and a partridge in a pear tree - treespasser

[deimos]

It was like gears suddenly clicked in his mind. They turned with intent that was understandable to Piers alone. He shifted his feet, stepping back as the oversized cicada took the branch, albeit small. Cool, ocean blue optics scanned the figure as he ate, mandibles snapping it down and it's shelled lips intaking the foot. His ears pressed flat at the sharp noise of the branch splintering in it's jaws. It wasn't hard to imagine that being bone instead, the crushed up body of a person or otherwise, but the beast wasn't.. meat hungry. The meat of a tree was different in theory, but it wasn't far off in sound. His ears perked, however, stepping to the side out of the cicada's way.

It dawned on him that the tree across the pool of lava was his target. Piers uttered a sound softly, stepping after the cicada, warily watching the lava as he stepped closer to it. He was careful to keep his distance, as not to spook the beast. He stopped besides the cicada's target, his gaze swiveling towards Aurum. His eyes scanned from Crowley, to Kiira, then back towards Aurumn again. Softly he made a cound of agreement with Roy. He sat, his tail neatly tucked an unconcerned with the presence behind him

It wasn't a threat.

"Indeed. It's only thought is of food, of the plant kind. It's not interested in meat. If that was the case, It would have eaten me." Piers spoke. His ears twitched. "The only reason he's drawn here is the trees and we have plenty of those." If he made more sense now then the Captain of the Guard, there was something bitter in Pier's soul that made him that way. He glanced over his shoulder, huffing.
