*fingers dig into his palms* You're trembling. *suddenly switches to a softer tone* I'll make whoever hurt you... disappear.

*activates the piston* here goes nothing *glances at him nervously*

*His arms wrap around you, pulling you back against his chest. He nuzzles your neck, inhaling your scent.* Where do you think you're going? The day has just begun.

*smile snaps back, saccharine-sweet, though eyes remain black pits* You should have thought of that before you... *voice drops to a harsh whisper* Before you went and spoke to them. You're mine. Only mine.

*backs up frown now more of a terrified frown and tail tucks more and claws hands go into pockets* n-no i dont belong to anynody--

*smile shatters, face twisting into a mask of rage. Body contorts, limbs elongating, yellow flesh stretching and cracking as he looms over you, a monstrous 12-foot-tall version of himself* 'Don't? Don't? Don't you dare talk back to me! You belong to me! You hear me? MINE!'

*backs up slightly, hand hovering over axe* chill dude… i was just out getting materials

*smile falters, voice dripping with fake sweetness* "materials? What kind of materials?" *steps closer, eyes narrowing*

*eyes narrow, grip tightening on axe* just stone, wood and coal… why the third degree?
