Natural beauty would always be the death of him.
The way women worked, the sensuous and supple curves of their body - it was his favorite and most dangerous weakness. The overpowering way he knew he could feel about a girl (even if he knew he would never feel that way every again) was dangerous and terrible; Shandom could remember the way blood felt on his teeth, metallic and dangerous, when it was not the lifeblood of prey. Children tasted different than deer or other such food sources; that blood was disgusting and impure, and Shandom hated it. For a moment, his stomach rolled and the canine felt a stab of nausea; why, in this moment, would he be forced to remember such a horrible thing? The large white man almost stumbled backwards with the power of the memory, but he knew he could not allow himself to lose control and poise in front of Caprica. She had no idea of his dark past, though he'd admitted some things to her he never thought he'd admit to anyone, but the woman had no idea he was a murderer. Shandom doubted he would ever tell her.
She'd plunged her jaws into the supple flesh, and the sounds of lush tearing brought Shandom back to this reality. A wide smile spread across his lips as his mind finally processed what she'd said, and the white male chuckled. She looked kind of ridiculous, hanging over the food and waiting for him to begin. Etienne almost always allowed the females to eat first - the Alphess before the Alpha, the Betess before the Beta. It was not a mark of hierarchy, as Etienne was not a maternally based pack, but instead old fashioned and traditional chivalry. But, if Caprica insisted, she insisted, and Shandom eagerly took a large, satisfying bite from the recently slaughtered haunches. This is fantastic, he mumbled through hunks of meat. Thank you for hunting with me, Miss Caprica.
