Schizophrenic Fever Dreams

Sephiran found it a bit surprising that Aresenn was hesitant about the situation. Wasn’t he excited to play this game? He had gone through the trouble of finding her, drugging her, and dragging her through the snow to bring her here. It wasn’t going to be like chasing after a deer or getting attacked by another predator. There was a far grander prize at the end of this hunt, one they didn’t get to indulge in under natural instances. Didn’t he want to fuck her too?

Nonetheless, the Praetor boy obliged, finding his place at Sephiran’s side as the duo waited for the girl to escape her lethargy. He shot him a final glance, one that revealed the thoughts swarming behind those amethyst and emerald eyes. Why are you hesitating? Another groan from the girl brought his attention back to her, and he leaned forward on his heels, ready to engage. She finally found her feet, pulling herself up before stumbling back over. “P-please…” She murmured, bringing a paw up to her head that was pounding. “Don’t do this.” Sephiran’s head lowered to align with his shoulders, his pelt bristling around his nape and shoulders. “Flee into the mines,” She pulled herself up again, this time staying upright but swaying. “You will find remedies for your illness... we will guard the entrance for you.” The only reason Sephiran presented a lie was because it would heighten her fear when they did hunt her down… which would make it more fun for him.

The girl swayed for several moments, weighing her options. There was no way she could barge past them, which left her only one choice; flee into the mines. “T-thank you,” She murmured, unsure if the purple male was being truthful or not. But all she could do in this moment was hope he was being genuine. Turning on her heels, she stumbled along the tracks, using them to guide her deeper into the labyrinth. After a while, Sephiran tapped the ground a few times, emitting an echo into the cavern. An indication that the game has begun. He glanced at Aresenn a final time- don’t disappoint me - and signaled for his falcon to remain at the entrance to monitor for any newcomers. He then moved away from the mouth of the mines, vanishing out of sight and descending into the darkness.
