Kitara smiled softly as she felt the large suckers stroke across her scaly form, she looked at them with a curiosity and stroked her claws gently around the edges of them.  She nodded as Xylath talked to her...in accordance with age, Kitara was a year older than Xylath and had probably had further education given to her than Xylath, but she had less experience regarding the outside world, less social understanding, less general knowledge...most of her own education being honed to what was around the labs at the time rather than an actual school.  There was one other thing...Kitara had never known what she would have looked like, had she not grown up as a human then changed...her genetic splicing had took place before she even fully developed as a fetus, her current form was the only one she had ever known.  Kitara's tail begun to wag with contentment as she was told she wouldn't be alone and that her first proper...the term friend loosely fit in here, but there was a bit of extra space...maybe owner, or mistress would have fit better though it was hard to tell as the pair of them bonded in at least some means of companionship.  She felt herself get lowered onto the shell and walked around on it, looking around at the scene around them, her clawed feet making a gentle patter as she walked about.<br/>"You know...the scientists brought me food and drink all the time and I never really thought about where all that food and drink came from.  Maybe I was eating people all the time and didn't know it."  She pondered.  "But then they said my purpose was to save people...injected me with all kinds of toxins, venoms and illnesses to see how my body reacted to them...some were worse than others, though my body always pulled through.  They told me that I have an advanced biological cellular structure...or the abc's of fighting ailments and regenerating body tissue as they commonly referenced it as."  She stopped by the side of the lure and looked out over the people that had been gathered up then swallowed nervously...still seeing the images of Tina being swallowed by the lioness in the back of her innocent mind.  "Are they all food for the scary woman?"  She asked Xylath, wondering if she knew any more about the current situation.
