Bite me. [Goblin!]

[Rhindeer]

Katxiel ran her fingers through her hair and clutched the strands, tugging at her scalp. This tiger was going to drive her to madness! To her in that moment, clouded by frustration, this seemed a fate worse than death—to be kept as a tiger-god's pet, too unworthy of an offering.

"Fine!" she huffed, splashing out of the water and swaying a little as she walked, still weak from her ordeal. "Then if you won't, I guess I'll just have to do it myself!"

She inwardly cringed at how petulant that sounded, but oh well! Splashing out of the water, she turned to face the jungle and started to march away from the tiger. Naked. Cold. And utterly clueless.

[GoblinFae]

Fintan shook the water from his head and snort huffed at her. Sure she'd get real far without any of her fur, starving, and without any sense of direction.

A low, gravelly rumble sounded from his chest moments before he heaved his massive form out of the water. A waterfall practically ran off his fur as he splashed onto the shore and dripped all the way in irritated pursuit of her.

She rejected his efforts at every turn. Half the others he had saved hadn't been this stubborn. Why her? Why HIM? So much complaining. And now she wanted to add running into the mix too? Why he ought to bite her!

Taking in the pale, bouncing flesh right at eye level with him was certainly not helping matters. Impulsiveness won out the closer he approached though. With no warning whatsoever, he opened his mouth and clamped down on own cheek, halting suddenly and holding on to keep her from moving. A deep growl reverberated against her skin as an extra warning to not fight him or meet the fate she so desperately seemed to want. 

[Rhindeer]

The squeal that came out of her startled a small flock of parrots from their trees, sending them fluttering skyward in a flurry of feathers and indignant squawks.

HE BIT HER.

Was actively BITING HER.

On the BUTT.

A full-body jerk went through her, nearly sending her leaping out of her skin--if she wasn't being held firmly in place by tiger jaws clamped onto her cheek. The blood rushed to her face in pure mortification, more emotionally wounded than physically, and she twisted around to stare aghast at him, mouth dropped open. "What are you--LET GO! That is SO inappropriate! Or--or just eat me! Or something! Make up your mind, please!"

But then she froze, a thought coming to her as soon as she said it, a memory of predator kills she had seen and the way some of them ate their prey haunches first...sometimes while they were still alive...

She blanched, biting her lip. "Or...just...listen. Can we just...I dunno, talk this out or something? Not that you talk, but..." She scrubbed a hand over her face.

[GoblinFae]

He would have laughed if he did not have a mouth full of meat he was actively trying not to eat. And she said that he couldn't make up his mind. All her begging for him to just eat her and now when she had no reason to suspect that this was in fact what he was doing and suddenly she was begging for him to not too. Oh these furless ones were all the same and oh so weird.

With her now at his mercy he used his grip on her to direct her in marching back to his den. Any protests fell on deaf ears. He literally flicked them back flat against his skull to ignore her. Perhaps he should just take her back to the village now as he had intended? Now that would be a sight; a tiger fearlessly marching a human absolutely naked from the jungle into view!

Yeah, on second thought he'd end up with a coat full of arrows and that certainly didn't sound like a good time. Maybe he could just eat her after all? Nah, based on the literal mouthful he had, she was not going to be worth the effort.

Fintan huffed, his whiskers brushing her backside as he shook his head ever so slightly, forgetting that this would in turn make her hips shake as well.

[Rhindeer]

No response. Not that she had been expecting one, since he was a tiger. Instead, she was soon being marched along back toward the den and considering his hold on her butt and those teeth holding on, she had no choice but to move where he directed her.

"Oh come on, really?!"

This was...so beyond humiliating. Katxiel flushed, her skin hot clear down her chest, and stared at the ground as she stumbled along. She only had an audience of one—a bloody tiger!—but it was still absolutely mortifying being lead around with a mouth on her bottom! Why her? Why this? What deity had she pissed off so completely that this would be her fate instead of eternity?

Her woe-is-me thoughts cut off when he shook his head—and if she hadn't been in the middle of taking a step, it might have done nothing more than throw her off a little. Instead, she pitched over with a surprised yelp, throwing out a hand—and grabbing onto one of his ears.

[GoblinFae]

And just like that he released his hold on her rear to let loose an ear-splitting yowl of pain. Fintan shook his head sharply, hoping to get her to release the soft, highly-sensitive cartilage she had decided to manhandle. He backed away from her, yowling again before baring his teeth and hissing at her in warning to not do it again. 

How dare she! Why he ought to be done with it and eat her right then and there for the insult alone. He wouldn't even give her the grace of a quick death at this point. No. He'd eat her alive. Go ahead and run little girl. I dare you. Give me a reason to gobble you up.

[Rhindeer]

"A-ah! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Katxiel quickly said, waving her hands apologetically as a sudden spike of fear shot through her. It was a strange feeling, really. She wanted him to kill her--right? And yet the sight and sound of an angry, full-grown tiger snarling and hissing and baring all those sharp, massive teeth sent a primal wave of terror through her as instinct overrode logic.

She knew it was what had to happen. What she wanted to happen. But oh gods how her heart was racing as everything in her wanted to run. She shrank back from him, wincing, her mouth bone dry. Calm down, calm down, he wasn't a normal tiger, remember? He was a god. He could understand her.

Slowly, she drew in a shaky breath. "I-I didn't mean to, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you, I--" Wait a second. She paused, a frown creasing her face. "Really, it was an accident, but to be fair you did bite my butt! That kind of hurt too, you know!"
