A Greedy One's Pleasure [Zephyr/Thara]

His eyes flickered widely as he detected another presence enter the vicinity, intrigue lighting his gaze as such a presence was of a variety of creature he hadn't ever sensed before... At least, he thought it was something he hadn't sensed before. He remained in an at rest position until the Hollow was struck by a stray snowball, the beast's attention redirected from listlessly searching for souls, to an aggressor towards the being who slung the ball of snow, that ghastly roar filling the woods as it's hulking footsteps would advance towards the source.

"Oh dear oh dear~" The young man would softly speak in a singsong tone as he knew those movements were for a more direct track of movement, hopping out of the bushes with his rad new stick, and making steady footsteps after the beast. As the creature's yellow eyes would gleam from the brush, a low growl confronting the woman, Zephyr wouldn't be too far behind, feet having taken up pace in the wonderment of winter.

As the beast's head thrust down to deliver an attack to the demoness, Zephyr suddenly would appear, sliding beneath the space between the Hollow's legs, and counteracting it's bite with his stick, holding it back with the piece of wood firmly pressed against the beast's jaws. The man released an adrenaline filled laugh, as his eyes widened with excitement, looking back at the woman and her strange little pets,

"Damned be the gods, this is a cool stick!"

He clearly had a little issue holding the creature back, snapping it's jaws as Zephyr looked back to it, eyes glimmering with joy,

"My my! Even Hollows of this age have rank breath! Subarashii!"

He would laugh almost madly as he yanked the stick out of the creature's mouth, kneeing it's jaw shut, and smacking it square in the face with the dead branch,

"Ahh, i'd love to meddle with you further, but you appear to be causing this little daffodil panic! So, unfortunately, off you pop good beast!"

Slamming his foot on the ground, suddenly the earth would shift unnaturally beneath the Hollow's feet, almost like a spring was beneath it, vaulting the creature high into the air, far out of sight, as the only evidence of such a bizarre occurrence happening would be a piece of earth sticking out of the ground in an almost perfect square, as if it were carefully crafted into such a shape.

"Ahahaha~! The old catapult trick never gets old..."

He shook his head, a pep in his step as he would then pivot his body to turn to Thara, the man looking as if he just had an absolute ball, rather than disposing of a rather peckish creature.

"Well let's have a quick look at you now.."

He would lean in, giving her a close look, his odd colored eyes full of intrigue,

"May I ask, what are you, little lady?"
