[Look, some people just have a few extra limbs. Let’s not judge them for it.
Near has no eyelids, but his eyes have widened visibly nonetheless as he keeps them boned on the rabbit. He’s no hunter, at least not in the physical sense of seeking out one’s prey and closing in for the kill. He’d been a detective - he provided proof of guilt. Someone else typically did the capturing. This place, though. This horrible place has brought out urges in him his weak little body can’t even follow through on. It’s very troubling.
And it doesn’t help that there are people turning into partial prey animals all around him. Then there’s this girl, who was apparently one to begin with. Near can feel his fangs wanting to spring free, but he won’t allow that. Using them requires opening his mouth embarrassingly wide anyway, something he refuses to do even though he’s capable of it.]
Do you at least have some idea of why you’re here?
[It’s foolish to talk to her. It would be easier on both of them if he let her go, but the predator within him doesn’t want her out of his sight. He has to work on that.]
