"Do you think maybe I should just eat him all the way?"  Melody asked Col as the four of them traveled together.  "I mean...it's not as if he makes any sense...he'd be better off just becoming part of me"  She then smiled at Kai and petted him gently on the head.  "You're so obedient, I don't think I'll eat you unless I'm really feel hungry and there's nothing else to eat...though someday, it's likely that I'll eventually have to swallow you, I'd like to hold off as much as possible."  She said before kissing him delicately on the cheek with a slight blush across her cheeks...this was a new experience for her, a longing to keep someone, not just alive but close to her body...maybe even inside her...but she wanted to keep him alive, she wanted to hear him talk to her whether it was outside her or as a part of her body and a frightened voice in her mind...she would enjoy every moment of it.
