((As much as I'd love to play a vorish game of 'fetch' with one of our enemies, I'm going to pass on this particular one. I, myself, enjoy getting to see my food at least briefly before I decide I want to swallow them up! Also, there's the 'tasting' aspect that'd be lost in such a quick gulp! Though, it could actually be really fun, if set up right...XD So, unless Xarces wants her, I guess she goes splat this time.))<br/><br/><br/><br/>As Ryla scurries around picking up the various fallen goodies Odette had left behind, she steals glances at Xarces from time to time, her tails flicking happily back and forth behind her. A part of her was curious - was the little observance about the fire supposed to have a deeper meaning to her? Maybe he was talking about HER. Heat, Passion, Grace, Power, Beauty...oh by the gods themselves, just THINKING he'd lavished such high praises upon her was not only flattering, but incredibly embarrassing as well. Biting her lower lip, her cheeks flush a slight red, and she rather quickly returns to her task of scooping of the trinkets and weapons that could be sold later. Nonono, he'd been talking about the fire. Merely wishful thinking - though it still made her cheeks burn hotly at the thought. Still, he HAD called her beautiful, and the way he said it had been so genuine...<br/><br/><br/>Even how gracefully he'd thanked her for saving his life was uplifting, and...well, it also made it a bit easier to forget about the part where she was completely intent on digesting him. Even now, a part of her (Mainly, her tummy), was upset she'd not kept both Odette and Xarces inside of her belly, slowly digesting them, enjoying their weakening struggles until they stopped altogether, leaving her with just an absolutely stuffed tummy, eagerly churning away at their softening forms. The thought sent a little shudder throughout her body, and she again cast a hungry glance towards Odette, biting her lower lip as she examines the nude form of the recently-healed woman. That, perhaps, was the most unfair part. Xarces had such a firm chest, stronger than average arms...and Odette had such lucious curves, such enticing breasts and shapely hips...they were on opposite ends of the spectrum, and yet she could have had them both to herself, the luscious, feminine softness of Odette and the harder, tougher masculinity of Xarces, just two meals slowly melting away inside of her belly...<br/><br/><br/>The thoughts are enough to make her tummy rumble silently, and again, though she'd just eaten a full-sized human less than six or seven hours ago, the duo looked...appetizing...<br/><br/>"Oh...haha!" A silly little smile crossing her face as Xarces' words bring her out of her thoughts "Saved your life...noooo, you'd have gotten out on your own..." Again, the words bring a little flush to her cheeks, her ears flicking back against the top of her head. She really did do something kinda...heroic, didn't she? Maybe a little selfish at the same time, but still heroic in it's own right. After all, Xarces HAD survived, and if not for her...well, he just might have been churned up inside the human woman's tummy.<br/><br/><br/>Drawing her newly acquired rapier from her side, she leans down and lightly swats Odette on the flank with the side of the blade "On your feet! I'm not letting you out of my sight until we collect from your old man!" ((Pretty much, going to make Odette get to her feet even if she doesn't want to. She is now...a prisoner! >:3 MUHUHAA!!!))<br/><br/>Mention of the various goodies she'd 'acquired' makes the kitsune's tails droop slightly. As much as she wanted to keep all the gold for herself, she WAS technically working with a group...and it was share and share alike. Though her more greedy side was all for taking the gold and simply pocketing it without saying anything, she was technically under contract with the group now. Sort of. Aaaand...they'd hopefully be giving her a share of what THEY found, too...."Oh. Those few trinkets? I know a few people who'd buy them in a heartbeat! We'll split the gold. I'll just take a lil' finders fee, is all. Aaaand, we'll consider it a down payment on how much lovely Odette here is going to get from her father, right Odette?"  If nothing else, the little bit of coinage would pay for a physician to take a look at Misha, perhaps reset her broken wing, or draw her out of her little unconcious state.<br/><br/>Tapping a finger against her chin, she glanced over her shoulder at Xarces, her lips stretching into a pretty little smile "...You're right, too. I do have you and Misha. With you around, at least I know I won't go hungry..." Stopping long enough to fall in at his side, the kitsune girl leans up onto her tippy toes and draws her tongue along the soft, smooth flesh of the side of his neck, a coy little grin creasing her lips "....aaaand I guess Odette will be with us for a while, too. I imagine she's..quite grateful..."<br/><br/>((Have not been feeling too well today, so by no means the most detailed post I've ever done. x3 Sorry!))
