[indent][indent][indent][indent][h3][sup][sub][color=808080]A vein chiseled out Jaxon’s temple, and it grew larger with every word from Iggi’s mouth. There wasn’t much room for more words with the brute’s massive hand throttling him, however, causing the snake-man’s glottis to work overtime, gasping for breath. Without another word, he forced his free hand deep into the snake-man’s gullet - first the hand, then the wrist, the forearm, until he stopped just below the elbow. Jaxon’s backups cringed as they saw the bumps and distensions forming beneath Iggi’s neck, driven by their leader’s manic motions.

After a good two minutes of rooting, Jaxon yanked out his entire arm, covered in a thick layer of saliva.[/color] “It’s not here!”[color=808080] He exclaimed with a twitching, disbelieving eye, as if Iggi’s entire speech had gone in one ear and out the other. He pulled the snake-man closer, his right hand clenching even tighter. [/color]“Listen here you little shit,” [color=808080]he started, his voice lowering into an uncharacteristic yet still growing whisper. Up close, Iggi could see how enormous his one good pupil was. [/color]“I don’t care what you have to do. Get me that bloodroot powder tomorrow, or I’m breaking all the fingers in your right hand. One. by. One.”

“Uh, Boss?” [color=808080]Jaxon’s male thug interrupted. To their side, three other shapes had come into view, too large and misshapen to be humans. Bane strutted in the middle, his chest puffed, a claw unsheathed to pick at his teeth. The female thug stepped up, meeting the lion at near eye-level.[/color] “Back off, fur-licker. This ain’t none of your business!” [color=808080]Bane scoffed, barely looked at her, then pushed her aside with as much effort as an empty cup.[/color]

“Business is the only thing I’m here for,” [color=808080]the lion declared, the undertone of a purr trailing after his words.[/color] “Ignatius is mine, and nobody lays a claw on him as long as he pays The Bane his weight in silver!” [color=808080]Bane directed his eyes at Iggi. A second of hesitation passed, the lion flashed a smile - though it was more of a sneer, with no joy reaching his eyes, and a mouth full of bared, pointed teeth.[/color] “You.. do have my money, yes?”
