Ryu's comment just made Arokleth giggle more. "Aw, you don't like being cuddled?" she teased, leaning forward and hugging Ryu from behind in a very unusual (For her) display of affection. "You're more interesting than anyone else I've seen today, so you're going to be my entertainment for a while. Well, I guess I could play with the others, too." she explained. "Of course, if that doesn't appeal to you..." she trailed off, leaning in closer so that her head was right next to Ryu's. "<span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">I could always devour you instead.</span></span>" she whispered into his ear, her other voice appearing again. Even though she whispered, her voice echoed unnaturally through the entire cave, and her tentacles tightened their grip to make movement almost impossible.<br/><br/>She held Ryu for a short while, long enough to make her point clear, then the tentacles dissolved into a black liquid which flowed across the cave floor like it had a mind of it's own before creeping up Arokleth's legs and soaking into her dress. "Well, is it still raining outside?" she wondered.
