cross my heart

He'd left Venom and her disgusting honeycomb in the sand and had stalked off in a foul mood. He needed to bite something. Or he needed someone to fawn over him. Why not both? He decided to seek out Siren. He hadn't paid his sweet little sister enough attention lately. Besides, she was the only one that he allowed to see him in his true nature.

He spied her on the beach, prancing along like she hadn't a care in the world. Pathetic. She should have a care. She should have a very big care. "Enjoying yourself, are you?" The black and white boy growled from the shadow of the palms. His eye was almost completely swollen shut now from the bee stings. His nose was red and swollen and the tip of his white ear was enlarged as well. He was a mess and he was grumpy. This interaction could go one of two ways. Siren could balk and run, thus forcing him to chase her down and probably hurt her. Or she could dote upon him and compliment him. Soothe his ego, so to speak. The big boy stared down at the tiny girl and willed her to choose.
