[ there had been a mission out in a town surrounded by woods. these days, with nature taking back what belonged to it before humans had managed, it was hard to travel through anything rural. roads out that way had begun to become non-existent, and the only people who went into the woods were people who went to hide.

mikaela is the one who draws the short straw, and is the one sent to crawl through those woods to see if any wayward children had heard their chopper and fled. ---what he finds, however, is -- a cute black dog with big green eyes. when he leans down to pet it, it---

---promptly bites him. ]

Don't say "find food" like I have more than one option.

[culpa]

There still is asking nicely.

[befouled]

You know what feeding from you means, right?

[culpa]

You'll eat my blood?

[befouled]

I bite you.

[culpa]

Well, yeah.

[befouled]

[ sigh! ]

Neck or wrist.

[culpa]

[ hholds out a hand. ]

[befouled]

...Sorry.

[ aannnnd. sinks his teeth into yuu's wrist. ]

[culpa]

[ it's. not the worst bite he's ever experienced--it doesn't even hurt much at all. yuu flinched, but seems mostly unbothered. ]

Is it okay?

[befouled]

[ it's...

okay.

it's a bit gamey, like some kind of wild meat, but -- it's not inedible, and he's really, really hungry, so --- ]

[culpa]

[ he'll take the lack of stopping as a yes. yuu's ears flatten down against his head, teething at his lower lip, but he doesn't stop mika. ]

[befouled]

[ that's fine, because he eventually stops on his own. he's hungry, but not a starved baby who can't stop himself. he takes a few steps back, wiping at his mouth. ]

[culpa]

[ oh. well okay. he--raises his wrist up to his mouth, licks at the wound a bit. ]

See? You ate, and you didn't have'ta bite some kid.

[befouled]

...Thanks.

[culpa]

Yeah.

[ where does he go from here. ]

Now, scram, and--don't come back and don't tell anyone.

[befouled]

Or what? You'll call over "your pack", even though you "live alone in the woods"?

[culpa]

. . okay, fine, I don't have a pack, but I can still eat you.

[befouled]

I could easily kill you. I barely fought back.

[culpa]

[ ah. ]

Then--then do it. Kill me.

[befouled]

...What?

[culpa]

You said you could, right?! Then c'mon, try!

[befouled]

No.

[culpa]

Then what do you want me to say?! I said scram, you said you could kill me! I don't get it!

[befouled]

I said that because you said you can eat me. You can't.
