Lion Head Mesa you didn't think that i'd come back alive

for @Maegi , whenever you have time!

The life of luxury was good for Charles. He enjoyed being pampered, bathed, taken care of in every way he wanted. He didn't deserve any of this, didn't fully understand how it had come to him, but he was certainly going to enjoy it while it lasted. in his experience, it did not usually last very long.

The coywolf was in his fur-covered room, laying on softness while he tore through a delicate piece of bird, caught particularly for him, as if it was a BigMac. He tore into the flesh and left pieces on the bone as if it meant nothing; for the scavengers, which he now no longer was. Already Charles felt a haze of berries — oh, how he loved the berries, because they made him numb, if only for a little while — and there were yet more piled in the corner of his beautiful rooms.

He didn't deserve any of it, and he loathed himself for taking it all anyway, but he was sure going to enjoy it while it lasted.
