With a cheery smile, Quash bounced when he saw that the man was in submission. He latched onto Marco's ankle with just enough fang to keep him from escaping. With one tug, he was dragging the man behind him. Quash was pretty big, but he was the runt of his litter. So he felt extra exhilarated with his catch. The sound of Marco's struggling was only fuel to the fire. It wouldn't be long until he was back to Ino...

Or what was... his master.

Tennan continued to jab into the man even after his face was destroyed. He was a bloody pulp, now only being bludgeoned and smashed to a point of total loss of recognition. Ino was gone. And Tennan was so focused and feeding on her destructive rage, that she didn't notice Quash letting go of Marco and throwing himself towards her. Mouth opened, serrated teeth all extended, he could not let this happen.

He landed on Tennan's left side, his mouth over her head, gnawing at her neck. She'd at least been pushed from the pile of meat that was his master. Now, she laid decapitated in front of Damon and Roek. Quash struggled to chew on the metal framed head that used to sit on Tennan's sleek shoulders. He ended up spitting it out, brushing his tongue off with long taloned feet. "God, that was disgusting." He spat out in a whiney, hissing voice, that was rarely exhibited outside of home.

Ilan could see her hometown. It was bright as day. The water pulsed with her heartbeat, slower and more intensely as he wormed into her subconscious. "Where do you find pleasure in life?" He spoke without moving his lips. Which were behind Qi's head nonetheless. Still, he brushed through her silk hair and stroked down her shoulders.

The moment she took her dose, he felt the heat between them rise again. "Remember that moment... Do you?" His voice in this realm of consciousness was like a buzz, a hum, yet something that Qi would perfectly understand, and know who it belonged to. Ilan had traversed many minds in his search for spirituality. These days he wasn't too sure what was right or wrong anymore. Isolation was a tough feat to overcome. He had to take that challenge with him wherever he landed.
