SUMMONING . . . @rabbitraw whispered: i’m not scared, not of you. [ prompts. ]
THERE IS A DELICATE BALANCE IN THE WORLD [ … ] one that all must obey and keep their eye on. predator and prey; the hunter and the hunted. a shifting pyramid as time went on, established by not the strongest or most intelligent; but the one most willing to adapt. all primo had ever done was adapt. changing to fit an impossible mould, angering some and pleasing others. with obedient smiles and kind words to distract all that he is naught but a wolf in sheep’s clothing. a predator in a world full of prey — now the wolf stood before the rabbit.
gloved finger taps against bone - white design of his cane. another distraction from the bite of papa emeritus the first, forgetting that behind kind smiles lay fanged - canines. vampiric the very name. infernal eye staring down strong nose as a low chuckle left painted lips [ run, little rabbit / before his claws catch you. ] shining of pearl - white teeth in the dim light of the setting sun beyond. not long now, little one, the night is dark and full of terrors.
❝ is that so? my, what a brave little thing you are. ❞ slow, proud steps taken. approaching closer and closer. he can hear you, the blood that pumps through your veins. he may have turned his back on traditional hunts but when prey wanders into his home so willingly . . . ❝ because i am a gentleman, i shall give you a head start. ❞ tossing aside the cane without care, the distraction of it not needed. pulling leather gloves off his hands; revealing the classic talons of the skeletal papa. tossing the gloves aside with the cane. fanged - maw in a grin, predatory in how it grew too large. something not quite human nor beast. not quite him.
❝ ten seconds, yes? oh, that is plenty time. perhaps you should be afraid of me, little rabbit. go on, ❞ hands shoo at her, ❝ start running. ❞
