Turning his lip downwards in disapproval when the branch he’d been poking Aleric with was pushed away, he’d originally poked Aleric to check for signs of life but after a poke he’d found himself quickly getting addicted to the playful unpleasantness of poking someone with the tip of a prickly branch. Seeing the blonde squirm and roll around a bit had been pretty fun, and somewhere deep in his mind Zeke made a note to try it again later if the chance presented itself.
“Boiled it is then, you’re a bit too big to fit in the pot, so I’ll cut you up into little pieces first, okay?” he asked, the serious tone of Aleric’s face in his own voice. The man’s argument of not having enough meat wasn’t much of an issue for the wolf-man seeing as how Zeke didn’t really understand the art of cooking. If anything the thought of roasting meat over the fire and having it cook pretty quickly made him salivate. Emphasizing his comment with a crazed cannibalistic look that genuinely seemed to view Alaric as nothing more than a juicy lump of steak.
Seeing the man get to his feet though, Zeke slowly backed away, the crazed look vanishingly instantly as Zeke realized that the man wasn’t as badly beaten as he looked. That made him dangerous. As far as Zeke knew there were two types of creatures in this world. Those that fled from you in fear, and those who preyed on you as a predator…. And seeing as how Aleric wasn’t trembling in fear, ogling him with wide-eyed terror, or sprinting off accompanied by a scream…. That made his intentions awfully clear… at least in Zeke’s mind.
Going stiff as the man approached him and bombarded him with a series of questions, Zeke’s mind had only started to decipher the words when he saw and felt the man poke at his ears…. Bad mistake. The next moment Zeke swung the branch vertically, and brought the rather hefty branch he’d been poking Aleric with earlier firmly down on the blonde head. Unfortunately it hadn’t been enough to knock the man unconscious, but the wolf-man’s expression had changed once more into something much more feral and unfriendly, brows furrowed and teeth exposed. He’d even managed a brief snarl before sprinting a safe distance from the other. The man clearly had no common sense. Touching a man’s ears like that was like walking up to a woman and lifting up her skirt, or walking up to some gangster on the street and rubbing a hand against their inner thigh.
Ears perked up and tail furiously bristled and lashing around to express his displeasure, he suddenly picked up the familiar sounds from earlier, a sound he’d failed to pick up earlier because of his concentration being diverted. But after hearing Aleric speak in a voice quite different to his own, Zeke could now decipher the sounds coming from not too far away to be the voice of… what sounded like a ditzy hyperactive high-pitched and squeaky version of his own voice. There was more than one of them around? Was Aleric the decoy, while others circled around him and guaranteed the kill? The blonde had mentioned something about eating Zeke hadn’t he?
“Nice try, but I’m too smart for you!” Zeke smugly smirked, triumphantly thinking he’d seen through the man’s deviously conniving plan. “I’m not telling you anything lunch” ” he added, turning tail and scampering off back towards the school, though before he gained any reasonable ground he paused to turn around and poke his tongue out childishly contradicting his message only moments prior “I’m going home before lunch decides to bite back, bye!”
And with that he was off again, it was unfortunate that his path of retreat intersected with the oncoming voices, but then again Aleric didn't look like he was too fast on his feet, so kin that were circling him couldn't be any better right?
