<blockquote class="uncited"><div>The silky soft velvety walls of her insides kneaded against his body from every angle as they prepared to break down the unfortunate wolf. Slowly as the seconds passed Rafe could smell the acidy scent becoming thicker and thicker.</div></blockquote><br/><br/>Rafe was a little surprised by how deceptively soft and silky the walls were, embracing him as if a lover. It was something of a unique feeling, as stomachs tended to be far less pleasant in his experience, but he knew from the growing scent of acid that it was soon going to grow far, far more hostile. He could feel, faintly, the soft massaging of a hand however, that must mean...<br/><br/><blockquote class="uncited"><div>"You see..." Lilium speaks to her prey for the first time, although muffled surprisingly her voice was sweet and pleasing to the ears. "Nothing is more valuable to a kitsune then the life of another inside of her belly. By taking your essence into my own I increase my life span. You do however have a few moments before your life ends. Please, by all means beg for your life, tell me of this "Deal""<br/></div></blockquote><br/><br/><blockquote class="uncited"><div>Cautiously, Sherani shuffles toward Lilium and gives the kitsune's stomach a quick poke to gain the speaker's attention. (And to confirm that her eyes and ears aren't playing some really creative trick on her.)<br/><br/>"Hey, buddy?" she asks. "I dunno who you are but, um... if you're from around here, which clan are ya with?"</div></blockquote><br/><br/><blockquote class="uncited"><div>"No!" he suddenly spoke up upon his mention of hacking his way out. "That won't be necessary sir! We can hear you!" He tapped his finger on his chin, unsure of what else to say now that he had joined the conversation with Lilium's unexpected breakfast. "Umm... I hope you do not mind a few questions? I believe you understand our need to ensure you are not some ruffian who will attack us if we release you. Do not worry, it will be quick."</div></blockquote><br/><br/>Voices! Two female ones and a male, one of which was assuredly whomever he had landed within. The realization that he'd ended up in someone rather than some<span style="font-style: italic">thing</span>raised Rafe's hopes considerably, only to have that brief raise in hopes dashed as he comprehended what she had said, and felt the stomach squeeze and grind roughly against his body. He gave a muffled yelp as it compressed him tightly, the wolf's attempts to steady himself offering him little assistance in resisting being forced into such a small, easily digestible ball. He gripped his wand tightly, knowing that with the potency of the acids his hide was being soaked in that he might very well need it very soon. He had to make this quick.<br/><br/>"Aha, two fine ladies and a gentleman, I am glad this can be handled civilly. I am Rafe Mohan, scion of the Mohan clan, famous throughout all Alnura!" he began, clearing his voice a bit, easily masking his terror with the calm and measured demeanor of a salesman. "As for the deal, let me address my captor directly, then I will<span style="font-style: italic">gladly</span>answer anyone's questions. All of them, in fact, to the very best of my ability."<br/><br/>"Anyways, I am a powerful wizard and due to that power and my connections, I can provide you with far more than<span style="font-style: italic">one</span>simple meal. Digesting me will only increase your lifespan<span style="font-style: italic">once</span>, I instead offer you the chance to do far more than that. For starters, I could - and would - loyally serve you, providing mystical firepower for you and whatever cause you may or may not support. Which I assure you is<span style="font-style: italic">most</span>useful, as I know Kitsune have a habit of accruing enemies due to their feeding habits, enemies I could assist in protecting you from without you having to lift a finger. I also have a variety of spells which can easily be used to ...<span style="font-style: italic">procure</span>more living meals as well and would gladly forfeit some to you, enabling you to increase your lifespan beyond what you would be able to do on your own, AND with no more effort on your behalf than it takes to expel me from your stomach."<br/><br/>He paused, briefly, letting the first half of the offer sink in before continuing, busying himself with not sinking too far into the growing pool of acid growing beneath himself.<br/><br/>"But wait, it gets better! You recall my mention of clan Mohan, yes? We are, by and large, adventurers by trade. Adventuring is a exceptionally lucrative business, and the Mohan family vault is simply<span style="font-style: italic">stocked</span>with priceless magic artifacts. I would quite easily be able to procure from it a number of unique, mystical and potentially ancient artifacts as payment - all I would have to do is inform my family that you saved my life and sought to repay that deed."<br/><br/>"Of course, this all requires you let me loose. My family wouldn't let anyone access to the vault without an actual Mohan vouching for them, likewise, it would be extremely difficult to assist you with any troubles you may or may not have and digesting me would net you only one meal, whilst if you let me go I promise to provide you with additional meals. Exchange of one meal now for many,  many meals in the future - ones that would be in addition to what you acquire on your own."<br/><br/>"In the end, it's your decision - free meals, wealth, and my magical and martial capabilities at your disposal, or a single meal who is armed to the teeth with magical trinkets and spells of his own and is prepared to use them if<span style="font-style: italic">absolutely</span>necessary. I would prefer it not come to that however, you all seem like very nice folk and to come into conflict would be unfortunate."
