In the Interim

Chimera had been prepared. He'd been prepared to be angry. To lash out at the small monochromatic fae for some reason that he hadn't decided upon yet. It pleased him to see the shock and horror on her pretty little face as she took in his bloodied appearance. It ignited something deep inside him. Some sadistic furnace that was being stoked and fed by her reaction to him. It all went away though. The very moment that she shared her plans with him, it all went away. All of that anger. All of that hot, ragey fire. Gone.

The brutes mismatched eyes narrowed slightly as though he was trying to discern whether or not she was fucking with him, but he saw no dishonesty in the woman's face. She was truly crafting something to help his sister. Aliana seemed embarrassed that she'd been caught building a hive to house the bees that she hoped would pollinate Siren's garden. Chimera stared at her for a long, long moment, his expression hard and most likely unreadable.

He was... touched. Aliana was sweet and thoughtful. The woman must have realized how important Siren was to him. Or maybe she was simply just that selfless and kind. Either way it went, Chimera was pleased at the task that she'd put upon herself. More than pleased. He was thankful. That was a rarity. Rarer still was when he opened his mouth and a soft but low, "Thank you," rumbled forth. Anything that would make Siren happy would ultimately make Chimera happy.

Despite her project, Aliana remembered her place and offered to tend to him. That, he realized... That was what a woman should do for her man; her master. "No," he rumbled and turned away from her. Chimera would go to the beach, cleanse his fur of the blood and viscera that clung to him, and then make his way back. If she was going to take the time to do something for his sister, then he would help the woman with her task. "Tell me what needs to be done." He was offering his brute stretch to pull or carry. Whatever she might need to expedite her process. This was his way of thanking her for her efforts to please Siren.
