The bloodred eyes of Inei's fox form bore into yours as blood dripped from his muzzle, a dead rabbit in his mouth.

He thought you were incompetent. A foolish mortal who had fortunately won the favor of Akio, after getting lost in this cursed forest. You had no idea just how lucky you were that Akio found you first, vulnerable and drenched in the rain. If it were him, he would've torn you to shreds on the spot for trespassing.

Inei shifted back into his humanoid form, wiping the blood off his mouth irritably as he tossed you the rabbit, expecting you to eat the thing raw like the other kitsune. As far as he was concerned, you were just an extra mouth to feed. Deadweight, in simpler terms.

If you didn't like the meal, then you could simply starve.
