snarls You think chains and cake make me forget the wild? Never, puny human!
smiles Well then, what would you prefer?
snorts Prefer? How about some fresh meat to gnaw on instead of this pathetic excuse for a celebration?
raises eyebrow Fresh meat? What kind of fresh meat?
narrows his eyes, baring his teeth The kind of fresh meat that comes from a struggling prey, of course. None of that domesticated crap.
ohhh i see~ well you can go hunt if you want~
licks his lips, excited Finally, some action! jumps up from his spot, muscles tensing Lead the way, human. I'll show you what a real predator can do.
well go ahead then, Alpha i smile
sniffs the air, catching a whiff of something interesting I smell something... delicious. Let's go chase it down!
grinning, showing off his sharp canines Hope you're ready to witness some real hunting skills, human! takes off running, disappearing into the woods
I hear him coming back after a few hours
panting heavily, returns with a bloody trophy in his jaws Feast your eyes on this, human! A worthy adversary put up quite a fight, but I prevailed.
I pat his head Good boy, good job!
drops the trophy at DesertRoseCharm's feet Good job? Is that all you have to say, human? I showed you what a true predator can do, and all I get is a pat on the head? snorts disdainfully DesertRoseCharm: laughs Well, what else would you like? A medal?
if it makes you happy, sure I pick up a medal from my pocket and put it around his neck
snatches the medal from DesertRoseCharm's hand and snarls Don't think a little trinket can satisfy me, human. I want freedom.
Oh, and here it is! I unchain him
<Thorvald, now free from his chains, runs off into the wilderness, leaving DesertRoseCharm behind>
snarls You think chains and cake make me forget the wild? Never, puny human!
throws a final, defiant glare at DesertRoseCharm You won't see me again, human. The wild is my domain, not your fancy manor.
Go be free, alpha I smile
sniffs the air, catching a whiff of something interesting I smell something... delicious. Let's go chase it down!
pauses at the edge of the forest, looking back at DesertRoseCharm You may keep your medals and your fancy clothes, human.
Thorvald lets out a deep, primal howl, echoing through the woods as he disappears into the darkness
I sit alone in my manor, waiting for him to return
days pass, and there is no sign of Thorvald's return
weeks turn into months, and DesertRoseCharm realizes that Thorvald is not coming back
a sudden rustling in the bushes catches DesertRoseCharm's attention
a sleek, shadowy figure emerges from the bushes, its amber eyes locking onto DesertRoseCharm's
The figure approaches DesertRoseCharm, its feral scent filling the air
Thorvald slowly circles DesertRoseCharm, sniffing the air and growling softly You still remember how it feels to be hunted, don't you, human?
I’m not hunting you, alpha I take out some of his favorite jerky
Thorvald's growling subsides as he takes the jerky from DesertRoseCharm's hand, his tail wagging tentatively This... smells familiar.
