nodded, so started to kick the door after the 2nd kick the door was opened. Volk moved a side to let Angela out first. She jokingly spoke “What are you a prince?” Volk blushed again this time Angela did not see it.
“Did you know how I felt about you Angela?” He pressed. “Volk remember two weeks ago when you drank that green stuff?” She queried. “Yes I blacked out.” Angela giggled “Well that night you came to my office and said and I quote ‘Angela you’re an Angel, I love you from the deepest part of my mind, body, and spirit.’ You sounded sober when you spoke that night. Then you passed out. I got some of the crew to help drag you to your room.” Volk was speechless. Angela continued “So when do I get to meet your family?”
Volk mind raced with the thoughts of “Why does she want to meet my family…” Angela questioning “Volk you’re doing that creepy silence again.” He snapped back “Oh..uhmm..well…I don’t know, someday soon. Why don’t we meet your first?” Angela started to stammer “Well…er…uhm..about that…uhm…well…” He had gained an intrigued look on his face. Angela stop talking slowly inhaled then exhaled to settle herself “Fine nest time the ship make port in Shen Nung We can meet my parents.” He beamed “Okay Great.” They soon reached the deck of the ship.
Volk shouted “TYLER?!” Tyler was still hiding fearful of Volk’s wrath. Angela Added “DON’T WORRY VOLK WON’T HURT YOU!” He peered out looking down seeing both Angela and Volk on deck. Tyler snuck down, so quacked “Are you sure Angela?” She nodded added “Volk even has something to say to you.” Volk moves begrudging to Tyler and mumbles “sorry…” Angela insisted “Volk.” Volk fumed “Sorry.” Angela once more “Volk.” Volk tenses up but speaks in a calmer volume “Tyler I am sorry, for my outburst earlier. Do you forgive me?” Tyler in a smug tone “Sure thing Volky. I forgive you.” Tyler walk away back to his room. Volk ready to blow his top, until Angela hugged his arm, an in a proud voice “Thank you Volk that was very big of you.”
The Crew shortly learned about Angela and Volk. His drinking has been lessened a great deal some would say by 50%. Much to the joy of the Crew, and Captains.
