Eira liked it here; or at least she did to some extent. With what had happened to Kimen, she felt as though this place had to be infested with demons... But, that was what she was here for, wasn't it? Ah, where would the red panda be without her? Eira felt a protective feeling arise in her chest, and she looked around to make sure he was still close by.

Though she might have been esoteric to some, Eira knew where it was that her thoughts lay. She knew how she felt, she knew what was her goal. And she assumed, so did he. The young otter smiled with a twitch of her whiskers, a rare sight, and looked around with a single dark red eye.

And then she felt it; that demon that was hunger, clawing at her belly.

The white otter seemed visibly distasted but nontheless, at least she knew how to handle this demon. She stalked towards the water and gazed beyond her reflection. There she waited, until she noticed a flicker of silver, and lunged. She felt her teeth sinking into silvery hide and pulled back, soaked, her jaws hooked around a fish- a small fish, but big enough for a single meal.

She felt saliva well up, but first had to check on her charge. Spinning atound with the fish still flapping and twitching weakly, she waddled towards Kimen, and dropped the fish at his paws. "Are you hungry?"

Just so long as there were no more demons on him.

@Kimen

Kimen observed the gift that Eira had dived into the water to retrieve for him. It was a fish gasping for its last breaths and struggling on the floor. Kimen was hungry, he knew that for sure, but if he was hungry enough to eat something so vile looking, he didn't know. He looked into the aquatic creature's ever open eyes and gagged. He gagged so loudly that it was too loud to hide in politeness, not wanting to offend Eira who had gone to some effort just to feed him.

"No no-" He coughed, the smell of the now dead fish filling his nostrils, "I'll be fine, feed your demons first." He teased, knowing exactly how his partner thought. The sight of the fish did nothing to satiate his tastebuds, he didn't like the idea of eating something, or someone, that had once lived. To him the idea of eating something that had been born, been through the hardships of life and had experienced the displeasures of living was unsatisfying. Plant life, or flora, sounded much more appetising to him.

@Eira

Eira wrinkled her nose, tipping her head slightly to one side as the fur along her spine prickled. The noise he made... Suggested that something wasn't right. Eira looked uncertainly into his eyes, her eye darting from his face, to the fish. Were the demons getting stronger? But as he spoke, Eira slowly started to understand. "Ah... If you think so," she said with a small nod. "They won't last much longer," she reassured.

"Do you want me to catch you another?" she asked, raising her gaze towards him once more. Slowly she began to lower herself to the ground and tore off a small chunk of meat. She chewed dramatically, exposing sharp fangs for a moment. Doing so only seemed to make her hungrier, and she bent to hungrily finish the job.

@Kimen

"No!..." He gagged, he felt his response was a little too aggressive but he couldn't digest such a thing. Despite the fact that they had coalesced together they had rarely ate with one and other around, often straying off to find something to eat only to try catch up later. "I'll be able to grab something else myself, thank you for the offer though." He continued courteously. He observed her eating and it unnerved him slightly, he never expected to see such sharp talons belonging to someone so kind and gentle as his Eira.

@Eira

Eira flinched at the sound that Kimen made, seemingly in response to her. The otter narrowed her eye for a moment, tilting her head to one side, and dropped a chunk of fish she'd been holding in her mouth. It hit the other remains with a small splattering sound, and she licked flecks of blood from the whiskers around her mouth before eyeing him. She believed him on that he would find something of course, but if he was hungry, he had to eat something. Or he wouldn't be able to find anything at all!

Eira sighed deeply, eventually dipping her head and munching on the chunk she'd dropped. One would have heard the sound of splintering bone, and seen the mustelid throwing her head back to chew it better in several cycles before there was only a couple of splinters left, which she knocked into the lagoon with an overly-aggressive sweep of her paw.

"Now, I'll catch one for you," she declared, licking her whiskers a couple more times so that the once pristine white fur around her muzzle was more pink than red. She began to waddle towards the edge with her brows creased in determination
