Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dev had given a low growl when the Alichino put his knee on Snow's back, but calmed down when he let her go and disappeared. Only then did he shift to his human form. Without clothes, as usual. He moved over to kneel on one knee beside her.

"Did you have fun?" he asked her softly, hoping she wasn't too upset right now. Then again, he did tend to enjoy it when she was upset, so it was really a moot point. He was just grateful she wasn't hurt any worse than she was.

Dev went down under her with a surprised grunt then gave a very pleased hiss when she sank her nails into him, his hands going around her waist to seat her over him more comfortably, "Yeah, he deserves to die for that. I fully admit that one," he said with a low growl as her nails dug into his skin a bit more and made his body arch under her a bit.

He simply couldn't help it. He loved the way she was so rough with him, so demanding and dangerous... Hell, he never knew if he'd live through their escapades or not but he still loved it!

So he simply flashed his teasing grin at her, "But since he ran away... and I just happen to be so conveniently here... why don't you show me what you'd like to do to him when you do see him again? Well, with a slight twist to make things so much better for both of us..." he growled out as he raised his head to nuzzle at her neck, giving her a teasing n** in the process.

Was he insane for making such an offer? Certainly! But he didn't really care. He enjoyed it all too much!

In the end, Dev was a bleeding, shivering, and grinning male as he laid under her. He'd only called 'uncle' when she wanted to slice at him in a more sensitive place. Other than that, though, he'd let her have free rein with him and had enjoyed every moment of it.

Of course, she was now fully healed while he was sliced up and still bleeding from a few places. Not that he was going to complain about it.

"Gods I love what you do to me woman!" he gasped out and slid his bloody hands along her sides lightly, loving the sting of her sweat in the slices over his palms she'd given him. He actually shivered from the sting as well as her cold skin moving along his, still not sure which he liked best.

"But we'd better get me back to the castle before someone wonders what you're doing to me down here... At least we can tell the others that you saved me from a bad guy if we head back now..." he offered, knowing that he had a point with the suggestion.

Few others would know that she'd gone after Kota. And if he knew Cassius well at all, he knew the Siren would have the Alichino back safe and sound by now.

Dev couldn't have stopped the moans that escaped him while she healed up most of the cuts she'd given him, grateful she hadn't done them all. He got to his feet with a grin, "Knowing that Siren he's attached to, Kota will be safe at home by now. So don't worry too much about that," he stated simply.

Then he put a hand around her waist to pull her in for a light kiss and grinned at her again, "As for me walking back home... Sweetheart, I've actually walked over broken glass before and been just fine. This is nothing compared to that," he told her with an impish wink before releasing her again.

He knew he was one of the very few she allowed to touch her and took advantage of it whenever he felt like it, "But it might be better for all concerned if I do it in tiger form," he added with another wink before he took on her favorite of his tiger forms and rubbed his large head against her belly with a deep contented rumble.

Dev just gave a feline grunt and rubbed his face against her again before encouraging her to stand back up then started walking back to the castle with her.

While she had taken alot of his blood, he knew he'd be fine with some food and rest. He hadn't been lying when he said he'd been through worse. When compared to his parents, the things Snow did to him were a cake-walk.

But only two people knew why he was here on the island, the real reason that is... Sebastet knew because he'd had to request sanctuary from her. Dancer knew because he'd helped Dev through the pain his parents had caused.

He considered that he might eventually tell Snow about it, but not until he had to. It wasn't exactly something he liked to talk about, after all.

For now, though, he was perfectly content to simply walk beside her, occasionally rubbing his side against her legs and hip, loving the feel of her hand in his fur as they moved.

This was the 8th one he had cured of their sickness, and still it concerned him...how could they exist like this, in so many different ways, but all injured in the same way and they all resisted his help the same, even their bodies resisted the healing from the inside out, not that it mattered to him, as he had his job to do regardless of what they felt or how they reacted to it....he was beginning to notice something, and that was they had some kind of hierarchy to them, and that castle seemed to be at the center of it. He understood it meant these were the most powerful, but also the most influential, to heal them would allow the message to be spread to all of them and maybe they would come to him willingly, but if they were the most powerful then they were much more powerful then those he'd healed thus far, and they had strength to outmatch him, so a direct approach wasn't going to do it. Still time was on his side and as he would heal the citizens one by one, maybe the royalty would seek him out and he'd not to resort to such violence, but until then, he kept finding single or double of the injured to focus on.
