Stranded in the middle of a foresty nowhere, stuck with only a sobbing elf and a stranger he barely knew and surrounded by hundreds of ravenous beasts was not Klef's idea of a good day.
Then again, rarely was there ever such a thing as a 'good day' in his book.
"Kid I swear... now is a nice time to warp us!" Klef hissed at Aly who continued to sob.
Klef face palmed, perfect, just how he wanted to die.
"I don't know..." he replied meekly. "There are a lot of monsters that look like her, though... where I'm from. So I think she's-"
"YEP!" replied Mia, grinning at him. "I'm dead, I'm a Munak! But I'm Master's Munak so I don't go hunting peoples anymore, no..."
"What about..." began Heji, getting up and walking closer to the two. He stared Mia in the eyes for a moment. "...What about the girl in the other room?"
Mia's eyes widened. She looked rather nervous now. "Oh, nonono!" she said, shaking her hands slightly. "I just, I just, I was gonna make her a dress and she shouldn't see until I'm done so I tied her up and left her in that storage room..."
"...So-" "I didn't eat her yet! Don't tell Master, he doesn't like when I eat people that aren't suspicious...!"
And so Mia's veil of lies was dissipated, in the space of two paragraphs.
"Master's on an important mission," Mia said, smiling and nodding to her own statement. "He said it's another mansion and I'm not supposed to come on those, so he said to stay, so I stayed, and then I left."
Meanwhile, Heji struggled to answer his non-poison-related question. "Munaks are... um... the undead bodies of girls who... died because of love, I think. A seal animates their bodies and they... drink blood to keep preserved... I don't know how they're really made other than that..."
Mia nodded at this, too. "Oh oh, and my bite's not poison, but I gave somebody a disease once!"
Heji blinked, watching him. "D... Do you think that's... healthy?" he questioned.
Mia watched, looking somwhat transfixed for the moment. Heji noticed, and took the time to shift over to another door, opening it slowly and carefully, and revealling the bound young woman Mia had apparently tied up. As she was clothed, thankfully, Heji began untying the ropes without hesitance.
Klef stopped his momentary... cleaning to look at Heji in obvious scorn.
"What should I clean it with?" He demanded. "The water around here? As if, that thing's got more pollutants in it then the water in a drain off irrigation ditch." He muttered as he continued licking. "Saliva's actually the cleanest liquid in you." He commented, then glanced at Mia as he notied her staring.
"... what do you want?" He asked narrowing his eyes.
When she girl was released and immediately fled, Heji walked out and looked at Klef again. After a moment, he decided not to contrast his statement. Maybe he had something...
Mia blinked as Klef took notice of her, and hummed in thought, scratching her head. "...OH!" she shouted, holding a finger up. "I know who I saw do that before! The person I met one day in Morroc desert! ...Oh, wait, only he was a doggie..."
Heji looked at her. He had travelled there a couple of times... "You mean... a Desertwolf?"
Mia gasped, nodding and smiling. "Yeah yeah, that's it!"
Klef went red in the face as his ears twitched nervously.
"Well I'm NOT a fucking desert wolf." He said firmly giving her a harsh glare as he finished licking his wound, and interestingly enough, his spit seemed to hold healing properties as his wounds closed and sealed into barely noticeable scabs, that would most likely be gone by tomorrow.
Standing his gave himself a once over, and his tail waved to and fro, drying itself.
"... nothing else seems to be damaged. I want out." He finally said calmly glancing up.
Heji glanced up for a moment as well. Did he want to jump up to the roof? That would be odd... When he looked back to Klef, he suddenly tensed. Mia was tugging at his ears.
"OH FUCK NO!" He snapped flailing. Wrenching himself away from Mia he gave her a frightened look, images of intense pain already playing in his mind if Chicano found out he was intimately involved with- HOLD ON. What intimate? He would kill himself before then!
Mia looked back at him for a moment, before turning and hopping a few paces back and forth, apparently in thought. "Well, you got fuzzy ears and you're pretty tasty..." she contemplated, lost in her mind for a moment.
Heji, unsure how to react, looked over to Klef, fully aware of his excess terror. "...Do you want to find a way back now?"
"I don't know..." he replied meekly. "There are a lot of monsters that look like her, though... where I'm from. So I think she's-"
"YEP!" replied Mia, grinning at him. "I'm dead, I'm a Munak! But I'm Master's Munak so I don't go hunting peoples anymore, no..."
"What about..." began Heji, getting up and walking closer to the two. He stared Mia in the eyes for a moment. "...What about the girl in the other room?"

"...So-"
"I didn't eat her yet! Don't tell Master, he doesn't like when I eat people that aren't suspicious...!"
And so Mia's veil of lies was dissipated, in the space of two paragraphs.
"... does she have a poison bite? And what the fuck is a Munak? And if she has a master why isn't he goddamned here?!" He snapped.
Meanwhile, Heji struggled to answer his non-poison-related question.
"Munaks are... um... the undead bodies of girls who... died because of love, I think. A seal animates their bodies and they... drink blood to keep preserved... I don't know how they're really made other than that..."
Mia nodded at this, too. "Oh oh, and my bite's not poison, but I gave somebody a disease once!"
".... you need a rabies shot kid." He muttered annoyed as he checked the bite wound, small marks on his forearm, he was grateful she hadn't done more.
"Geez... better disinfect it..." He muttered as he brought the wound up to his mouth and began licking it, his ears twitching slightly as he did so.
"D... Do you think that's... healthy?" he questioned.
Mia watched, looking somwhat transfixed for the moment. Heji noticed, and took the time to shift over to another door, opening it slowly and carefully, and revealling the bound young woman Mia had apparently tied up. As she was clothed, thankfully, Heji began untying the ropes without hesitance.

When he looked back to Klef, he suddenly tensed.
Mia was tugging at his ears.
Something he did not take to very well.
"Listen you fucking runt..." He grumbled grabbing the offending hands red faced.
"Well I'm just kinda short..." she muttered.
Heji didn't like where this was going... Of course, he didn't exactly want to try stopping a battle if it broke out between them...
"Get this thing away from me dammit!" He hissed.
Mia gasped in surprise, pushing Klef down suddenly to lean and look at Heji. "I do...?"
(Supper, be back in a bit.)
"OH FUCK NO!" He snapped flailing. Wrenching himself away from Mia he gave her a frightened look, images of intense pain already playing in his mind if Chicano found out he was intimately involved with-
HOLD ON. What intimate? He would kill himself before then!
"Well, you got fuzzy ears and you're pretty tasty..." she contemplated, lost in her mind for a moment.
