Largely sober at this point, because the fact that she was drunk before had slipped her mind entirely, she wrapped an arm around Tem and offered a smart salute to the Immolator as she rushed up the stairs. Mazz had her share of moments of bravery, but they were definitely not moments when she was surrounded by open flames!<br/><br/>Once Mazz had spent a wild fortnight with a horse cocked sculpture named Richter, who had explained much to her about the world of art and anatomy. Apparently most people in this world of flesh had what Richter referred to as "a good side". Not the "good side" that the ooze seemed to have so much trouble staying on, but rather one of a person's profiles that was minutely more attractive than the other. Watching Scarlet ascend, her hair dancing with the flames and becoming one as she strode up the steps, Mazz was firmly of the conviction that her "good side" was definitely her back side.<br/><br/>"That ass... am I right?", she murmured to her newfound friend. When he failed to respond quickly enough, she gripped his belt buckle and pull the waist of his pants out enough for her to sneak a peek at his erection, "Yeah. That's what I thought! Your little buddy agrees with me!"<br/><br/>She giggled coquettishly while pressing herself close against him, "You can call me Mazz! I am going to rescue you! But..." The slime girl bit her lip, her eyes settling upon the unconscious twin as she nervously assessed the situation. Scarlet had told her<strong>"Whatever it is, it isn't natural, or good. It tried to kill, or rape you. Or both."</strong>Which was fair enough... But what if he wasn't beyond help? She wasn't ready to abandon him to the cold embrace of death without considering the moral ramifications of letting the flames consume him.<br/><br/>Ugly though he was, maybe before he turned into a weird bitey monster man, maybe he had a wife and family. Maybe his brother had a wife and family! Maybe they both had wives! OH! Maybe they would sometimes switch without telling them! That was kind of hot! But maybe the wives children weren't entirely from the twin they married but rather from the twin who had snuck into their bed like some sort of changeling rapist! What a pair of absolute scumbags!<br/><br/>But just because they were degenerate monsters, was that reason enough?<br/><br/>Mazz took a firm grip on Tem's shirt and ripped it off of his torso in a single sweeping yank. She put herself to the task of shredding it into long strips, smiling broadly at him while she braided and wove the bits together with the practiced ease one might expect of someone who had converted clothing into a rope during an emergency before, "So we should probably talk about it now, so there's no confusion later. I would count it as a personal favor if you be sure to spill your seed in Scarlet instead of me, I think she would like that! Or you know... shoot her between the eyes if that's your thing." She paused in the middle of her work to give Tem a reassuring pat on the groin, "I don't want you to finish with me... even though in last year's "Roquemada's Almanac to Entangling the Lower Beards", the slime is ranked as the number two "Exotic Pussy You Have to Try!" right after Succubus! They say it's because of the amorphous nature of an ooze lover's body! Also the lubrication coupled with our unique physiology! It's described as a million tiny mouths suckling wetly over every inch of skin, worshiping your very essence after just a taste of you! Begging you for more and more, imagine a vessel so tireless, tight and undulating that many men lose their minds with sheer pleasure!"<br/><br/>The ooze seemed done at last with making her makeshift manacles. Mazz turned and bent herself over so that she could tightly bind the Twin. It was hard to discern if the fact that she was giving Tem an unimpeded view of her thick ass was intentional or just some sort of harlot instinct that slime's had, "You try and save your yogurt for her! I think it'll be good for her confidence! Follow me to safety, please!"<br/><br/>She took hold of the unconscious and bound weirdo's boots and began dragging him behind her. As far as mad dashes to safety went, she was surprisingly leisurely about the whole process, but then she had other things on her mind, "So did Scarlet mention me at all? My name is Mazz!" She reminded him. When Tem did not respond, Mazz glared over her shoulder irritably. He responded by wheezing and coughing while he crawled to keep pace behind her, "That is not an attractive look, buddy. I honestly don't know what she sees in you. I always thought Scarlet wanted someone who would take charge in bed and really give her the business! S... oh, you have to BREATHE!"<br/><br/>Mazz suddenly realized sheepishly that smoke inhalation was more of a concern for Tem than herself. She gave him what she hoped was a reassuring smile, before letting the Twin's boots drop. The ooze gave the twin a reassuring pat on his pock marked forehead as she chimed, "Sorry guy! Don't worry! I'll come back for you!" As tangled of a moral dilemma as she had found herself in earlier in regards to saving her enemy, even Mazz understood the wisdom in having priorities! There was no fucking way she was going to explain to Scarlet that she had let her new boy-toy die! Stooped over to drop the one burden, she swapped it for another, unceremoniously tugging Tem's feet out from under him. After he had collapsed onto his back, she proceeded to pull him to safety outside the tavern.<br/><br/>Mazz dragged him to the stables across the street, only stopping when she was sure they were far enough away from the blaze for now. With the starlit sky and the roaring fire, it was actually kind of romantic in a weird way. She wanted to voice this, but as roughly as Tem had been handled, he seemed a bit out of sorts. Helpfully, she splashed water from the trough the horses refreshed themselves in into his face to bring him round, "You're gonna be okay, boy! Just breathe and tell me... did Scarlet happen to mention me at all while you all were talking?"<br/><br/>
