Down with the Sickness

A foul odor reached her nose, something close to a bull mixed with stagnant water. Lurid wrinkled her nose in disgust, turning to see what caused such a smell and being met with an earthen hued male who had answered her call. He was not her crimson devil, and therefore fair game for hunting. The dribble that fell from his lips painted a smile on her face, she was used to males making advances, but what this brute didn't know was Lurid hunted males like him. "Your lucky day? No, sweetheart, it is my lucky day." Dual-toned vocals sounded a bit ragged - hoarse with her lingering sickness - but they still purred with saccharine tones. As he advanced on her, Lurid prepared for a fight. Until she caught the flash of red behind the male. Saying nothing, Lurid simply gave a giant smile to the male, and wagged her tail with excitement. 'Don't you worry, gorgeous, I'm gonna take good care of you... Now be a good girl, and don't ru-' The male's words were cut off by his sounds of pain, bringing even more excitement to the unnatural predatory woman.

She had known Requiem wouldn't keep her waiting long, but for him to show up with a defensive murder made her happier than she ever thought she would be. The pale queen knew better than to get between her red knight and his prey, she would wait until he was done with his victim.  Idly she watched the savagery of her mate with gleeful joy, cheering him on through coughs - as such breathy exclamations were still taxing for her. Each yelp of pain brought a barking laugh from the mad woman, the strange male going down in record time as Requiem ripped his way through him. When it was done, Requiem gave a shudder then turned those beautiful silver and black eyes toward her. Holographic lavender met those silver pools with tears in them, though there was a broad smile on her face as he spoke with welcoming vocals. "Bonum est regredi, mi rex" With that, she moved to embrace her Haihefa, her mate, her love - her nose meeting his neck before she wrapped herself around him and held him tight. "I am so sorry for being gone so long, my love." Her tones were sad and sincere, dual vocals both whispered and said aloud as she buried her face into his neck.
