Sighing loudly, Bunz glanced down at her nails and then buffed them on her robes, before admiring them again. Ooh. Could use a new topcoat there. Maybe she should paint her nails while she let the Devil's Snare have a bit of fun with Jake?
Speaking of Jake, as he pulled and bit on the plant, the plant pulled back. It was simultaneously hugging him closer and yet tugging on his limbs at the same time as if it wished to tear him piece to piece. When the boy BIT DOWN on the Devil's Snare though (and got a few prickly spines in his mouth), the plant had had enough. It whirled a fuzzy tendril up and slapped him square across the mouth before repeating the action. SLAP! SLAP! SLAP!
RUDE boy! SLAP! No one SLAP! bites SLAP! Devil's SLAP! Snare!
Anastasia looked up from her nails at the sound of the plant 'teaching' Jake a lesson. "HAHAHAHA," she guffawed loudly. "This is priceless. HA. How's it feel, Upstead?"
Maybe she should remove the silencing charm? Just for a bit?
.......naaaaaaah.
By reflex, Jake's teeth immediately jerked apart, allowing the plant to get free, and tasting just a few hints of blood from what he supposed were sharp parts of the plant. Ugh... he felt...
OWCH!
Stupid. Plant. Kept. Slapping. Him.
OW! OW! OW!
His face now off to one side, eyes squeezed shut as if antipating another attack, Jake peeked towards Bunbury, narrowing his eyes as he heard the question.
How do you think it feels? he thought, his face now bright from where he'd been slapped. Turns out plants slap better than girls do.
Spitting out some blood from his mouth and onto the floor ahead of him, Jake resolved not to go down without a fight, and clamped his teeth around another tendril that was nearby. It tasted terrible... but Jake was a vegetarian, so he... was kind of used to it.
That... and he used to eat the leaves off the trees in his back garden.
BITE!
Even so... he didn't think he could take much more... Jake was feeling... dizzy...
