While her Partner stands with his lips brushing against their Prey, her armored shoulder brushes against his soft one. Dark, haunted eyes shift between each new face that arrives. There are some she knows and many she does not, but she doesn’t care to know them all. Her tail flicks quietly at her heels and for a moment she reaches her chin over the withers of Partner to inhale the scents of dried blood that linger on their Prey’s skin.
Fresh blood.
Resist it.
She’s desperate to taste the new liquid that pearls on the Prey’s flesh, perhaps to even take a bite of her supple, exhausted muscle, but with a soft growl she pulls her head away and back toward the conversation. Their slippery words mean nothing to her, but with the red-shadowed Prey at the head of their gathering she can guess what is happening. Their plotting and laughter are things she doesn’t care about (when it is time to hunt, Partner will tell her) but she does understand who their Leader is now.
Her teeth reveal themselves when a supple, feminine Prey dares to touch her Partner (though she doesn’t attack her; her only intention to threaten). But besides that, she is content to settle alongside the algae-and-pearl side of her Partner and wait for their casual, sliding words to end.
