[closed] Cannibals having lunch

Who: Argilla and Gale.
When: April 29th.
Where: Southern part of Tea.
Notes: A little lunch with former aggressors. Aka Gale and Argilla eat them so cannibalism abounds here sorry.

Bandits weren’t exactly familiar when they were attacked once in Tea. And oh how happy Argilla had been to have her feet on solid ground that didn’t rock with the motion of the ocean. It was soothing enough at night, making keeping a watch nearly impossible, but during the day it just served to remind her of how uncomfortable she was surrounded by so much water. The ground was so far away that she would be virtually useless with specialized jutsu if they were attacked. It made her nervous.

There was just one problem, the sea was ultimately safer than land. They weren’t off the boat more than a couple hours nor had they strayed very far from the shore before a small group of bandits made the worst mistake of their lives. Of course their mistake was good for them. It’d been some time since they’d last had a decent meal. And as much as it made Argilla’s stomach turn, she couldn’t deny that she was hungry and devouring them was much needed.

In the shade of a tree and no longer in her towering demon form, Argilla watches as Gale cuts up one of the corpses. Her stomach growls loudly in anticipation an echo to Prithivi’s chatter of how good that meat was going to taste and how good she was going to feel afterwards. She couldn’t be sure of the first part, but she couldn’t argue with the last. She would feel better after eating. Stronger and less like she could consume an entire large summon on her own never mind the needs of the rest of her tribe.

“How’s it coming?” She can’t bring herself to refer to the corpse as a person, it reminds her too much of those early days where she fasted out of some childish belief that she was above her hunger. That she wouldn’t suffer if she didn’t eat and she came so close to doing the exact same thing as Gale. If it hadn’t been for Sera...she glances at the body and hates how it makes her mouth water.
