Cat & Mouse

The Cavern

The group set up camp for the night. This time they had found an underground cavern, and it was big enough for everyone. Blaze of course made the fire, and again it was canine like creatures on the menu. While he made sure the humans got settled in and cared for, Archer had disappeared a little deeper into the cavern. After glancing around Roxy noticed Archer wasn't there. Looking around more she saw the trail of bright green liquid. She stood and followed the trail to find him. There was a lot, much more than she thought. He didn't act like he was injured that much. She quickened her pace. When she found him his mask was already removed and he was currently taking off his armor. She walked over to him. "Let me help." She said and he just looked at her. "I'm fine, human." he said. Roxy rolled her eyes. "My name is Roxeanne or Roxy. Call me human or female one more time and I'm going to make out with you." Archer just stared at her blankly. Then began typing into wrist gauntlet. Roxy snorted. "Make out means kissing but with tongues." She said. Archer began typing again. Based on the photos that showed up she knew he looked up what kissing was and she laughed at his confused expression. "I guess if you guys don't know what love is, you wouldn't know kissing either considering you don't have lips like we do. But I will damn well try. So call me by my name or that's your future." She threatened. Archer quickly closed out of his search because the kissing was beginning to get raunchy. "Now like it or not I'm helping you." She said, and made him sit down.

When he did she began taking the rest of his armor off. She also took off his version of a shirt that was underneath the armor. Now that he was half nude she really got a look at just how muscular they were. They did indeed look like they had been sculpted by the gods. She noticed they didn't have nipples, but their chests and backs were broad and muscular, and he had abs. An eight pack of abs to be precise. She could also see the rippling muscles and the veins in his arms and his legs. Ignore the scary face and they were a ten out ten. But even with the face in a game of smash or pass she'd choose smash all day and all night. She cleared her throat. Focus Roxy. Fix first, smash later. she thought internally. She looked at his wounds. He only had a few but they were all very deep. He pulled out their metal first-aid kit. He began taking small rocks and dirt and dropped them into the satellite looking dish. Again he pulled out the familiar blue liquid and poured it into the dish as well. Mixing it up to make that same blue paste. He also brought out a stapler. Using one hand, he held the skin on his leg together, and with the other he began stapling it. He didn't flinch even a little bit. Placing staple after staple. Roxy just stared, the only sound echoing through the cavern was the sound of the stapler punching into his skin. He took care of most of the wounds by himself. But when he couldn't reach he turned that area towards her.

She was dreading the paste, and that was what remained. She gently moved his locks out of the way staring at the wounds. "Don't be afraid. I won't do anything. If it troubles you so much just go back and bring Zgură." Archer said. "I am afraid... But that's because I don't want to see anyone else get hurt or die. That includes you and your brother." She answered honestly. Archer just nodded. She scooped up the paste and began to apply it into the bite marks. His body tensed, she could see all of his muscles constricting under the pain. She knew this stuff hurt enough to make humans pass out. If tensing was the most they did, their pain tolerance must be sky high. Either that or they were really good at holding it in. After she had finished applying it into all the wounds Archer began dressing again. Roxy grabbed his hand and he looked into her eyes questioningly. "I think you should leave them off. What if they rub and open your wounds again." She said lowly. She slowly slid her hand up his forearm, and to his bicep, then shoulder before tracing it across his collarbone and then down from one side of his chest to the other. Next she slid it down and over his abs. He grabbed her hand. "Do not flirt with me or tempt me, human." he challenged. Roxy raised a brow. "I warned you to never call me that again." she challenged him right back, before pressing her lips to the fangs behind his mandibles. Just when he was about to respond with either a growl or a roar, his mistake was opening those fangs because she thrust her tongue inside of his mouth capturing his tongue. Archer froze, his body tense and his autumn eyes widened. Roxy slid herself into his lap, straddling him. She grabbed his hands, making him wrap his arms around her waist, then she cupped the sides of his face bringing him closer as she intertwined her tongue with his in an intricate dance.
