“Whatever I want. I might have you just sit on my lap while I do some work, or maybe I’ll play with you some other way…~”
He raised an eyebrow at the bite. The tentacle curling around to stroke the kitten’s ears as a form of retaliation.
“If I had it my way, yes. However, if you don’t like it then you’re free to leave whenever you wish. Playthings who get bored and tired are no fun at all.”
He glanced down at her, amusement bright in his eyes. Purposely ignoring the first part of her statement.
ㅤquite the bold one he was , leading her along to which she merely allowed and walked with his arm around her form - a soft chuckle coming from the woman .
‘ I am not a plaything , and days? You intend to keep me locked up with you for quite some time don't you? ’
“Well, I can’t let my new plaything get away now, can I?”
He smirked down at her, arm tightening around her waist. Before he began to lead them off towards his palace, intent on enjoying his newfound entertainment.
“You wouldn’t mind staying a few days with me, would you?”
ㅤ
ㅤa smile came to her lips once lowered , though the look of surprise quickly replaced it once the arm captured her instead .
‘ Enjoy having me captured in your grasp, do you ? ’
ㅤa soft laugh left the woman , finding his clinging humorous in a way as the smile came back .
Eyebrows raised with surprise at the tendril wrapped around his own. But it only served to make him more intrigued about this person.
“…Apologies. I just can’t seem to help myself sometimes.”
Lowering her to the ground by his side. Wrapping an arm around her waist instead.
ㅤstatting to get over the initial fluster of it the sudden tendril of her own would sink out from under her skirt and wrap around his to lightly pull on it .
‘ No , though if you wouldn't mind keeping the tentacles to yourself mister. You'll wrinkle the fabric. ’
The tendril around them seems to twitch and tighten at their pokes and rubs. Orion could feel that.
“Good. Then you won’t mind staying with me for a few days?”
" Let me think.... No, only a case that I already have figured out, so- I'm free! "
The feline pokes and rubs his tentacle curiously, ears twitching. They had no reason to be cautious, so- Why not?
“To my palace. You don’t have anywhere to be right now, do you?”
A small glance was given back at him, finding the other’s casual acceptance rather amusing. They would make for fun entertainment tonight…
“Orion.”
He kept her suspended there for a moment, simply looking her over. Before the edge of his lips curved with a smile.
Lowering her to his side, yet he kept the tentacle wrapped around her.
“Tell me a little about yourself. Do you have family or friends here with you?”
ㅤ
ㅤgetting lifted and brought forward only made the soft tinge of red spread on her visage looking him over .
‘ Ophelia , or just Ophi for short. . . And you are? ’
A smile lifted the corner of his lips. The tentacle around the kitten tightened just a little, before lifting them off the ground.
And the prince turned on his heel and began walking back to his palace. Taking his new interest with him.
The tentacle around her gently lifts her up and brings her towards the prince. Orion looks her up and down, curious about the new face.
“I haven’t seen you around before… Who are you?”
