Xarius keeps his eyes on the now, full bellied Mona, as she works to maneuver and squeeze herself through the passage leading back the way they'd come. Having agreed to rub down her recent meal for the night, Xarius was more than a little eager to reach their destination. Hormones already pumping heavily through his veins, the neko couldn't quite shake the image of all that had just happened.<br/><br/>To think the red headed prisoner he'd rescued from the scorched cell, would have been capable of devouring a man whole, had been the farthest thing from his mind upon their first meeting. Of course it hadn't taken her long to tease and hint at the subject, particularly in eating Xarius himself should the ship go down and they all find themselves lost at sea. Of course it was hard to tell back then how much of that was merely in jest. During their below deck battle the fire mage had made comments about eating the pants-less male elf, though the closest she'd come to eating someone was nearly becoming a meal herself during that scuffle. But now, after watching it for himself, all doubts he may of had in his mind had been washed away. It was clear she knew what she was doing as she devoured the injured soldier. Was clear she was having a little fun with it, was putting on a show for him even. A show that had not gone unnoticed, as Xarius had been paying particularly close attention during the entire devouring. Though perhaps not as close as he would have preferred, having simultaneously kept his weapon on the remaining sailors and soldiers.<br/><br/>Mona's teasing had been more than a simple show however, as she'd even offered him a chance to help out. One which he had stepped up eagerly to play his part. Aiding to hoist the soldier's legs between her lips, Xarius had been rewarded with a playful little lick from the fire mages' tongue. He can still feel the moisture on his digits from were the slippery wet appendage had wrapped slightly around his fingers. What's more the moment she was done she'd even reiterated the question of him offering himself up as a meal. While the idea was quite arousing, Xarius had regrettably declined the repeated offer, stating that he'd owed her only one meal, though there was always more than one way for him to find himself inside her.<br/><br/>The final thing that lingered in his mind from their previous interaction had been her kiss. Xarius' lips still glowing warm from Mona's touch. He'd not been expecting it that much was certain, and while a peck on the cheek was one thing, few could compare to the presence of a woman's lips against his own. Not to mention the intense heat of her tongue as she'd drug it across his cheek, tasting and teasing him in a single stroke. Xarius had felt his blood pumping in that moment, his prisoner pants tightening and his heart raced in his chest. Her lick, her kiss....her mouth, the very same that had swallowed up a fully grown man mere moments ago against his own. His eyes had fluttered shut during the brief little kiss, though instead of speaking once the moment had past he merely let out a soft, barely audible sigh of happiness as Chira and Mona exchanged jeers.<br/><br/>Following her all the way to the cargo hold, Xarius strides behind the barrels of rum to join Mona. His eyes are met with the image of her undressing, one that he appreciates quite a great deal given the way he stares. "Those prison rags do oh so very little to complement the beauty of your body." the paladin comments, while taking in her image a moment longer. The swell of her weakly struggling stomach was one area of particular interest, the expanse of smooth, tightly stretched skin which was now entirely exposed for him to see. "Your right, not much in the way of cushion around here....but he's a strong soldier...surely he'll hold up long enough." he teases reaching in to playfully pat the bulge of Mona's tum.<br/><br/>Xarius was more heavily dressed than, Mona, and even though he wasn't entirely certain where the night may eventually lead, as he could still end up joining the soldier inside for all he knew. He was comfortable enough with his predatory ally to let his guard down. Taking a moment to hastily remove the borrowed armor he'd been sporting the entire time he'd known Mona, the neko sets the chain chest piece aside. Pulling it and the rags below free from his body, revealing the hardened, toned chest of a male born into a militarized lifestyle, yet leaning on the thinner side, as was fitting for one who preferred fast movement and ranged combat.<br/><br/>Standing before her half naked with only his ragged prison trousers on, Xarius smiles seductively towards the recently fed mage. "Shall we get to the rubdown then? Looking at you, sure makes me eager to do all kinds of rubbin'" he openly flirts. His feline ears standing tall, slited eyes wide as he gazes intently upon her, and his furry tail flicking eagerly behind him all the while. Stepping forward, he closes the distance between them, placing a strong hand firmly upon the expanse of her tum. He grips the bulge tenderly, splaying his fingers as he begins to slowly rub in tight little circles. All the while leaning forward, pressing his chiseled chest against her naked skin. Bringing his lips to her cheek where he gently places a kiss of his own, allowing his lips to drag feather light against her skin, leading them to her ear. Where he faintly breathes deeply, hot and humid air spilling against her lobe. "Would you like me to start with my hands....or perhaps, you desire a more thorough, bodily rub down?" he poses the question, pressing his pelvis forward ever so slightly for emphasis, bringing with it the burning hot bulge that even now strains against the restraints of the tattered prison garb that passed as his pants. Xarius leaving all options on the table, as tonight they were not only celebrating the digestion of a soldier, but their victory, and soon to be fully fledged freedom.
