Rescue Dogs: Chapter Twelve
Cecil observes Cicero and Valorous playing off each other.
Cecil Hobbes, an ex-PE teacher disgraced and looked down on in his hometown, has a new partner: Sir Valorous King, a knight of the realm, once a child of prophecy, and Cecil’s stalker.
A few months into their relationship, Cecil finally convinces Valorous to see a therapist, on the condition that Cecil attend one himself.

It was probably the most amount of food that Cecil had ever seen Valorous eat in one sitting, and he turned that over in his mind as Cicero ordered another round of drinks for the table — Cecil and Coshel were still on beers, but Cicero and Valorous were now sharing a jug of sangria.
Cecil had seen Valorous drunk before — not infrequently, he’d go out in Lashton with people Cecil had never heard of or people he had, would go out and get fucked six ways from Sunday, or go to some underground fight scene, or do something else entirely. Regardless of what he was doing, he’d sometimes come home tipsy and stumbling, would fall into bed with him.
