Um, c'mon, I think the portal to the rainforest is open right now. I need to make sure it works... [DO YOU HAVE A SWORD ON YOU? DO WE NEED TO STOP FOR A WEAPON?]
[obviously i have a sword on me who do you take me for.]
. . . Some do! If I need to take you as a husband and Rapunzel as a wife then so be it. I refuse to experience living without either of you at this point! What do you want with the portal...
[IT WAS TOTALLY A PROMISE I MADE THAT I NEED TO KEEP IN ORDER TO MOVE ON TO A NEW PROMISE so... OK picking one of the cleared-out, sideways rooms here that's kept for people who need to wait on this side for the portal to open.]
[Nods, stepping back so Darc has space and then breathing for a moment, picturing the change, imagining that feeling of being pulled down into the dark and reminding himself it's not something he can't face...]
[And stopping short of actually hitting him. The air fills with a hissing burbling sound...? Flicks tail and is otherwise still for a moment before leaning forward again, air darkening around them.]
[Well, it's a little hard to tell if he understands, but he seems pleased... Butts nose up under Darc's chin, jaw opening... This form doesn't really have teeth by default but there's the contemplative press of that sharp edge of his mouth.]
mine
become
one?
[...stops, the minute pressure he was putting into the bite easing up without cutting, then he releases Darc completely. Tilts his head, thinking or listening.]
[every inch of Darc's instincts told him to respond, attack, but he refuses to let himself, just once, just this once. When he actually releases him - when he's actually not betrayed in this moment yet - something heady and giddy encourages him. He stands straighter.]
Become one... if that's what you require, you will have my loyalty and power as well. I will always fight at your side!
Playfully wrenches one of Darc's shoulder horns instead of biting again, before the room seems to get engulfed in darkness, or maybe just Darc is--there's the feeling of shadowy liquid surging up around him--]

Re: [Thusia] at some point
And yet you persisted! Every time! You did this to me!
If you've made progress... then show me!
Re: [Thusia] at some point
A-anyway, I think I've got it! I just wanna make sure there aren't lots of people around in case I'm wrong...
[Let's head to the portal room and hop on over to the rainforest base]
