Rune Serrile
"No don't thank me...I'm no princess."
Rune wasn't sure what to say to that, really. He opened his mouth to say something, but then closed it when he couldn't form the words that expressed what he was thinking. It was quite strange for a princess to say that she wasn't a princess, and to do so raises some questions in the mind of who she says that to. Rune didn't know her very well at all, so he couldn't begin to think of her reasoning behind that, but he didn't have much time to think anyway. She reached up and grabbed him by the tie, effectively stopping him from thinking about her previous comment, and pulled him down.
He wasn't sure why, but when she pulled him down like that he thought she was about to kiss him. There was no reason why he should have thought that, but he did. It certainly looked like she was about to do just that, but rather than press her lips to his own, she moved further down and pressed them to the base of his neck. He felt her teeth move, and then he felt a sting where her mouth was as she bit him. He didn't push her away, mostly because he was momentarily too shocked that she had bit him to do so, but she stepped back without being made to.
She smiled innocently at him, cocking her head a bit to the side for effect. If Rune didn't but that look in context with what she had just done, he would have thought that she looked rather cute; instead, it only ticked him off. Several things he wanted to say rose to front of his mouth, and he opened his mouth to say all of them, but a hard push on his back made his mouth snap close and made him move forward several steps. Hebi came up behind him, both hands firmly planted on his back as she pushed him on towards the food and away from the princess. As they walked away, Hebi turned back to stare evilly at Bella. Her green eyes were brighter than normal, and her pupils had changed from round to slits, like a snake, making her look quite intimidating. She didn't say anything, but fixed her glare on the princess until they had reached the line for food. Only when the server asked Hebi what she wanted to eat did she turn her head away and let her eyes return to normal. She smiled sweetly at the server and told him that she would like cooked rabbit, but if they didn't have that, then eggs would be fine.
Rune and Hebi took their seats at an empty table, Hebi taking her spot on Rune's side opposite his bitten side. Hebi started eating immediately, delicately poking her fork into her eggs and raising small mouthfuls to her mouth; Rune didn't touch his food yet, his fingers wiping at the thin line of blood that was rising from his bitten skin. It itched like a bug bite and at the same time felt tender and sore, and Rune couldn't keep off of it. Finally taking a bite of toast, Rune looked sideways at Hebi and said "Why'd you drag me away? I had questions I wanted to ask her." Hebi shook her head from side to side, looking sideways at him too, and replied "Yes, you were probably going to ask her to bite you again on the other side of your neck." "I-I wouldn't do that! I was thinking I'd probably ask her why first," he said, turning to glare at his deity as some heat rose up his neck at her accusation.
Hebi neatly put her fork down and turned to smile sweetly at Rune, but the smile didn't reach her eyes, which were blazing with anger. With her voice falsely cheery, she said "What, is that your new thing, Rune? You like to be bitten? Why didn't you just say so, I could do that..." Before the prince had any time to react, Hebi extended her arms out and clasped her hands around the back of his head. She pulled him forward, pressing their torsos together, and laid her head on his shoulder, mouth pressing to his neck. Again using her serpent traits to her advantage, she let her canine teeth grow into snake fangs, and then bit down on his neck. She was careful not to pierce anywhere with her fangs that would actually hurt him, just cause him pain.
She pulled off of him, pushing him back slightly so that they were both back to their original positions. She grinned at him, teeth back to normal, as her eyes lit up with dark amusement as he winced in pain and pressed his hands to his neck where she bit. Her fangs had left significantly larger bite marks than the princess's, and they were bleeding more too. Rune tried in vain to press napkins to his neck to stop the gentle but steady flow of blood from his neck as he as Hebi turned back to her food. "Hebi, why'd you do that? It really hurts..." "Hmm, what was that Rune? I can't hear you over my laughter." "Bitch..."
