Despite her more predatory self coming out more and more often whenever she took on this red form, Leone still remained Leone as she stood in front of me, her mana washing over me and removing all of the blood and gore from my body as she fussed like she always had.
Of course, there was a difference between the way she cleaned me off now and how she was before; the way her hands brushed against my curves, lingering for a second too long as she remained just a few inches away from me... she wasn't embarrassed by what she was doing.

Hungry for my body and hungry for my blood, which was probably where some of her frustration with my fighting style was coming from, since there was no easy way for her to get to my neck or my wrist without having to taste some monster blood as well...
