He knows the taste of it, felt upon tongue the copper of blood as hunks of meat slide down his throat, burning the hunger in stomach that twisted and turned, unwanted the spoils of his actions. Yet within the structure of the mind contained in cranium touched with gold and white there is more then such, thought processed and arising in slow beats, memory entangled amongst it all.
Both are they beasts but upon different levels do they stand, not equal as of yet though such never may arise, forgotten in the exhale of breath, faint the wispy touch of mist glittering on whisker tips.
Heavy the press of paw, shift of weight allowing the moist earth to reach up the extended limb, speckling of it about the lean body. Minimal was his time here but already he had found himself accustomed, flick of rounded ears touching for brief second upon sound before next arose, rustle of things smaller then him moving, strange their shapes. And yet about face secured well is the thin fabric toned in shades of dark blue hiding from the world about him the empty expanse of sockets, darkness pooling where once eyes had been. Accustomed to the lack of it, grown better about traversing the land without aid of it, but still did he find the habit of it embedded in action.
Sharp was the twist of neck, turning the head and the ears perked, latching onto the sound of outrage, the roar of a creature of a size greater then his own. Eimi had heard of the traps, spoken to a few others of it for he had no wish to run into any, the state he was within offering only further danger from such, but it seemed another had wandered into one, the echoing roar filling his head, bringing forth a paralysing fear. Best was it to continue, find this other that had found themself caught up in a trap set by another, but so too was the idea to run, allow the next who heard it to deal with it.
“Hello?” Uneasy voice rose within the wake of the roar, unsteady the tread drawing the jaguar closer, the creaking of rope straining about the large body drawing his attention. Slowly he stepped closer though some distance was still left, unsure of how to go about assisting. “Help, s-someone is stuck...” Voice rose for the first few words before it petered out, clear the embarrassment lacing the last as silence took over once more. Slowly he approached, reaching out a paw in search of the other, thinking there might be something he may do though it was likely his efforts may only end with him becoming entangled as well.
