CANNIBAL QUEEN { .:*・°☆ } ——— [size=10pt]info

The small domestic feline was walking along the beach with both ears curved forward as she drew a soft breath, these past few days had been quite hectic to say the least. She would angle her ears forward looking out to the ocean starting to think to herself, about Jacob's proposal to Pincher and how sweet that had been only to then think over what Planecrash had told her once when Kalayavan had been hissing at him. "Someone's bound to sweep you off your paws and marry you one day." The sound the ocean made caused a chill to run through her body and she'd shiver lightly, she would approach the waters a bit more despite her slight fear of water especially after her lil incident. All she could see was a time where she was happy with her little crocodile splashing around and catching fish, she yearned for this time again as she held onto the collar of Kalayavan and she sat down feeling the water touch her fur. The horned Siamese would feel her body starting to shake a bit as she bit down on her lip, she hated crying she always felt so vulnerable and weak for doing it but it was her only resort when there wasn't anyone close to hold onto. The tiny feline would hug the large collar pressing her nose to the leather feeling the spikes prodding at her cheek yet she didn't move away as she shook her head "I'm s-so sorry, Kal. . . If I h-had stayed home. . . Y-you'd be here warding off Plane and the rest of the guys. . . B-but you aren't. . ." She hugged the collar until it was pressed to her head, she could feel Lorelei nibbling on her ears but Roxie didn't seem to pay her any heed.

A few hiccups would come out of the Privateer's mouth and she would hear a soft squeak come out of Lorelei, she looked up slightly only to see a shadow covering her. This made her jump back a bit and glance up to see something towering over her with water falling off of its head like a waterfall, they were huge and it took her a moment of squinting to finally realize who it was. She gasped throwing herself to the chest of the creature only to say in a scolding tone "KALAYAVAN! DON'T DISAPPEAR A-AGAIN!" Kalayavan would let out an apologetic growl as he lowered his head enough to Rox could hold his snout like she always did, she took note of the several bite and clawmarks on the crocodile's throat and a few more scars scattered over the large beasts body but otherwise he seemed fine. He was huge, he stood around seven inches and well, Rox couldn't see how long he was but she assumed that he was overall large. She would try her best in fitting the collar back onto him only to sit on his back not minding how his hard scales poked at her, she would wrap her arms around him the best she could as she felt him walk back onto shore. Eventually she could feel the ground shake a bit as he finally plopped down onto the warm sand lowering his jaw enough to the ground, she glanced behind her only to gape to see that his tail still touched the waters. Damn, he was absolutely huge.

That's when she heard it. She could hear chirping yet she didn't know where it was coming from, she scrambled off of his back with Lorelei clinging on her neck fluff letting out squeaks to remind Roxanne she was there. She would slow down a bit only to stare at Kal's powerful jaws hearing the squeaks growing more frequent, she watched as Kalayavan slowly opened his large jaw to reveal a dozen baby crocodiles nestled together letting out soft chirps. They came in several different colors some like Kal and others like the unnamed mother, she would gasp putting her paws on the edge of Kal's jaws only to mew with a grin "Kal, you rascal! The least you could have done was brought her home for me to meet before you do anything crazy." What she had learned when she had been reading on saltwater crocodiles was that their clutches were normally up to sixty eggs and well, she felt happy that Kalayavan had decided to bring some of them home. She was still wished she could at least see who the mother was as she took one of the hatchlings into her paws only to gasp noticing that it had this odd piebald coloration and her eyes grew wide as they twinkled with wonderment "Kal, who is this girl!? Your kids are absolutely precious!" The little piebald crocodile would wiggle in her grasp only to start chirping some more, she would nuzzle its snout which made the chirping stop momentarily. She loved this one, the small girl reminded her of Kalayavan when he had been young. She held the baby close to her chest only to murmur in a gentle voice "I'll name you Brunhild," She purred quietly letting the crocodile baby rest on her back since Lorelei had claimed Roxie's head for herself and frankly wasn't up for sharing. That left eleven more crocodile babies for whoever wanted them, but Rox didn't bother calling anyone over as she looked at each baby cooing at each and every one of them.
"character's speech."

//goldie'll get one!

goldie, being young herself, did not really know a whole lot about raising others. she knew how to help care for others and make them feel nice or heal them if they were sick or injured, but raising life was something she had no experience in. she had many creatures others might consider "pets", but she personally did not believe were. she just thought they were friends, because while they were trained and friendly towards her, they were still free and roamed around the world on their own.

the sick girl had been sleeping a lot more lately, and there was certainly an improvement, though she was still coughing, sneezing, and shivering. her body was certainly happier with her, though. her eyes were no longer so tired and her stomach that had been decreasing so much in size was now at a healthy weight. she had been trapped in the submarine the past few days, which meant she could not properly move more than a couple feet. that was doing wonders for her injuries that had only gotten worse over the past month.

however, as much as she was improving physically, she felt quite poor emotionally. she hated to sit around doing nothing all day when she knew there was work to be done. she hated missing things. and most of all, she hated sleeping. it felt so nice, but it was a trap. it trapped her to be unproductive and miss things. it tricked her into feeling nice only to wake up and realize bad things were happening because she was asleep and didn't help while there was still time.

but, since she was improving significantly, she thought it would be okay to walk around a little bit. not a lot, because she didn't want to make anyone upset at her, but enough that she could at least leave the submarine for a little bit. she would ease her way into it - it'd be fine. today was her first attempt at easing into it. she sniffled, squinting as she adjusted to being out in the sun again. some fresh air would be good for her, anyway.

the young girl's steps were clearly easier as she moved towards the growing group. she was wearing a little scarf to help her fever. she eyed the crocodiles curiously, blinking at them. wow, roxanne had so many now. "w-wow," she'd say softly, voice still a little strained. she lied down in front of one, sniffing at it from a small distance.
