The More Explain, the More Complicated It Gets.

Quincy stood alone in the street, disoriented and unsure of where he was. He had once seen on television a heartless owner abandoning his pet, taking it to a strange place and then leaving in a hurry. Could it be that ...... he had been abandoned by Regulus, that the honourable Regulus had deliberately brought him into the city to abandon him? No, no, how could that be, His Excellency Regulus was such a good man, how could he have abandoned him? But how could His Excellency have disappeared in the blink of an eye? The young werewolf looked around in confusion and was on the verge of tears.
At that moment, the door of a shop down the street was flung open with great force, the sound of which startled Quincy, and Regulus peered halfway out of the door: "Why aren't you following ...... What are you doing standing around in the street? Come on in!"
Quincy saw Regulus peeking halfway out of a shop and waving to him, he knew he had not been abandoned and nearly burst into tears as he pounced on Regulus like a bear in excitement.
"Oooooooooh, Don Regulus, I knew you wouldn't abandon me!"
Regulus dodged his brown bear-like embrace with a look of disgust. "What are you talking about? Cut the crap and get your ass in here!"
Quincy was relieved this time, no longer imagining things, and followed Regulus closely, even wanting to turn into a tail and stick to him.
The shop was a clothing store. A sweet-smiling saleswoman greeted customers as they arrived. Her name was on her badge: Ivy.
"Goodness, Mr Regulus, it's been a long time since I've seen you here. The shop has new clothes for this season, would you like to try them on?" Ivy asked enthusiastically.
Regulus avoided her, seemingly afraid to meet her eyes. "No!" he pulled Quincy in front of him like a bulwark against the cannon fire, "I'm here to buy him clothes today!"
Ivy looked Quincy over from head to toe and wondered, "Isn't the ...... outfit this gentleman is wearing one you once bought from this shop?"
"...... How do you know he's not wearing the same style and it's the same one I bought once upon a time?"
"Because this brand is only available in one shop locally, ours. And the most important thing is the size!" Ivy gestured, "This gentleman is taller than you and your dress is one size too small on him." Then she gave an expression as if she had been hit by a bullet, "Ah ...... ah ...... in your clothes ...... Mr. Regulus, is this your boyfriend?"
Regulus covered his chest and looked like he was going to vomit blood. "No!" he shouted.
"Then why is he wearing your clothes?"
"Because he has no other clothes to wear! I wouldn't be spending money in your shop if he had!"
Quincy was very worried that if he touched Regulus now, the very angry wizard would immediately spill blood from his seventh organ. He hastened to help, "Yes, I don't have any other clothes! Because I wasn't wearing anything on when I arrived at Lord Regulus' house ......"
