Ed shook off the water off his fur, the anger within him seethed and rose. Blood rushed through his veins, delivering adrenaline throughout his body. His vision blurred significantly as he snarled at the water's surface. Majority of his killing intent aimed at...fish. The young dire rat could still control his body as well as his thought processes and ability to reason were still clear; unhindered by the rage and blood lust...but he could already feel the madness gnawing at it.[color=chocolate]'Stop, this is stupid! I'm literally angry at goddamn fish!'[/color] [quote=System: Ed] Skill Deactivated: Rabid Fit I [/quote] And just like that, his everlasting and burning hate for the fish disappeared just as quickly as it appeared. [color=chocolate]'Christ...that skill is dangerous. It activates even if I don't even realize it."[/color] He lets out a sigh. If he could get a rough estimate on how long he could keep control and stay sane while the skill was active, it would be roughly a minute; maybe even a little less. If he wanted to keep himself and the rest of his allies safe, he needed to master the skill as soon as he could. He then sees Asteria snag a fish and proceed to consume the fish. [color=chocolate]"Morning to you too, Asteria. Also, in my defense that fish seemed a thousand times bigger than it actually was...hmm, you're bigger than I remember."[/color] Ed told Asteria absentmindedly before realizing that the statement sounded rude. Most especially rude considering that Asteria was a lady, albeit a reincarnated lady turned into dire rat via magical means that he barely understands, but a lady none the less. His parents taught him better, shame on him. [color=chocolate]"Not that being big is a demerit. Quite the contrary even! Some would even admit its something to be attracted about a person."[/color] Yet again another statement that could lead to another misunderstanding. [color=chocolate]"Not that I find that feature about you attractive.[/color] And another. [color=chocolate]"Not that you aren't attractive, quite the contrary actually..."[/color] Ed seems to have a knack for implying things as well as making things weird. [color=chocolate]"I think that I'm rambling now and I'd be better if I shut up. I'm going to walk to the far side of the pond now."[/color] Ed then goes to the farthest side of the pod from where Danny and Asteria were and proceeds to dunk his head into the cold waters, screaming his heart out. Embarrassed to the point that death wouldn't be such a bad thing to happen now. After a few short moments of self pity and yearning for the embrace of death, the young dire rat finally regains most of his senses but retains the great embarrassment he holds within himself. [color=chocolate]"Ok. That's enough acting like a baby."[/color] He winces as he remembers the embarrassing encounter only moments ago.[color=chocolate]" OhmygodIwannadie."[/color] He lets the thought perish before standing up and dipping his muzzle into the water and finally takes in the cool re-hydrating liquid his body oh so desired. After having his fill of water, he considered returning to where Rattleskull's body laid. The body seemed to be such an easy meal for Ed but he hesitated; Rattleskull was simply too humanoid for Ed to even consider eating. No matter what physical form he had, the heart of a man still beat inside of him and it refused to eat something so closely resembling the human form. [color=chocolate]"I suppose hunting would be a great alternative."[/color] Ed lets out a sigh and limbers up for the hunt. Satisfied with his pre-hunt exercise, he goes to a low position and lets [b][Muffle I][/b] do its job in making his time sneaking more easy while he used his [b][Beast Sense I][/b] to sniff out and listen for creatures he could take down.
