Valspan would smile as Seydon instructed them to 'Do whatever they wanted'. The area would very quickly smell of his sweet stomach as his black eye rolled to focus on the nearest female guard, still trapped in a pillar of dirt after Wiska's tantrum.  Seydon had instructed her to release the no doubt suffocating guards,  but she'd declined to do so before she left.  No doubt the other guards approaching rapidly at the commotion and theatrics would get them out before they suffered any permanent damage,  but Valspan had different plans for this one.<br/><br/>His vines pushed into the thick, brick like pillar easily, the pillar cracking and crumbling as he did.  Before she even knew what was happening,  the Shark woman guard was torn free from her earthen confines and hoisted into the air.  Over the next few moments she was given some time to cough and inhale some oxygen,  a Vine even helping by tapping on her back.  Alternatively, the vines not holding her aloft brushed off the dust and left over dirt from this meal.  Her eye went wide as she looked down to see her webbed feet being lowered into a sweet smelling opening.<br/><br/>She screamed for help as Valspan happily lowered the rest of her still dusty but mostly clean body into the mostly empty chamber of his stomach.  Unlike Wiska's visit,  his sap had been mostly cleaned out by the sea water bath,  so there was only a choice layer of the stuff near the bottom as the screaming guard would be closed in by the petal mouth above.  Her struggles could be seen and heard by all near Valspan,  his rubbery stomach absorbing her scratching and desperate blows without complaint.<br/><br/>With a sigh of contentment,  Valspan sank his roots into the very cobblestones of the street,  firmly planting himself in place while he began the long process of finally analyzing the taste of one of these shark women.  A number of guards had obviously seen him consume their comrade and charged him with fury.<br/><br/>Their rage was blunted against his iron sides,  their spears, tridents and volcanic stone swords deflecting off of and shattering against his bark,  even as they watched the impressions their trapped ally made within him.  They couldn't even put a scratch on this demonic tree creature,  and he let them attack too.  He found it was simpler if he let would be rescuers break whatever resolve they had on his nearly indestructible body rather than hold them back.  It would probably take a few weeks for him to reduce this woman into a nutritious sugary soup,  but that was actually fairly fast for him,  due to all the activity he'd been up to for the last few days.<br/><br/>He kept an eye on Sin and Spectra though,  even while enjoying his meal,  as Spectra had the power to wipe this civilization from the map if she chose,  and he was still hoping for a better tasting of the pirate maiden and her crew.  He wondered what they'd do after this latest development in the emotionally unstable prince's demeanour.
