 *Ives was enjoying himself quite a bit. Looking to catch his prey before someone else could get to it was a very fun game, and he had all sorts of lovely ideas about what to do when he found it . . .

*The best method of hunting was always to make the prey come to you, in Ives' opinion. When it came to prey like this, that meant bait--and the best bait for a petty monster like this one was poor, sad, pathetic Colqhoun.*

Is there anyone out here? I'm lost . . .

It's absolutely lovely, I must say. Far too rare that anyone in the know eats my food willingly.

[clawsandhijabs]

I'm not exactly human. I'm a dragon.

[colonelcannibal]

Which explains it, yes, but that doesn't make it any less . . . pleasant.

[clawsandhijabs]

My kind's been hunting humans for years though.

[colonelcannibal]

I've still been lonely. Dragons are a bit thin on the ground.

Or should I say in the air?

[clawsandhijabs]

Not all dragons fly. Some live in water.

[colonelcannibal]

Land, sea and sky, then.

[clawsandhijabs]

Yup

[colonelcannibal]

I must admit, I envy you your flight.

[clawsandhijabs]

Really?

[colonelcannibal]

The world must be beautiful from so high above . . .

[clawsandhijabs]

It is. You'd love it.

*Ives smiles, then takes the human's tongue off the fire and cuts it down the middle.* Would you like an appetizer?

[clawsandhijabs]

Yeah. I'd love an appetizer.

[colonelcannibal]

*He offers her half of the tongue, which is quite beautifully cooked by now.* Let's make him watch, hmm? *And with that he neatly snips off the man's eyelids.*

[clawsandhijabs]

Ah I've never thought of that before. Unique...

[colonelcannibal]

If anyone deserves it . . .

[clawsandhijabs]

Parvina sat next to Ives and got a fork.

[colonelcannibal]

*The food was delicious, of course--especially for Ives.* It's always so lovely to indulge myself like this.

[clawsandhijabs]

If I drank, I'd suggest wine. Maybe sparkling grape juice instead?

[colonelcannibal]

I have apple juice and grape juice, which would you prefer?

[clawsandhijabs]

Grape, please...

[colonelcannibal]

*He pours her a glass.* I haven't gotten to share a meal like this in . . . I don't know, but it's been far too long. It's great fun.

[clawsandhijabs]

She took a sip of it and nodded. "Yeah..."

[colonelcannibal]

*He finishes his appetizer and goes to check on the soup.* Almost done, I think.
