Just a few hours earlier, Phantom had been happily trotting throughout the Abbey gardens after Copia deemed his behaviour trustworthy enough to explore outside, which many agreed was an ill choice from the Papa. Much to everyoneβs distaste, the young Quint Ghoul had decided that wrecking some of the freshly watered rose bushes would be a fun prank to play on his elder packmate Mountain. It was unsurprising that the typically timid Earth Ghoul would protest angrily at the idea of his hard work being destroyed as he caught Phantom in the act, sneaking up beneath a tree with his intentions obvious- but no one would expect him to throw the younger into the lake on the other side of the Ministry.
So here Phantom sat; pathetically flicking their tail against the bathroom floor as you ran him a bath to cleanse him of the muddy grime which had somehow reached into every crevice of his body?? β Seriously, Mountain needs to grow a pair! Itβs not like I was actually going to touch them, yβknow? β He exclaimed with hurt evident in the undertone of his voice. Obviously he felt ashamed as he was now sitting in YOUR private washroom, naked, and dripping all sorts of monstrous lake dirt onto the once pristine tiles.
