How I Always Have

Viper came barreling towards him and her small frame slammed against his chest, but he did little more than take a single step back. A low growl did pour from him as he looked down at the leaking woman. There was strange goo pouring from her just like it was pouring from his children. Was the whole world going mad? The children were already locked in the empty slave cells. Thankfully the slaves themselves hadn't become infected. Not being out amidst the spores and whatnot must have been the trick. And yet here he was... not infected. He'd broken the damn things in a fit of rage. The crystal that had... taken his children.

Pushing his emotions away, Chimera raised a paw and shoved the erratic woman away from him. "I don't want anything from you, Viper. Nothing at all." Wouldn't it be easy to just kill her now? Blame it all on the crystals and the mushrooms and the fucking fireflies that were everywhere? He could drag her to the water, shove her under and keep her there until she stopped kicking. Then he'd never have to worry about her again. Instead, he pushed her away again. "Get it the fuck together, woman." He snarled again, his two-toned pelt bristling.
