Dusk was coming up alongside the others of their group as their conversation continues, tilting her head to the side curiously as the bard talks about the situation that had come from the two groups meeting.  "I do not understand.  It<span style="font-style: italic">is</span>like eating any other meat or animal.  What does it have to do with them being weak?  It doesn't need to be a challenge for it to be worth it.  The whole point is to appease hunger, not to have a challenging encounter.  If that were not the case, I'm sure the lamia would not have taken the majority of the night in the temple to devour all of the lizardfolk's remains, because they were certainly no challenge to overpower.  As for more experience of the meal, while you may enjoy it, that comparison doesn't seem to apply.<span style="font-weight: bold">Hunger</span>is to consumption as passion is to mating.  If you are eating to satisfy hunger then it isn't comparable to mating without passion because it has its own reason and 'emotion'.  I will not argue it misses whatever you may consider appropriate 'foreplay' however."  Then the feline's ears lower a little as she's blamed for the conflict, obviously not appreciating it.  "I only acted when the elf was threatened.  They started the fight even if I struck the first blow."<br/><br/>The kitsune stays silent, hoping that her refraining from speaking will prevent what seems to be a comparison of views between the bard and Dusk turning into an argument like she had had with him.  However, she does glance back to make sure the last two of their group were moving to rejoin them after finishing whatever they doing.
