— Ah Quan, or, Redtooth, repeatedly claimed that he loathed you for rejecting his feelings way back then— though, if that were true, why was he sparing your life? That look of fear in your eyes wounded him, and it showed in his gaze as he stared down at you, unmoving, unblinking. Although his face didn't show any remorse, his gaze did— you knew the man well enough to know when he felt bad for something, even if he find;t make it obvious.

— That fear was caused by him— because he let himself become this new creature. With a scowl, the green-haired man turned his head away from you so stubbornly, too consumed by his feelings for you to do much of anything. It hurt knowing that he managed to cause you this much fear— fear of him, at least. He didn't give a damn if you were afraid of anything. Yet, when it came to fearing him, he felt the want, the urge to satisfy you.

— Of course, he wasn't going to show that— he was too stubborn to do so now. Perhaps if it were before his supposed resentment towards you, he would've done so without hesitation or a second thought. Besides, even if he weren't stubborn, his pride would back him up— then again, he'd find any reason not to indulge you the way he actually wanted to.

— Turning his back to you, Redtooth huffed, closing his eyes and rubbing the blood off his pants, grumbling incoherently to himself as he began to walk away. "This is humiliating.." The male muttered, soon running a hand through his hair, a thing he did to express his uncomfortableness.
