Starlight and Stories

Gossamer's reply was met with a flurry of questions and she quirked an eye at her younger sister. She was about to make a comment about a young pup being interested in such grisly details, but then remembered her own fascination with anatomy as well as Aris' more grisly experiments. Well, apparently something ran in this family. She swiftly took a bite of the meat that Kyanite had brought, both to buy herself some time and also to dim the memory of the pirate woman's blood on her tongue.

Gossy licked the remnants of the bite from her saber fangs. "Well, it was a difficult battle. The pirate was older, more experienced than I was but I was stronger. Have you done much hunting? You know how we often kill prey by getting it by the throat? That is what I did. I saw an opening in her defenses and I took it. My fangs ripped through her throat and in minutes she was gone." Gossamer resisted the urge to shudder at the pirate gurgling out her last words about a new beginning.

"Anyway, why are you so interested in this?" Gossy bent her head to take another bite of food.
