NEPETA: :(( < please just try it? pleas3333e?
KARKAT: SIGH.
KARKAT: UH…
KARKAT: A WOUNDED TROLL WALKS THROUGH THE FOREST, LOOKING FOR SOME KIND OF SHELTER.
NEPETA: :33 < !!!!!! thank you!!!
NEPETA: :33 < *ahem*
NEPETA: :33 < *mx. leijon is attracted by the smell of blood, but finds that there is much more to be attracted to once xe gets clawser…*
KARKAT: *I TURN AROUND, STARTLED BY THE NOISE OF BUSHES RUSTLING.*
NEPETA: :33 < *i slowly leave the undebrush and stalk towards you, tail waving languidly being me and pupils dilated like a purrbeast in heat.*
You crawl along the ground, looking at him hungrily. He falters.
KARKAT: UM.
KARKAT: CAN WE NOT DO HEAT STUFF? I WANT THIS TO BE LIKE…
KARKAT: …DELIBERATE?
NEPETA: :33 < oh ok
NEPETA: :33 < *but while xe may look the purrt, its obvious that xe has control over xer actions*
NEPETA: :33 < *xer attraction isnt just instinct, its genuine interest*
KARKAT: *I’M UNDERSTANDABLY CONFUSED AND CONCERNED FOR MY WELL-BEING, EVEN IF I’M A LITTLE DISTRACTED BY HOW HOT YOU ARE.*
KARKAT: I’LL FIGHT FOR MY LIFE, I HOPE YOU KNOW.
KARKAT: *I SAY*
NEPETA: :33 < “that’s odd, there’s no fight to be fought!” i reply
NEPETA: ;33 < “i hunger not for your flesh, but your heart~”
KARKAT: …*I AM FURTHER PUT OFF BY THAT METAPHOR.*
KARKAT: MY HEART *IS* FLESH.
NEPETA: :33 < “your metaphorical heart, silly!”
NEPETA: :33 < xe traces a claw down his chin…
You copy-cat the motion in real life, cupping the soft fat underneath.
NEPETA: :33 < “why dont you come back to my cave, wildberry? ill get you all cleaned up <3”
Karkat gulps. You grin. The huntress cleans him up and gets him dirty again.
