Re: This is a Great Plan (Smokefish, Host, Hentaispider, and Hafnium)
Kherem’s fist found his attacker in no real position to get out of the way, and while she managed to avoid taking it at the worst possible angle, the kitsune’s punch still hurt all the same. The fury in his eyes and in the blow was enough of an answer for the human, but that didn’t mean she’d stop after taking one punch – even one as strong as the one she had received, sharply aching underneath the adrenaline. Taking a second hit like that would probably prevent her from fighting back, though, so the human grabbed Kherem’s arms, hoping to keep him from continuing to strike, despite the fact that he was probably stronger than her. At any rate, they found themselves surrounded before either one gained a good position in the grapple, and when they were asked to desist, the human grumbled, “Spoilsports…”
Still, she had already gotten her answer, and Kherem seemed to intend to stop fighting, so she allowed him to answer the interlopers, tagging along as he left. She was rather tenderly feeling the extent of the blow a few steps later, and after a moment of rubbing, broke the silence with the fuming kitsune; "...Nice punch." Though she didn't exactly sound remorseful, Melissa spoke with not half the fevered energy she seemed to usually possess.
"I get it, now. I did something pretty terrible, jumping you when you couldn't fight back."
Well, it might be a bit of a stretch to say that she 'got it'. The moderately human warrior still had no appreciation of why a capable and horny pretty-much-anything would refuse sex - or, even less, would be upset about having it... but that wasn't something that Melissa needed to understand. The fury on Kherem's face as he held nothing back, attacking with intent and force quite capable of wounding... this wasn't some half-assed, verbal-whining-only annoyance because she stole some of his portion of a meal, or poked him in the nose, or tickled him until his sides hurt. Apparently, being taken against his will violated Kherem in more than just the physical, dick-into-pussy sense of the term. So, she stopped, looking the dogman in the eye (or calling him to catch her gaze with a straightforward "Oi! Look!" if he didn't oblige her).
"I shouldn't have done it. And, now that I know, I won't do it again." she spoke, unflinchingly staring down the taller humanoid, sure in her intentions.
She continued to stare for a few seconds longer, if the kitsune didn't break contact or say anything of importance. Finally, if she felt that her point had gotten through and Kherem didn't open any questions of his own, Melissa's mood turned on a dime, instantly back to a happy grin. "Well, let's go!" came her words, following moments after her legs had again begun moving her further out of the arena commons.
