Deirdre chuckled slightly, the Charizard sitting down on the ground beside the brown-furred Lucario. It seemed to take a moment for her weight to settle, bulky thighs spreading out on either side of her as her low-hanging belly spills out into her lap. A thick tail curled out slowly, wrapping around the two-legged canine’s waist and pulling him closer. The Lucario didn’t struggle at all, just chuckling himself as the tail pulls him snugly against her. He leaned in to rest his head on the side of her belly, listening to the odd noise and faint churning from inside. Deirdre always seemed to have a noisy belly, either rumbling in hunger or working over her latest meal.

“Favourite preythings?” She mused quietly, letting out a faint rumble as Blaine settled in beside her. “Well, as odd as it sounds I actually don’t like having prey around the same size as me. I’ve got a big enough belly for it sure, but it means I have to keep my neck stretched out at a really weird angle for a long time.” She reached up to rub a clawed hand at her neck, which curved slightly and rose up at least a foot from her shoulders.

“So from there it narrows down to… well, I suppose I like fur.” She giggled slightly, reaching down to run a claw across Blaine’s chest. “I like the texture, I like how it feels sliding down my throat. I like how sweat just beads up in there for some Pokemon and draws out the flavour even more.”

Blaine made a small noise beside her, only making Deirdre smile wider. She could feel his own sweat against her tail as she very subtly let her body heat up against him. She had a lot of practise over this sort of thing, he likely didn’t even notice the continuous slight raise in temperature. “And as far as personalities go… maybe it’s a bad thing to say but I do sometimes get bored with Pokemon who just want to take it slow, or want to set the pace themselves. And it feels good to reassure someone who’s nervous, but some of the really scared ones… it just makes me wonder why they’re there at all honestly.”

“So I guess what I like better is someone who can keep up with me. Someone who’s not going to get scared or back down. Someone who can handle a big girl like me throwing her weight around a little bit. Holding myself in check just… I do it because they enjoy it and I do enjoy that but… every now and then I just want to let loose. Let all my hunting instincts take over and not have to worry about the other person.”

She sighed happily, one of her wings stretching out and wrapping around Blaine’s shoulders. The action almost appeared subconscious, Deirdre was too busy looking up at the clouds. “And I actually like the wiggling too. Even after I swallow the seed sometimes my prey keeps moving and squirming around inside. I can’t even really say that it’s all about the movements, even though I do like them. It’s more… I like the knowledge that all of their struggling barely even makes a bulge. Knowing that all they’re doing is making me digest them faster. It’s… just something I try not to get too carried away with. I always make it safe. That’s the important thing.”

“And if you mean anyone here specifically… I think River would be a fun Pokemon to hunt, especially because I’m not sure who would win. I just don’t think we have that level of trust yet. Jayden is a good prey though, and Arya isn’t as much into the whole hunting thing but she can handle me being a bit rough like you can. Maybe I just have a thing for Lucarios.” She chuckled, squeezing Blaine tighter with her tail and hugging him closer with her wing.

The action hid him almost completely from sight. Deirdre grinned and tucked her head in under the wing as well. It gave them just enough privacy for her to sneak a small kiss, closing her eyes and rumbling louder as he kissed back. She shifted her head upward after breaking the contact, whispering into the Lucario’s ear.

“Speaking of which, I think this time I’ll give you ten minutes. Better start running, snack.”
