The woman moved closer and Valentine's ears flicked back in response. He held his ground; this was his territory after all. She was taking far too many liberties with his personal space. The beginning gentle mussing of the fur on his shoulder was enough to send him reeling around to face her before she could fully brush against him. The King growled a warning, displeasure causing his hackles to rise slightly. She managed to surprise him and nip at his ear, which only served to further his displeasure. "Know your place," he rumbled.
She assured him she meant no harm and it was entirely possible that she spoke the truth. However, that did little to correct the blatant disrespect she was showing him. "And a dangerous one too," he commented dryly. She'd made it very clear what kind of agreement she had in mind; very little was left to the imagination. "Why should I trade passage for something I can get for free?" It was a fair question. Sex was something he got an abundance of. It wasn't exactly a scarce commodity that he had to scrounge up and save for.

NOTE: Valentine has a female striped skunk companion named Lefty. Unless stated otherwise assume she's present.
