Chain Chomp

All too fast, things happened. Esti snapped at the lizard, Valentine jumped, Esti jumped back, the lizard spun around again, then was off after Valentine. A breath caught in Esti's throat. She really wasn't sure what to do or if Valentine would win in this race. How fast were giant lizards anyway? Esti turned and looped around in an arc to observe the event, ready to jump in and help fight if needed, but also ready to turn tail and flee.

She didn't have to flee.

Somehow, for some reason, the lizard gave up. Esti caught up to Valentine, panting softly, "Okay... I thought he was supposed to be our dinner, not the other way around." She tossed him a toothy smile, her maw being parted slightly for air, "Maybe this isn't the best hangout. The company is pretty bad and the over all atmosphere is a little hostile." She shrugged, "Not the worst first date I had." she ended. It was kind of a lie, most other 'dates' were a lot... quicker and more passionate than dangerous, but she wasn't too picky, handsome company was handsome company.
