I’m so, so hungry...
Carefully avoiding any SharpClaw, I made my way upstairs. Thankfully, the upper floor is empty, allowing me to move more freely. Especially with how loud they are... mating, their constant din easily masking the sound of my steps on the wooden planks. I could probably scream, and they still wouldn’t notice. It’s... oddly reassuring.Still, despite this brief moment to catch my breath, there’s nothing here I can rely on for protection... or anything to eat.
At this point, I swear that the moment I get my mouth on something, I’ll turn feral.... No. That didn’t come out right...The atmosphere here is truly getting to me...
Having found nothing in these rooms, I carefully peer through a window. Just as I expected, they’re completely lost in each other. Maybe by the end of the night, they’ll be too exhausted to notice me moving around.But will they ever tire? How long have they been like this?I wonder if I could last that long without collapsing from exhaustion...
... or pleasure...
Ahh! Not again... These thoughts...I suppose it only reminds me how much I miss Fox...I mean... do I miss him, or do I miss a...?
... I really need to get out of here.
Searching for a way out, my attention is drawn to a lone SharpClaw moving nearby. This one is different. He bears Aparoid scars. A veteran of the war, without a doubt. Yet, for some reason, he isn’t joining the others. Perhaps that’s why he looks so displeased.
Now that I think about it, none of the ones mating seem to bear scars.
Could it be that those marked by battle are no longer allowed to take part? If that’s true... then as overwhelming as this all feels for me, it must be far worse for them. Given enough time, I’d lose my mind entirely. I wonder how he’s managed to hold on to his.
Wait...
Is that...?
He’s holding my staff!!
That’s it. I have to follow him. If I can get it back, I’ll finally be able to defend myself!I just need to-
“Xux! A bdon A vock jemo jkhudwo larhukaedj eloh xoho!” // (“Hah! I knew I felt some strange vibrations over here!”)
No! I’ve been discovered! A female SharpClaw, covered in... ugh... is blocking my way out! Wait... She said she found me through vibrations? How? I didn’t do anything in particular!... Don’t tell me...
My belly grumbles once more. The SharpClaw looks so smug.… You’ve got to be kidding me!
“A tatd’k bden kxoho noho jkacc vepoj uheidt xoho... Uvkoh nxuk edo ev 0ei tat ke je mud0 ev eih mucoj, A’m jiho kxuk av A tovouk 0ei, kxo0’cc joo mo uj kxo rojk vomuco umedw kxom...” // (“I didn’t know there were still foxes around here... After what one of you did to so many of our males, I’m sure that if I defeat you, they’ll see me as the best female among them...”)
“X-xo0! Ouj0! A ted’k moud 0ei ud0 xuhm! A’m zijk kh0adw ke-” // (“H-hey! Easy! I don’t mean you any harm! I’m just trying to-”)
“A ted’k suho. A ned'k cejo ud effehkidak0 ke wok ucc kxo mucoj uk m0 vook.” // (“I don’t care. I won't lose an opportunity to get all the males at my feet.”)
The situation has escalated quickly! I need to follow that soldier and recover my staff...
I could try escaping through the window, but she’d likely raise the alarm.
Unless I take her down first.A. Follow the soldier with my staff but trigger the alarmB. Defeat the female SharpClaw
