He'd never felt blood slowly drying on him before. It... was weird. He scratched at some of it on his wrist as he watched her slowly reach into her bag. He perked up visibly.
Last time she'd retrieved something, there'd been sweets.
He stared at the little can. Slowly, he took it from her, smearing it with blood from his fingers. He turned it over. It was... hard. There were pink spots, but he didn't think they were edible. He licked the pink lid to confirm.
Not good.
Maybe she was under the impression that he just liked the color. He'd been licking a lot of pink things, before. Not all of them had tasted as good as the first one.
Did that mean this was supposed to be an offering? Tribute? He didn't know how many nights it had been — he didn't think many, in the same way that he had a vague sense that he'd been dormant a long time the first time she woke him. Like cobwebs gathered in his skull the more time he spent still.
The concept of tribute was within his base knowledge, those things he understood without thinking to question how. Something given, something gained. He didn't think that tribute was supposed to be for him. He wasn't going to ensure a good harvest, or protect anyone from harm. He thought. Unless he had.
This might be a misguided attempt to keep him from killing her, or a misguided attempt to thank him for not killing her before, or even a thanks for having killed those other intruders.
He set it down at his feet, deciding to investigate this situation further before he made any decisions. Until now, his only problem had been intruders, and his solution had been killing them. He'd never seen someone more than once, because he'd killed them. Chased off, on rare occasions, but mostly killed. Those few he'd scared away instead had never returned, and if they had, he would have killed them for it.
He'd definitely never given anyone an impromptu and clumsy semen bath. And she… she hadn't been good, necessarily. There'd been all that yowling and screeching and flailing and trying to trick him and running away. It had all been very dramatic and ungrateful. But maybe that was why she'd come back, to rectify how rude she'd been.
He tucked in one foot, and then the other, so that he was sitting cross-legged on the floor. The position required him to lean forward more than most people, so his tail could trail out comfortably behind him without bending unnaturally against the floor. Leaning forward was what he wanted, so that he could inspect her pants. There was a rip in the garment, and it seemed perfectly logical to him to tear it open wider so that he could better see what was happening beneath it.
Not that he knew anything about fixing a broken human. That was not his half of the equation. Cut humans bled, but whether they stopped bleeding or how was a mystery.
