 It wasn't necessarily a great idea to be out on the beach in the sun, but Lieutenant obviously didn't care. She was trailing after a butterfly, somewhat uncharacteristically and mindlessly watching it as she wandered behind. The sun got to her after some time, though, forcing the dark-pelted female to retreat to the shelter of a large, sweeping tree. It swayed a bit as she approached, caught by a breeze off the sea.
Settling down on a patch of dune grass instead of in the sand, Lieutenant watched as her familiar made its way slowly over to her, landing in one of the branches of the tree and resting there. Her eyes scanned the shoreline, not spotting anything of interest there, and soon wandered out to the horizon, tail curling about her side as she did so. Panting a bit from the heat rising from the sand, the demon decided that resting here for a moment before passing out of heat exhaustion was a much more appropriate choice.
"Damn heat," she scowled, eyes shifting up to the cloudless sky for a moment, "It's as hot as friggen hell out here."

 Dämon's seemingly expressionless face was resting on the Wini's front paws. He was laying high in a tree, enjoying the soft breeze, though he'd never admit it. Demons like him weren't supposed to enjoy anything. His black eyes narrowed to tiny slots when he saw the female below him. How pathetic, he thought, A female trying to act as if she were an equal! And with such a sharp tongue! Shouldn't she know that all females are inferior and should do their jobs of baring chilren, and leave the world be otherwise? With this, he reached down and swiped the lesser's familliar from the branch it was perched, only to throw it down again.
"Actually," he sneered, "Hell's much hotter." The male's spaded tail slashed a line in the bark of the tree.

Ears swiveling upwards as her gaze darted from the sea to the trunk where the little butterfly-shaped thing had been sitting, Lieutenant's eyes narrowed as she leapt somewhat gracefully to her feet, circling around to the side to get a better look at the other winiko. How had she even missed his scent? She hadn't even known he was up there until he had spoken. Reaching out a paw, she somewhat carefully pulled the battered little thing towards her body, ears flattening to the sides of her head and tail swatting back and forth.
"Oh?" she replied, voice cutting the air, "And to who should I credit this wealth of knowledge to, then?" Her voice dripped with sarcasm, but as her eyes caught sight of his tail and the damage it had caused, she made a mental note to be wary of the thing. "Certainly one so educated as yourself should have better things to do than lie around in a tree all day, hmm?" She flashed a smirk in his direction, shaking her head to ruffle her mane away from her neck.

Tail swaying as the demon watched, Dämon couldn't help but grin at the female's actions. Protecting such a poor, defensless thing as a little butterfly. Oh, how sweet. Rolling his eyes at his own thoughts, the Wini's grin only broadened, revealing his fang-like teeth that were seemingly glued together. Until, of course, he spoke.
"You see, there's this thing called hunting. It's where you stalk your prey from a place they can't see you, smell you, or hear you. Some of us don't have ignorant humans feeding us whenever we want. No Mommy or Daddy to hunt for us. And you obviously didn't see, smell, or hear me, or else you'd not have jumped up like that, no?" Standing up on the branch he was previously resting on, he clawed lightly at it, even the tiny motions causing harm to the tree. "You see, when I saw you and your little friend, I just couldn't resist." His own familliar appeared and perched on curled horn.

She herself was not one for warm and fuzzy things, but to her butterflies were the one thing in nature that proved beautiful enough for her recognition. Huffing lightly, she shrugged nonchalantly to the older demon. "So mommy and daddy did feed and hunt for me," she replied lazily, allowing the little familiar to flutter up to cling into her mane, "Just says I was lucky enough to be a spoiled little brat when I was little. I never gained the instinct that you obviously have, and that therefore makes you superior. I can see it in the way you're standing there, it's likely your current thought and frame of mind."
She paused for a moment, claws digging into the soft white sand beneath the pads of her feet. "If it's not that, then I could only guess what's on your mind." Eyes narrowing a bit, she absently rolled her shoulder, getting a satisfying crack from the joint. "I'm not looking for a fight, honestly," she added, voice turning sharp once more, "I really don't have the time at the moment." Probably a stupid statement, since the other demon was much larger than herself, but her father's hot blood was pulsing in her veins. She may have been lacking tact, but she was more than a bit flustered at this winiko, and not about to openly show it.
