*** Inside the house...***<br/><br/><br/>The sight of the catgirl's open mouth, the hungry look in her eyes, was actually rather frightening. Meera was so sweet, so cute, so giggly and bouncy...but Anastasia had not been completely absorbed in her own thoughts when the fact she'd eaten FOUR people was mentioned, nor the fact that those four had not found their way back out of her alive. The partially-digested armor peices scattered around the exterior door was proof enough of that. Lifting her hand defensively, she took a half-step back, her voice nervous and wavering "M-Meera? What are you doing? I thought we were--"<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic"> Gluk! </span><br/><br/>The sensation of Meera's mouth encompassing her little hand made Anastasia's heart flutter into her chest, and she lightly squeaked in a mixture of fear and surprise. The warmth of the neko girl's mouth was so incredible, the sensation of her tongue traveling so slickly across her fingertips and the palm of her hand was...actually rather pleasant. Her tongue felt so amazingly soft, so smooth and just slightly slick with saliva that, with every pass, smeared across her hand or pooled between her fingers. Blushing fiercly, Anastasia braced herself for the inevitable swallow that would pull her further in, squeezing her into the tight confines of the neko's throat, and then beyond...<br/><br/>It was a swallow that never came.<br/><br/>Blinking in surprise, Anastasia gazed up into the catgirl's eyes, only to find them looking towards the door. She wasn't swallowing her?<br/><br/>Instead of gulping the delicious fairy down, Meera simply began to suckle on her entire hand like an oversized lollipop, her jaws working up and down, lightly 'chewing' on the fleshy digits entrapped between her soft little lips. Gosh, she hated getting nervous. She really should not have been hungry - she had such an enormous meal the other day, and she'd been perfectly sated, and likely should have remained as such for another day or two do come. Instead, getting nervous just made her think of food, and the fairy certainly SMELLED good, but she was a friend...but a really TASTY friend...ugh, it was a compromise. Just a little taste, something to calm her frazzled nerves.<br/><br/>"Sorry..." Meera murmured around her mouthful, suckling and slurping and chewing on Anastasia's hand like a chewtoy.<br/><br/>The fairy just gazed on in complete and utter puzzlement, watching and FEELING the neko's jaws work around her hand. Her little teeth were mostly humanlike, though a smidge sharper, even on the molars. Still, it was clear she was being gentle so as not to hurt her, and that was even MORE confusing. She wasn't trying to eat her..? She was just nervous? The temporary 'thrill' of fear passes by in the blink of an eye, and Anastasia giggles softly, working her fingertips along the soft, slimy back of Meera's mouth, then swishes her hand back and forth to feel her inner-cheeks. Everything was so amazingly soft, so warm and wet...it was...actually rather PLEASANT. Actually...it felt<span style="font-style: italic">really</span>good...not that she had any intention of seeing how good it felt were her hand to slip further, into the dark recesses of the catgirl's throat.<br/><br/>"Ewwwww!" Anastasia said again, topping it off with another giggle "Your mouth is all wet! Ewwww, kittygirl slobbers!"<br/><br/>Ears flattening against the top of her head, Meera finally drew her gaze away from the door, looking apologetically at her smaller fairy friend "Mmph, nomph...? Mrrf..." With one last slickened 'sluuuurrp', she pulled Anastasia's hand out of her mouth, blushing faintly "Oh gosh, sorry...I just...I just do it when I get nervous. You SMELLED good, and you TASTE good, so I thought...Um...cause...." Ears wilting, she finally let go of Anastasia's hand " Sorry...Mmph, just...I won't do it again."<br/><br/>Aww. She looked so sad. It wasn't like she was HURTING anything, either. She'd not tried to eat her, after all, something she likely could have done quite easily. Poor kittygirl...she really was trying to make friends  "Oh..um..." Anastasia began, lifting her hand right back up to the neko girl's lips "It...felt kinda good, actually! I don't mind it at all! Just don't swallow me, okay?"<br/><br/>The offering of Anastasia's hand seems to brighten Meera right back up, and she snagged her wrist with a happy-sounding "Eee!" Popping a finger between her lips, she began to lightly suckle and slurp, sighing at the flavor. So tasty. It wasn't like having a full tummy ,but at least it was a little calming. Oh gosh, what was happening out there?! "Mm, thanks! Sorry I got you all slobbery...you just taste really good." Even around a mouthful of fairy finger, Meera's managed to speak at least somewhat clearly "I hope they're all okay, and I hope Alura is okay, too!"<br/><br/>Hardly had she said it before Alura appeared in the doorway, spotting the strange little scene. Anastasia, looking completely calm and complacent, standing beside Meera who had the little fairy's fingers nestled between her lips, suckling quite happily. Judging by the little red-faced blush Anastasia had prominently displayed on her face, she was clearly enjoying the attention more than Meera knew. Completely obvious, Meera bounced happily up and down upon Alura's arrival, jerking Anastasia's arm up and down with her.<br/><br/>"Ack! Ack! Ack! Ack! Ack! Okay, okay, the finger can come back to me now!" Anastasia yelped,  pulling her finger back from the excited catgirl before turning her attention to Alura. Exhaling a breath of relief, the little fairy darted forwards to hug her sister, throwing one arm around her waist...and smearing a gratutious coating of Meera-saliva on her cheek with the other hand "...Meera said hello!" Laughing softly, she snuggled herself close, thankful that her sister was okay.<br/><br/>Meera, still bouncing happily, practically danced forwards and threw her arm around Alura's other side "Yaaaay! You got outta Yumina! I bet she's SOOOOOOOOO mad." Seeming to think on that for a second, Meera's excitement fell drastically, her tail drooping behind her "Awww...she's gonna take it out on me now. But, it's good you're not all gurgled up. What happened out there?! Ooo, and who's your friends?! I heard so much shouting - is everything okay? Where's Aniel? Ohhh, and I told you i'd watch Anastasia! See? I did a good job!" Seemingly quite pleased with herself, a broad, happy smile stretched across Meera's lips, her tail flicking happily back and forth behind her.
