With his proposition made, and his magic trickling into the intestines of Odette, infusing and healing her body, there was little else he could do save for sitting back and waiting. Listening closely to see what those predators around him would decide, both Odette on releasing him, and whomever had eaten Odette on releasing her. No matter what they decided it was bound to be an interesting experience for him. As he imagined this could end in a number of ways, the most obvious being Odette releasing him into the predator's stomach, only for her to then be set free as he's left behind to digest. Of course the predator could also release Odette, and she could subsequently free him on the outside, or perhaps even do something to escape, keeping him in her tummy where she seemed to believe he belonged. Then there was left the possibility that the predator didn't truly intend to set her free and was going to digest them both regardless, in which case he'd be steadily churned by Odette's stomach, while she's churned in a stomach of her own, the experience, he imagines culminating in her body breaking down around him, only for his weakened form to be slowly finished off by whatever predator had eaten Odette..... it wasn't how he'd have liked things to go, but at least he'd be a part of Odette in the end, albeit via the combined pile of the waste they'd become.... admittedly it was not the most ideal of fates to look forward too.<br/><br/>Of course there was still the obvious question as to who, or what the mysterious predator of Odette was, the predator he'd be fueling should she decide to stick with the latter option. He didn't have too much to go on, only being able to feel this other predator through the tightly stretched flesh of Odette's own stomach. He feeling the walls of that stomach squeezing and working against her, feeling the process of digestion playing out all around him, as the thick, wet fluids of the other predator are lathered over Odette's prey filled belly. He wondering if this other predator could feel his movements too, if perhaps he'd be able to appease them, and please them through the walls of another stomach...it was worth a shot at the very least, should it be decided that neither he nor Odette would be leaving the way they came in.<br/><br/>Almost as if to answer his most recent question, a moan rings out around him. The sound muffled by a second tummy, as the voice was not Odette's own, despite he imagining the healing he had given her to feel rather good in comparison to the acid bath she was being exposed to.  He shifts within Odette's stomach, pressing outwards in an attempt to replicate the moan he'd just heard. Soon feeling a pair of hands rubbing in against him from the outside he is once again treated to the feminine voice of Odette's predator. This time however instead of talking only to Odette, she was responding to the deal he himself had offered.<br/><br/>"That's right, keep me and let her go, that's the offer I'm extending to you. " he reiterates, giving her plenty of time to think it over as he reflects upon the voice he's so recently heard. There was definitely something familiar about it, one that he'd heard before and in the recent past... but who was it...  His thought process is broken up as she speaks again, seemingly decided to decline his offer, because she was under contract of all things... "Contract?" he responds, confused at first. Though upon further hearing her voice the pieces began to fall into place. The kitsune, the one that'd accompanied that harpy sent to watch after him.... though he'd only met her once, he recalls her image distinctly. Was this truly who he was inside, who was working to digest the woman from around him? "Ryla?" he bluntly asks, pressing an ear to Odette's tum as he wanted to hear the answer.<br/><br/>Now knowing who's tummy he was in, a small part of him regretted her denial of his proposal.... she'd been quite beautiful after all, and if he was to be digested by anybody, why there where much worse ways to go.... and given the choice, he imagines she'd have been in the top tier of his list.....not that a list of that nature actually existed of course. Even so, it seemed she would not be digesting him, and now it was merely up to Odette to decide what happened next. He was looking forward to getting the chance of interacting further with the kitsune he'd only just met, and if those interactions began with him being introduced to her stomach, via Odette releasing, or being digested around him, he'd make the most of it, vowing to leave an impression in her tummy the likes of which she'd not soon be forgetting.
