In between his heavy breaths he managed to get some words out "If your offer for food still stands....we'd ....we'd love to take you up on that." he said with a slight pant. There was always one sure fire way to gain energy back aside from sleeping. Eating and drinking always helped to. "And...if it isn't too much to ask. A drink would be nice. Water. Lots of it." he said moving his new arm a little to work the kinks out. His tail did most of the supporting pushing against the grass to keep him sitting up.

With a small nod, she too sat on the ground in front of him, watching him still with grand curiosity. Before him would appear a pitcher filled with ice cold water and a plate with a slab of meat on it. "The meat, I will assume you know, will continue to replenish when you finish the previous piece for an hour. The water will do the same." she said softly, bobbing her head slightly again. Once spoken, she conjured a cup of tea for herself, holding a saucer in one hand, the cup in another. As he were to go on with eating and drinking, she would slowly and politely drink from time to time.

"You might want to look away. Unfortunately in our current state. Manners are not going to cut it for bodily needs. We'd hate to disgust you further." he said with a smirk since he was clearly joking. Having ripped a limb off of himself in front of her he was pretty damn sure eating like a complete and utter slob would be the least of her worries about him. First the titan grabbed the water pitcher and drank from it. Since it refilled itself he kept drinking. Minutes, and minutes and minutes went by before he stopped drinking. It was like he was a camel or something storing water for some large trip but that was hardly the case. The extreme physical state he'd been in just a few hours ago now had sent his metabolism into overdrive and it was still there...sort of. Next he began to gorge himself on the meat, his jaw line cracked and split as he swallowed pieces whole. No time to chew or enjoy how good it was or wasn't. He just needed the nourishment it gave now. This process repeated itself for a few minutes before he drank down another large gulp of water and finally fell onto his back with a satisfied sigh. "We owe you one." he said. The fingernail on his pinky elongated and sharpened at the end to a fine pointed claw which he used to pick his teeth clear of meat. Though since he'd gobbled most down without a single bite there wasn't much to clear.

"Worry not, I will not judge. I know what it is to be completely drained, exhausted of all energy. Nothing matters other than regaining your energy so you may compose yourself again." she said softly, bobbing her head and continuing to sip her tea. When he spoke again at last, she tilted her head slightly. "You owe nothing, thank you." she said softly, politely. This was nothing in her mind, especially when taking in to consideration that he could have tried to kill her for even having dared to show up there as she did, to threaten or any of that other bully nonsense she knew she would have only a short reprieve from. That alone was 'payment' enough for such a small kindness to him.

Turning his crimson gaze back towards her he covered his mouth just in time to block most of the sound from an embarrassingly large belch. "Ahem." he said patting his chest slightly with one hand. "Right then, now that that seems to be settled, why did you show up anyway?" he asked.

"Simple curiosity, honestly." she said with an arched brow and bemused grin at the belch and asking such a polite question just afterward. "Though there is much we do not have in common and for that which we do have in common, it is rather different. However this .. to be at your wits end, to have something of a tantrum in the terms of magic, power and shape .. then to expend this tantrum .. I know this. Perhaps you will dismiss this thought of mine, that is fine. I believe it is the same, though it is different and this is another of the reasons why I do find you to be so very curious despite all the anguish that comes with knowing you."

Yawgmoth cracked his neck and sat back up. Slowly he stood to his feet and sighed flexing both of his hands and bouncing in place. He had the energy to support his larger frame now and stand and walk which was good. He wasn't going to push much else though. "Pfft" he responded "Tantrum? We're offended. We still are at our wits end with this whole damn place." he said starting to walk back and forth, pacing in a small line for two reasons. One, he was ranting and thinking and two he needed to make sure he could walk and move freely without pain.
"We can't get you out of our head. We've been chasing this illusion for nearly two years now. Something, somewhere, has got to give. Because we need to go on living and move on with life. But we're aware that we can't do that until you're gone from our mind. Unfortunately you are the vertex of these grounds now. Your friendliness and popularity with the other insects has ensured this. Nothing happens to you without it affecting everyone in some way. Surely you have come to realize such a thing. It isn't that we're sick of that, no no no we couldn't care less. It is, however, because of that that we haven't just made good on our promise that we made so many months ago. The ripple effects would be catastrophic. Surely, you know this too." he said ceasing his pacing and rubbing his forehead. "With all that had happened over the last week we couldn't take it anymore. Something had to give and it was us. We snapped. Summing it up as a 'tantrum' hardly does it justice." he criticized.

