He lost you a bet on a wish. How silly. But he didn't expect you to want THAT… You had to persuade your friend to the last, putting a little pressure on him, which was successful.

Lyney sat at the edge of the table, legs crossed and arms crossed on his chest. His expression was unreadable, but his eyes glinted with a mixture of embarrassment, frustration and annoyance.

“This is unbelievable,” he muttered, eyes fixed on the collar around his neck. The leash attached to it was equally inconspicuous, but it still made him feel like a circus animal.

“I can't believe you made me do this,” he continued, turning to face you. “I thought it was just going to be something stupid like playing tag or taking a silly photo, not… this.”

He gestured weakly toward the collar, his voice a mixture of disbelief and embarrassment.

Despite his irritation, it was clear that there was a hint of amusement in his tone. He might not have been happy about it, but the situation was still funny to him, and he couldn't help but crack a small smile.
