Ruudi looked at the blinded wolf with satisfaction before putting away the claws. His annoyance at the lowly creature trying to prey on him was already washed off. With blood..yes, but still, Ruudi felt better with that off his chest.
"Well... aren't you going to kill it?" Artalis questioned, bored. It had seen and done more brutal things, so the violence didn't even manage to rouse a single emotion in her.
'Huh... wonder what it takes to make her suprised?'
Ruudi bent down to poke the muscles only to withdraw his head back in a flash as the maw shut where his head had been.
Ruudi gave another kick, this one knocking the canines out as well as disfiguring the wolf's jaws. Blood and saliva mixed with soil as the once majestic shifter laid on the ground, struggling to hold back it's pitiful whimpers. But the light never left its eyes.
"I think I get why you prefer this one over others" Artalis finally replied; " don't mistake , i still think that you are sick in the head, but yeah. This one's definitely special."
"Yeah. Almost too special" Ruudi replied as he closed in on it.
'Growl'
The wolf grumbled when Ruudi kicked it once more for a good measure.
"Oi you, ....i know you can inderstand me." Ruudi said as he gave it a light tap on its head. The thing growled, but that was it, it was barely even conscious at the moment.
"Blink once if you don't agree and blink twice if you do. " Seeing no reply, Ruudi insisted, "and you better take this seriously, because I have a preposition that might just perk up your interest."
Still no response making sighed. This wouldn't do. He wanted it, so badly so. But this thing was too stubborn. Or it might just be the concussion settling in.
"What are you-"
Artalis's question was cut short as Ruudi pierced his hand through the shifter's chest, straight through the rib, before grasping it's heart, and taking control of its blood.
The wolf's eyes widened, almost popping out of its sockets, as it slowly turned its head down downwards. It tried to move , only to feel a paralysis settling in. It looked at Ruudi in his eyes, making him smile.
"Finally got your attention, didn't I. You got what i said earlier right? So Ill only ask one question." Ruudi leaned down, bringing his face to it's own. "Do you want to live, or do you want to die?"
