[ on day (??? timey wimey to be inserted before or after game if needed, if you're out late late one night in the graveyard -- you might get stumbled into by (1) irate looking beastman. there's beads of sweat on his forehead, bangs stuck to it and his teeth are ... very sharp when they're bared. ]

Hey, watch it.

[Malleus' monster is absolutely enjoying the show.]

A-all of this from just one bite?

[Malleus himself is a little disappointed! And a little upset at all of this.

They can fight about it later, he decides.]

[teethandambitionsbared]

So much for your constitution bein' able to handle it.

[ Leona grumbles, grabbing for Malleus's hand to try to make him hold the cloth in place. ]

[tsunotaro]

......

[Heck he just agreed to that, didn't he?]

Were you planning on cutting pieces off of me, if you didn't like biting?

[teethandambitionsbared]

[ he stills

the monster in him likes biting. he likes it a lot. that's how lions do it in the wild, after all -- they don't cut from their prey, they did in and tear their prey open, regardless of it's alive or dead --


Leona shudders; it's Malleus's blood, he thinks, even if the hunger has been abated it's hard to think straight this close to it. ]

-- yeah. That's ... That's what I was thinkin'.

[ there's that hunger, but the nausea again too. ]

What, you changin' your mind?

[tsunotaro]

No.

I'm just wondering if it'll feel better that way or not. It isn't like shearing a sheep, and I'm not particularly adept at this time.

[teethandambitionsbared]

I dunno. It'd probably hurt less?

Unless you want me to bitecha.

[ he's mostly teasing. ]

Can you stand?

[tsunotaro]

I do not think it will make much of a difference. I will be sustaining an injury either way.

[He thinks on it.]

I can stand, with some help.

[He reaches out for Leona as he makes an attempt to stand up.]

[teethandambitionsbared]

[ .. exhales and offers his arm to help him stand ]

And what's that mark you put on me? Huh?

[tsunotaro]

[He takes the offered arm, pulling himself to his feet, shaking a little.]

I... The mark. My other heads wanted to add you to our hoard.

It was a compromise, so that we can have you, but so that you can also have yourself.

[teethandambitionsbared]

... 'Kay, let's just get this straight.

I don't belong to anyone.

[tsunotaro]

If I am going to feed you, the least you can do is ease my heart a little.

[Malleus usually isn't one to invade others' space or want to touch, but he's feeling a little dizzy, so he's going to lean on Leona.]

There are so many voices in my head and they are so loud and demanding.

[teethandambitionsbared]

[ he grumbles but accepts the lean, starting to walk. ]

What, is it your monster demandin' it?

[tsunotaro]

It's all of them. It is one monster but it is many voices.

[Having eight heads mean lots of chatter. If only they spoke as one! Wouldn't that be nice.]

They want to add you to our hoard. A hoard of... people?

[teethandambitionsbared]

... 'Kay, no wonder you were actin' so weird.

Did you even wanna agree to be my meal plan?

[tsunotaro]

Hmmmmm...

[He DOES think about that question, falling silent as he runs it through his head now that his monster has quieted down.

It doesn't feel good to be bitten like that, that's for sure, but if he think about it as helping Leona...]

It isn't ideal, but I believe I would still do it. You looked almost ill with your hunger.

There would be no way to prevent you from trying again short of harming you, and you would likely eventually starve to death if other food cannot sustain you, which... I would not prefer... [He will not admit that he likes Leona and enjoys bickering with him but he can admit he'd rather him be alive!]

I would like to explore if blood alone can help though, as healing this is going to take some energy.

[teethandambitionsbared]

[ ... he feels somewhat sheepish to hear Malleus frame it that way, because he can hear the "I don't want you to die" even if it's not explicitly said.

he shuffles his weight a bit, changing the way Malleus leans on him. ]

That'd be a lot easier, right? But ... I dunno. I'm guessin' based on the theme so far I gotta eat something.

[tsunotaro]

[It's ok, Malleus won't call him out for that. He'd rather they not get too emotional right now.]

We would probably not be so lucky, but let us try. Just once. Healing magic is hardly my specialty.

[teethandambitionsbared]

Yeah. We'll give it a shot.

[ he enters the clinic with him, going to try to guide him down onto an examination bed room ]
