You have five seconds to answer me before I go find you just so I can kill you.

Go to her first!!

[There's an odd, inhuman growl under it.]

I did it... I don't- I lost it. I don't remember a lot. But- [ He remembers that. How she TASTES. ]

She aint gonna want me there.

[There's the sound of him moving around, but he stays on the line.]

Are you a moron? What do you mean she's not going to want you there? What did you do?

[Okay good he's going. There's a temptation to just hang up but... ]

What do you THINK I did with an opener like that!!

I don't see why you murdering her precludes you being there when she wakes? My cute little Jing Yuan has done the same many times. It is very romantic. [Pause.] Unless you are injured? Are you injured?

Yeah. I mean. Not enough. That's not the problem!!

Mstillkindahungry

[Dan Feng, at least, still has enough social graces at the moment to not say he's kind of jealous of Sett being able to taste Val in that way...]

Is the hunger specifically for - intelligent creatures?

[Yeah you can HEAR the stomach growl over the line. And it's almost a whine when he answers. ]

Its not... Not intelligent creatures? But she didnt bring us to anything that wasn't??

We can wait for her together and you can have some of my tail while doing so?

[There's the sound of leaves crunching.]

She would be better off seeing you here.

DON'T ENCOURAGE IT

[PETULANTLY,]

I was good enough for Aphelios! Am I not good enough for you!

[There's a pause as dots are connecting, slowly, in Sett's head.]

THAT'S what happened... Duuuuuude

Yes. He did not tell you? Now stop being difficult, come to the graveyard, and let me see you.

I can't believe you're going to get to watch me get murdered.

Fine. I ain't far.

[What do you mean this is a great bonding experience!!!!

Dan Feng's lounging on one of the graves like it's the finest daybed, but there's an air of faint anxiety around him, the way his tail is switching back and forth giving him away.]

[ He could have hung up? But he didn't. Because what if Val came back and everything was fine and she DIDN'T want to see him til he was more himself. That would make sense. Save some steps!!

But no, eventually, a hulking figure slouches out of the cover of the trees and steps into the graveyard, already tasting the air for her.

He looks... not at all like himself. More beast than anything, more canine than the cat he usually clocks as, muzzle and teeth and bare bone in spots slowly healing. Part of his hand is missing and still dripping blood, the other burned. He isn't paying attention to either.

Just watching Danny's reaction with yellow, slitted eyes.]

No sign?

[Carefully he palms his phone closed.]

No. I've been watching.

[His tail stills, though, as Dan Feng tenses abruptly, the predatory instinct in him rankling at the arrival of another one, beastly like this. It takes a lot for him to keep lounging, turning his head just enough to look at Sett.]

You look pathetic.

Thanks I feel like shit.

[ Actually he feels GREAT. But THAT makes him feel worse. He takes a few more steps into the graveyard and- ah. Dan Feng's instinct was right at least. Sett's ears pin back and he shakes his head, and sinks down onto his haunches some careful distance away from him.

The dragon smells delicious.]

[He inhales deeply, which is a mistake, because even this far, Sett smells like blood and flesh and danger and Dan Feng's pupils slit so thin they're nearly nonexistent.]

Don't come any closer or I will maul you and she'll be mad at both of us. [He sits up.] Just give me a moment. Is this a form of yours?

[ Oh. Oh he wants that fight. Close enough to maul is close enough to bite and bite and shred and eat. Who CARES if he might lose.

With a low growl, Sett wipes the hunger from the edges of his maw with the back of his arm. ]

No. Not this far. She did that.

She?

[Dan Feng closes his eyes and prays for patience.]

No growling. [He says, while growling a low, animal sound under his diaphragm.] I really want to tear your throat out and I cannot heal that fast enough to keep you from dying.

[ Hang on, he'll explain getting mindfucked. In a SECOND. ]

Assuming y'win. Big assumption.

Edited 2024-05-18 12:21 (UTC)

[M8 do NOT

He gets to his feet. Snicks claws out as he starts walking closer, his tail flicking behind him.]

Assumption? It's a fact. You think you can overpower me?

[ He wants to get up. The tail sweeps behind him, and the snarl shows that row of sharp teeth.

Bone claws dig furrows into the ground as he tries not to get up but he's getting so CLOSE and he can HEAR Dan Feng's PULSE. ]

Don't care.

[This feels good. He can see how tightly Sett is holding himself, how much he's straining to hold himself back, out of what? Politeness? Loyalty to Valencia? Loyalty to the human part of him?

He stops, crouching in front of Sett. Less than a thought and there's two tails winding behind him, woven into existence with Gluttony's magic. Dan Feng smiles like a knife.]

Mindless little creature.
