Thread: Aftermath (Razgriz x Lustfull_Sin)

Figure we can switch to Jackson, Lanthe and Punff only after this post, since they're going in the completely wrong direction and all Miune sighed clearly she wasn't going to be able to enjoy the coraberry she'd picked for herself. Thankfully, she was a pretty level-headed Lamia much like Etssa herself and it took a lot to get her angry. But when she did, even someone like Falile wouldn't stand a ghost of a chance. No, Issae, I don't see anything the Shirohebi replied lazily, tossing the half-eaten fruit aside as she realized her little break was over must her sisters be so loud and obnoxious? Still, it was probably best that they start moving again and find this human as quickly as possible when it came down to it, she would stake her claim on this man after Mother was finished with him. Miune then slowly climbed down, going from branch to branch until she reached the bottom the miko robe she wore, showing her flat stomach and hips, caught on the smaller branches several times, but her bulk and the strength of the fabric kept it from tearing. Miune then approached Mei, her crimson eyes equally as petrifying as the Medusa's glare, and said, By the way, Mei, call me lazy-ass again and you'll regret it. My water magic can bring men ultimate pleasure, but for others.......Well, I don't think you want to find out . Mei noticeably hesitated, her golden eyes widening in surprise and fright. But Miune seemed satisfied with her non-responsiveness and followed off after Falile, Issae and Talih. Mei then stuck her tongue out childishly, which earned a smack to the back of the head from Etssa. Knock it off, we still have a job to do the young Echidna said blankly Mei's hair-snakes hissed in retaliation as she turned to face her older sister, but back down again at Etssa's blank stare. Mei realized the futility of trying to fight someone who could easily subdue Falile and just grimaced before turning with a huff, her stone-like scales making scrapping noises as she followed her sister. Etssa breathed out a sight of relief, glad that a potential civil war was averted it was trying at times, keeping her younger siblings in line. Miune was easily the most docile next to her, then followed Talih. Falile, Mei and Issae were the hotheaded ones, and the hardest to control. However, Etssa snapped out of her daze when she realized Talbor was nowhere to be found she then said, Talbor? Talbor....You can come out, everything's OK A small rustle was heard, and the younger of the two Shirohebi poked her head out from behind a jugamelon tree. Etssa.....I don't like it when they fight. It scares me Talbor then said, her petite form shaking a little as additional confirmation. Etssa made her over to the young Lamia and patted her head, saying in a soothing tone, Don't worry, Talbor, nothing's going to happen, I promise you that. Once we find this human, we can make things right again and stop all this infighting . Talbor looked up at the eldest Warrior, feeling her worry disappear upon seeing the Echidna's confident and comforting eyes. Now come along, sister, we mustn't fall behind Etssa then said, leading Talbor after the five other Lamia, unknowing that they were completely missing the mark. The man the seven Lamia were looking for was now in possession of Lanthe and Punff, both rather striking humanoid creatures who were easily the least Jackson would have to worry about in terms of assault. The only ones who could be any less imposing were the mermaids, but since they were far from any ocean, these two were the best he could have possibly come across. Despite his beliefs of their desire to torment him and break him, a Holstaurus and a Weresheep were the some of the gentlest land creatures in this region. He should count himself lucky that he wasn't found by an Amazoness tribe, or something even worse like a Minotaur, which ironically was a close, extremely violent-tempered cousin to the Holstaurus. Even still, in his hazed mind - weary from extensive fatigue, hunger and sleep deprivation - he was weakly trying to struggle, trying to keep these two away from him. He didn't know why he left the safety of his armor, as it had been the one thing aside from his now confiscated rifle that had been a single point of consistency in this crazy, messed up world. N...No....syaa..sta..stay 'way....stay away he pleaded weakly, his body shivering from the cold sweat of his near fatal heart attack. He then felt something rub against his nose, and again his consciousness started to fade in his weakened state, he fell asleep much more easily this time, his dark-circled eyes closing and his chiseled, time-ravaged body calming down. He didn't even get a chance to hear Lanthe's words as the blissful warmth finally overtook him and he passed into the realm of dreams. His breathing evened out, his sculpted chest rising and falling beneath the ragged bodysuit he wore, its definition visible even beneath the dirtied, semi-thick fabric. If one were to look on this scene from the outside, they might find it touching that these two had looked past the man's initial hostility and taken him in to care for him. Whether this was out of a sense of duty or stemmed from their own inward, innate kindness was subject for debate, but for the moment, it seemed young Jackson's perilous situation had been averted. Time and patience would only tell if the last remaining male on Umbre would accept his place as company of these two Mamono. As Punff dabbed at his face and pulled down the hood of his bodysuit to wipe his neck of the sweat, she would begin to see the evidence of his plight Scars from battling a pack of Werewolves that had managed to knock off his helmet, leaving ragged scars that looked barely healed over, and that was only the beginning of what his body might tell her should she decide to investigate.
