Episode 10: Here's the Deal

Overview
(link to episode) "Here's the Deal" is the 10th episode in book one of Objectified. The episode starts with Citrus flying into his apartment window and tossing Spool against a wall. He paces around looking panicked as Spool sits up. Citrus remembers that Spool is there and approaches and grabs him with malicious intent, but Spool mistakes this as a romantic advancement and slaps him across the face yelling that it's "not the time". Citrus clarifies angrily that he's trying to kill him, not kiss him. The yelling alerts an assimilated object that slams against the door and almost breaks it open, and the two are startled into silence. Spool flees into another room in the apartment, which is full of tools and plastic sheets(?) and has a metal table at its center with wrist/ankle straps. He wonders out loud what Citrus was going to do to him, and is backed into the room as he approaches. Spool grabs some handcuffs off of the wall of tools and moves quickly to attach himself to Citrus' ankle. Citrus angrily asks why he'd do that, and Spool demands that Citrus takes them somewhere safe or else they'll scream to alert the assimilated object, putting them both in mortal danger. Citrus obliges. Flying over the city with Spool on Citrus' back, Citrus tells Spool he's foolish for putting off the inevitable. Spool wishes Citrus luck with finding someone else to eat after he's gone in all of the chaos, and Citrus flies them to the top of a city building to discuss what they'd like to do. They break the chain on the cuffs, separating themselves, and Citrus proposes (forces) a deal between the two: Spool will hunt objects for Citrus to feed on, and when he fails, Citrus will feed on him instead. With little choice, Spool painstakingly agrees.
