Slight powerplay with Faol, hope you don’t mind. Surprise hit the massive male when the subject of mating was brought up, but as soon as the thought registered he joined Faolin in giggling like a prepubescent child. Humans were incredibly strange creatures, without a doubt. He had half a mind to open the book up to that section and see what they said… but he didn’t want to risk coming across any dirty pictures, and ruin their innocent fun with an the awkward moment that would cause. Of course, he was a male, and it would be a lie to say he had never thought about sex while in Faolin’s company… but he had never really associated sex with her, and they both consciously tried to avoid such memories while inside each others’ heads in an unspoken agreement. Phoenix leaned in to take a better look at the book and see if he could spot any words that he recognized, but before he had a chance to do so something leapt open them. Caught off-guard, genuine fear ripped across Phoenix’s eyes as he looked up and saw Gabriel reaching for him. Time seemed to slow as the other’s roar triggered a surge of adrenaline. His first thought was that he’d betrayed and set up, but a stolen glance at Faolin quickly wiped away such thoughts. She seemed just as surprised as he, perhaps even more so. Of course, she probably thought of Gabriel as a good soul. However, Phoenix had no such delusions about the citizens of Inferni (excluding Faolin, of course). Automatically Phoenix tried to avoid his attacker, but up until now he was acting on pure reflex. Now his mind finally switched to fight mode and took over. “Murdering lowlife!” he snarled hatefully, rolling off the couch. If he stayed there Gabriel could pin him down too easily, and Faolin could get hurt by their scuffle. Phoenix didn’t want to kill Gabriel, to sink down to his level, but he wasn’t going to let himself die, to deprive his children of a father, just to keep from harming the leader of Inferni. Grabbing the arm that had just a second ago been reaching for him, Phoenix took a deep hard bite into the flesh.
