Welcome to Gaia! ::

The doe cleaned herself slow and mindful, trying to rid herself of that remaining sick heat, the feeling of warmth that made her tremble in ways she could only hide by remaining seated. He returned to her side and Fluke could feel his size -- he was much larger than he had even sounded, like he could cover her entirely, effortlessly.

Subtly lifting her head at the touch of his nose to her neck, she exhaled slowly through her flared nose, and touched is briefly along one of his ears, leading to his mane and spiked brow. Fluke could not even give words to what he was, having never seen a Kiokote before her sight was taken, but she felt like he was a beast of legend - a proverbial dragon, a real life wolf. "You are...quite large," she said in a voice that felt a bit more thready than she wanted to give on, "...Friend."

He wasn't going to hurt her, that much she gathered. Even with his care, his carefulness -- why was she letting her guard down? Then again, what choice did she have?

Maybe she was aware of the change of appetite, or perhaps she hoped to offer something to dissuade the meal of flesh that ended between teeth and gut. Survival ran between them and the touch of fur, and hesitant, Fluke flit her tongue over his brow, almost immediately regretting the action.

Her throat, tight from his proximity to it and knowing what would come next, suddenly felt like it had closed entirely. The blind doe attempted to take some steps back, wavering in the water, not able to get away really -- not from where they were, and certainly not from him.
