The Exiled Prince

My last post, welcome to OS!

She felt her mouth filling with drool, and found that it seemed inappropriate here. What reason could her salivary glands possibly have for salivating in front of a total stranger? She suddenly had the queer feeling that she must have thought, subconsciously of course, that he was tasty or something.

Frowning at herself, the Alpha female suddenly became dismissive of the entire situation, as though solving the mystery of her sudden salivation was much more important. To her, it definitely was. She didn't leave Keith and Sitri in the dark, however: “I don't feel well. Keith—you have my blessing to try to please us. If by the next full moon you haven't impressed any of us, we will have to discuss... Options.” With that, the Kesuk left one last long, lingering look on the newcomer, then turned and strode quickly back toward the Spine, swallowing heavily as she did and frowning perplexedly at the ground.
