((OOC:  This is a jointly-written post by both myself and Chirouso, written over IM.  We thought it would make things easier to RP this part in this manner.  We both hope you thoroughly enjoy it!))<br/><br/>Chiro very silently thought it out and grinned, "One thousand feet is all?  I have enough to spare, even with Arget on my back.   The spotters will not be expecting something by the air.  Yes... perhaps if I plasma the one entrance to the rooftops... No... just give Arget extra ammunition."<br/><br/>Lentan nodded.  "Great.  Perfect."  He looked around the group.  "Anyone else have questions?"<br/><br/>In the warehouse, Merelli felt Iln's tongue on his cheek and felt himself grow warm in his bones.  It really had been a long time.  "Time never ages a friendship, my dear," he said.  He looked behind him at the medic, who was standing beside the curtains.  All he did was nod.  Silently, the medic parted the curtains and the first fur, a male anthro-fox, was ushered inside, bound with cords and held in place by two guards.  Merelli looked at Iln, a slight smile on his face.<br/><br/>Iln smiled broadly and nodded her approval, "Thank you, Merelli..." she whispered sincerely, then waited for it, hoping he would feed her.<br/><br/>Merelli smiled nostalgically, remembering times long past.  He ran his fingers down Iln's smooth face, and she murred gently to each touch, smiling to him.  Then Merelli turned to the prisoner.  "Bring him over," he ordered.  The two soldiers complied, taking the prisoner to Iln's side.  Merelli took hold of the fox-fur's arm and head, ordering the soldiers to stand back.  And then, Colonel Merelli forced the fox to his knees, lowering his head to Iln's.<br/><br/>Iln brought her mouth to an easy size, completely engulfing the fox's head, gulping hard.  She had tasted better, so decided to half-savor it.  The fox began to struggle, suddenly very aware of his fate.  The soldiers stepped forward to assist, but Merelli waved them back and pushed hard, keeping the fox as still as he could while easing him into Iln's beautiful mouth.  He tried his best to let her feed at her leisure.  Iln smiled, pulling the fox deeper into her maw, now holding him chest deep, gulping once more and mmmming to Merelli.  She nodded as she gulped one more time, now slurping down the fox.  She could feel his head already in her belly and gently bulging it.<br/><br/>Merelli flushed at Iln's moan of approval, smiling at her in his awkward but affectionate way.  He let the fox slip bit by bit from his hands, now confident enough to let one hand move to Iln's slightly protruding stomach and caress it.  The fox, still fighting fate, kicked his legs ineffectually and squirmed within the she-serpent.  She slurped and gulped hungrily at the legs of the mightily fighting fox, murring as she could feel her belly slowly swell, an electric shock running through the fox slowly once Merelli has taken his other hand from her new meal.  The fox's outline shuddered below Iln's flesh as she he was stunned by the shock.<br/><br/>The colonel ran both hands over Iln's rapidly expanding belly, feeling as happy as he ever had in the past twenty years.  Smiling, he ordered the next prisoner to be brought in.  In moments, a very frightened cougar-fur male was kneeling beside Iln.<br/><br/>Iln gently stroked the fur, trying to assure it that it would be painless as she opened her maw slightly wider than for the fox, trapping the head and neck of the cougar-fur, gulping and murring, nodding.  This one tasted splendid.  She savored each fur-filled flesh, but had to hurry it up.  Might as well let the fox have company.<br/><br/>The medic by the curtains watched, his eyes wide in a mixture of amazement and something akin to arousal.  Merelli could feel Iln's desire to feed faster, and aided her by gently pushing the cougar-fur harder, easing him in to his thighs.<br/><br/>Iln's gut gently gurgled it's appreciation as Iln was being filled, gulping down the fur and slurping, tugging down with her tongue, mmmming as she brought it down into herself, letting it swell further with each gulp, mmmming.  Merelli let Iln slurp down the last remnants of the cougar and ran a palm across her greatly engorged stomach, watching the masses within settle through the contours of her scales.  With a nod to the medic, the third prisoner was brought in and knelt beside Iln's mouth.  This one was younger, a male raccoon.  He looked at Iln's face, seeing her hunger, and instead of showing fear, he grew excited.<br/><br/>Iln saw how much younger and smaller this one was, then looked to Merelli.  "The other one too," she whispered, showing she was going not for one... but for two to fill her belly at the same time!<br/><br/>With a quick gesture to the medic, the fourth and last prisoner was brought in - a female anthro-wolf.  As she was knelt beside Iln, she seemed to accept her fate, closing her eyes and lowering her head.  The young raccoon's eyes widened and he fidgeted.  It was almost as if he<span style="font-style: italic">wanted</span>it.<br/><br/>Iln's maw showed its true elasticity as she not only took the young raccoon... but the anthro-wolf's head as well.  She murred gently, gulping hard and pulling them both in nearly to their shoulders, stretching her throat wide.  Merelli had never seen Iln this ravenous, and he found himself enjoying it.  This time he let the soldiers aid him in easing the she-wolf and raccoon's passage into Iln.  The raccoon squirmed not unpleasantly and his tail stood straight in his excitement.  The she-wolf was as limp as a flour sack.  Iln smiled around her meals to the soldiers and Merelli, then gulped hard, getting around their shoulders.  The soldiers looked back at Iln, unsure how to react, but Merelli kept his smile and enjoyed her gaze.  Despite her resigned attitude, the she-wolf let out the quietest of moans as Iln's lips spread across her chest.  Iln gulped once more, getting past both their chests.  She was indeed ravenous.  The raccoon was squirming more eagerly now, his feelings expressed solely by his tail.<br/><br/>Iln nodded, gently teasing the female as she suddenly gulped.  She did not need anymore accidental arousal when she planned to eat the two.  She gulped hard, mmmming around the two.  The she-wolf and raccoon surged in up to their waists.  Merelli heard Iln's satisfaction and kept on pushing, slowly but firmly.  The raccoon's tail shivered.  The she-wolf's tail even began to show life, wagging very faintly as she was consumed.  Iln felt each gulp add to her already large belly, gently murring against the wolf and racoon.  This filled her amazingly well.  Her stomach was amazingly large, which made Merelli all the more eager to finish her meal.  With great care, but also a small measure of speed, he continued to glide the prisoners into Iln's waiting maw, pushing them in up to their waists.  Both grew suddenly tense as they felt Iln's lips upon their hips.  Iln licked gently, probing their tastes, but all that was doing was making her hungrier.  She smiled as she gulped hard, feeling that strength.  She leaned down silently, listening gently with little interruption as she gulped once more around their bodies.<br/><br/>The two prey were swallowed in up to their feet, Iln's face looking slightly odd with two pairs of shoes hanging from it.  The soldiers stood up and back while Merelli drew close, taking her clawed hand in both of his.  From inside her, the raccoon shuddered and gave off the briefest of moans.  She opened her maw slowly wider once more, then gently with finality pressed her maw shut, and gulped.  She felt both sets of shoes join the other pairs and mmmmmmed.  She looked to him gently and smiled, nodding.<br/><br/>"Thank you, Merelli... it feels good to be able to eat again..." she smiled.<br/><br/>Merelli stroked her face with a hand, then ran it over her massive gut.  "My pleasure, dear one.  It feels good to see you again."  He gave her a small but lingering kiss on her cheek.  "Heal and be strong again,<span style="font-style: italic">anvti firicia</span>."<br/><br/>She smiled.  "Merelli...<span style="font-style: italic">Elda Firicia</span>." She stroked along his flesh and sighed happily, lowering to the bed and then slowly grinning at her large belly.  "I will heal quickly..."
