Banru was doing more than an exceptional job of abusing the poor young woman they encountered, and he was more than happy to witness her growing in confidence and surety. Maybe she would fight back! A struggling prey was always the most satisfying to carve into, and she was certainly becoming more appealing by the second. He hoped she would even strike back.
He was surprised when Banru paused to introduce him to Morana, having expected to be thriller fodder and not much else. He didn't proudly flex his claws or glare his teeth when he was roped into the fight. He only paused in his circling, blinked in her direction, and began to hiss Tailypo, Tailypo, give me back my Tailypo... before drawing closer circles around them.
