[The moment those claws bear down on sensitive flesh, breath stills within Eridanus' lungs. The beast above him purrs with the pleased indolence of a housecat; and yet, when that crooked smile splits and a serpentine tongue lolls from its cage, something else entirely floods his system. Hot and heady, fearful excitement sends his mind swimmingโand before he can muster a thought towards anger, a desirous noise escapes him.
But still, he claps a hand to his mouth, as if that were all it took to stop the thoughts that suddenly needle at himโand he has to will himself to keep his gaze up, on the face that leers above him.]
You've got to be kidding me... [He exhales, eyes wide with the horrible twist of pride and terror at once.] Become your pet? I am a... a Lord!
