OOC: Mature things mind happen! Shield your eyes!
In his voice was no belief for her words, only the fire of his rage and the decision he had made for himself. They were finite, frightening, curling the claws of the female as they dug deep to anchor herself within the soil. Her body braced itself on instinct against the staggering rise of his impending fury. But she was not afraid- for fear meant she was guilty of what she had been accused. She was innocent, whether his crazed eye in that moment refused to believe it or not. Rather she be lashed for her honesty in loving and remaining loyal to the behemoth, than cower and further whatever dark assumptions he possessed. She would not fight against him should his fangs turn toward her.
And inevitably, it came to thus, though her convictions remained strong even as her body succumbed to the lacking nourishment and fatigue. Shamefully vulnerable, had her frame been more fragile than the thick bone beneath her flesh, she would have collapsed then from his sudden lunge and forceful clasp of his teeth upon her spine. The pain was unfamiliar and unkind as vengeful teeth slipped seamlessly through the russet ridge to puncture flesh. And though she cried in alarm and let her anchors release the earth, she did not make to flee from his grasp and endured his pain. Even as his front leg draped possessively over her back and bore a portion of his weight into her, she did not attempt to find the refuge of her den but a few feet away. She remained as still as she was able, head low and ears laid back in submissive fashion. Even her tail tucked from its relaxed posture to press within the crème folds of her belly. Her silence was her compliance that she would not act against him, but succumb to his will. |
