The paralysis would wear off, to Delphine's relief - But too late for her to do anything! She was bound, her limbs securely snared...The lovely Eidolon's low hiss teased from her lips, her violet eyes narrowing as she squirmed in place - More for the look of it, than for anything else - testing her bonds.<br/><br/>No, there was no way she was getting out of those. Not anytime soon. Her talons could've sheared through the rope, but at this angle they'd only cut into herself...And that was something she wasn't willing to risk. Her tail twitched from side-to-side as the ghoul loomed over her, grinning...She could tell it was waiting for her to try, the blank hunger in the creature's eyes warning her of the likely result!<br/><br/>As a matter of fact - once the initial surge of fury had ended - she was<em>curious</em>. Delphine had expected to be killed, not taken captive...What could they possibly want from her? She'd been spared...But why?<br/><br/>Delphine had an inkling. She might still be new to this world, but she learned<em>fast</em>.<br/><br/>Those lissome legs crossed - the best she could manage, at any rate - as Delphine canted her head to the side...Debating how much to tell him. But Master hadn't told her *not* to tell...And while Delphine understood violence and death as only a true predator could, she'd prefer to avoid them! (At least to herself!)<br/><br/>"I'm...not<em>sure</em>," she admitted, her full lips curving in a little pout. "Master summoned me to protect him, to be his companion."<br/><br/>She racked her memory for a term he'd used...<br/><br/>"-'Eidolon'," Delphine said. "He called me an 'Eidolon'...Whatever that is."<br/><br/>She'd leaned forward slightly - the best she could! - her bust straining against the binding ropes...Arching a slim eyebrow, with no hostility to her voice.<br/><br/>"...What do you want with me?"