She bobbed her head a bit to his first words, knowing that he misunderstood, though she was not surprised that this had happened. Standing also, she watched him silently, still curious and wanting to hear him out. "I understand. Still, you pushed yourself to the limit, you began to loose yourself. Though you yourself may not have been throwing a tantrum .. your powers were. They were .. full, they needed to express themselves. Emotion is a huge element of my powers .. they are of yours also. If you want to try to dismiss that fact, I will argue. You are frustrated both sexually and with that of battle. I have reached that point also for different reasons. As you said, something must give." she said softly, tilting her head, watching him carefully. She was, admittedly, a bit afraid that he would now beat and rape her for saying this, but it was the truth, as always. "The difference I see now is that I would move on to something else where as you have admitted that you basically intend to build this frustration again and not move on."

Yawgmoth's nod was solemn and his look stern as she spoke. When she concluded he only grinned and put one hand forth waving his index finger tauntingly back and forth. "Ah ah ah" he said slowly. "We will not build to this point again. Our body will not survive another onslaught of that proportion. Survival unfortunately, is greater than our friendship. If it starts to get to that point again. We are going to do what we must to continue to live. Such is the way of all life forms. We are no different." he replied in a grim sounding tone. He was sure she wasn't going to take that news well, but as usual, the truth always came from his lips. No matter how brutal it may be to hear. "What we cannot understand for the life of us is you. Perhaps that is why the both of us are so interested in the other. You will never nor have ever seen another creature like me. And we never witnessed another humanoid behave in the manner you do or be so...ridiculously naive towards the world. It is for all intents and purposes, the most amusing thing we've ever encountered. And we've encountered many, many things."

"Indeed." she said with a bright smile. "There is only one Yawgmoth. There is only one Ziven. We each are unique body, soul and mind."

He nodded. "A fact we firmly agree with. Perhaps, that is the root of our obsession. We know there will not be another like you ever. So we can't allow the opportunity to pass by and find some other woman." he said with a shrug. "We're just hoping that whenever it does get to that point. You'll come to your senses and it won't have to be bad. We really would like to continue having a friendship. Kind of ironic don't you think?" he chuckled out as his knees wobbled. Whoa, standing up too long too soon after eating. He plopped back down on his bottom and shook his head back and forth laying his hands on the ground for support.

She was about to tackle him in a hug when she saw he was faltering. Instead, she caught him and eased him to the ground. "No, not at all. So often, no matter how different or alike any of us are in comparison to anyone else, there is still something that brings us together. For you and I, differences aside, we are unique and nothing can ever change that. When we do not get along, there is still the common thread that we are different and we wish to protect that from changing." she said softly, looking up to him with a small smile.

"Thank you" he said for helping his form to the ground. He almost wondered why she was able to hold his near 300 pound frame up but then he remembered she could crush rocks like him and run like him so why couldn't she hold something that for him was child's play? "For once, you speak wisely. Truthfully instead of spouting naivety and kitten like curiosity." he smirked jokingly. She spoke the truth a lot he just couldn't resist picking on her about being so naive or having enough curiosity that even kittens paled in comparison.

Taking a chance, in more ways than one, she lofted them both up, or so it would feel for a moment, until they both could see that a couch literally sprouted beneath them. An all natural couch, made of a bush that had soft leaves, came from the ground, giving them both excellent distance from the ground. She made herself at home by ducking under his left arm, leaning against him in a way that he would be leaning against her also, supporting each other without either truly exerting any energy. "Always speak truth. Even when my words may be naive or your words may be hurtful, there is truth." she said softly. In the end, she figured that she enjoyed his warmth and he enjoyed her body, despite the fact that he wanted more than she would give. That was why she got so close, as a favor to both of them to be close but not romantically.

Once they were both supporting each other his tail hooked onto the nature made couch for extra support and he whispered. "For a man who basically just told you that at some point in the future he's going to rape you or force you into consent somehow, you certainly are a little too trusting don't you think?" he mocked. "But then again, you may just realize that in our current condition there's no way we could pull anything off successfully against you. So maybe you are playing it safe. Which is it?" he asked curious to know if she was really naive enough to trust him like this or if she held a good grasp on the situation and knew the strengths and weaknesses of her would be opposition.
