[Sakura]:<br/><br/>*I respond to Zephyr's question with the emotions sympathy, and kindness, but seeing an estranged reaction I simply nod my head making the branches on my head sway about with the motion, but then I Imediately set about gutting the mighty royal ludroth, paying close attention to sever the water storeage gland Id found in the lesser ludroth before, as well as the spongy mane of the beast and lastly taking its skin, all using the sharp spear tip at the end of my tail. And once I had everything I needed, I wrapped the parts in its hide and sat them beside me, then moved to the bulk of the beasts body licking my fangs before stuffing the skinned carcass into my jaws, swiftly stuffing its massive body down my throat using my strong arms, once the hips met my fangs, I felt the neck slip from my chest into my belly and grinned, eminating satisfaction, pride, and joy towards the hunter, and once the hips passed through my jaws, I let my claws drop to hold my growing belly at the size of a beach ball and still growing as I slurped in the beasts tail and gave one mighty gulp, sending the mighty meal into my belly with a great bounce, all in all, my stomach was as large as I was, and my satisfaction was all the greater for it as I rubbed the sphirical brown object of mine and then gave it a pat, knowing all too well time was limited*<br/><br/>*Taking the bundle of monster parts wrapped in the Ludroths own skin, I communicate a sense of Haste, coupled with a twinge of fear as I swiftly depart the river towards the forest, my belly too swollen with prey to risk the detour to the cliffs as the jaggi troupe was likely still nesting there, and they were always eager to feed, finding great pleasure in stealing the berries from my branches, it simply couldn't be helped as I trudged along, my enormous belly almost dragging along the ground. If not for my powerful frame, I would have dragged a trail through the mud, betraying my position entirely to any beast with tracking ability. Which would mean backtracking for several leagues, something I had not the time nor energy to do, if I was caught so vulnerable It would likely mean my life and that was not a gamble I was willing to take, but introducing this hunter whom I've never met was also a gamble, but one with a possibility of reward, and that was a risk I was more than willing to gamble on. As such I swiftly made my way into the hidden cave I called home at long last sighing from the arduous hauling of my mighty belly. I promptly flopped my enormous rear end onto my nest sitting up, just in case this hunter was tricking me, so my arms could adiquately defend me, but taking a relaxed position against the wall.*<br/><br/>*I now expressed an intrigue towards the hunters gear armor and weapons as I sat the royal ludroth bundle to the side of the nest, then further illuminated the idea with a full sentance, but this time the hunter was allowed to hear my voice, he was now listening for it, and it rang in his head, as beautiful as any of my kin, like early spring crafted into a voice as pure as morning dew upon a pines green needles*, "You are unlike those whom sought me out before, yet similar in some ways".
