Xarces stands open mouthed blinking at the kitsune for several moments. "Wow....just wow...have you missed the point or what? Did you really just say all that?" he states flailing his arms for effect. "My previous actions have nothing to do with the matter at hand....but if you are so adamant about pursuing them, so be it we'll go there." his eyes glowing bright as he looks to the female before him. "You really have no idea what has been going on do you? ....Are you truly so daft as to believe I do nothing? Do you not realize I only revert to such tactics once I am already in the grasp of the enemy? Surely you must have noticed the moans coming from those blackscales, the manner in which they found it harder to focus, harder to move, the way the priestess dropped mid combat to resort to pleasuring herself? When I find myself inside a stomach I combat them with pleasure dear, not pain. Though the elf's dagger may bring about blood and destruction, they are not anymore effective than my own methods I assure you. To kill an enemy is one thing, but to make an enemy into an ally is something far more powerful..... that is what I aimed to do, to subdue them from within." he sighs feeling as if anything he said was falling on deaf ears.<br/><br/>"The only person my actions endanger is myself, Choosing to subdue an enemy from within and through pleasure rather than damage is a direct risk to me and much less to anyone else....For starters I am much more adapted at surviving the brunt of an actively digesting  stomach, as apposed to the slash of a lizardfolk's claws. Not to mention if a predator is busy chewing on me, then they cannot likewise be doing so to any of you. Once they have me in their stomach, they are often satisfied and thus do not seek to devour the rest of you. and yes, I did heal the priestess, why you may ask? Because she did not deserve to be gutted, that's why. I'll point out that she did not attack directly herself, and she would be much more useful to us alive.....a concept you seem incapable of grasping...." Xarces shakes his head and frowns "This is the thanks I get for checking up on you, for giving a damn at all."<br/><br/>His wings ruffling behind his back "Synys, dear...I don't think you understand what you may potentially be getting yourself into." He looks about the room they currently stood in once more "What if....say, you just consumed a demonic spirit? Had you thought about that? Thought that one through? How much danger would you be putting the rest of us in if say you where to be possessed by an ancient evil on account of your actions?" he lets this concept sink in for a moment before continuing " Given the demonic history of this place surely this is not out of the realm of possibility......Tell me then how is it you claim your actions put only yourself at risk and are in any way relatable to that of my own preference for flirting with my own digestion?"
