Well. If the little pup withe big ears was Oliver, he must have gone to see Safrin. At least she hadn't smote him for his temerity. Further questions would have to wait, however, as the Magna Vermis demanded their undivided attention, and even Jigano - powerful though his new form was - remembered all too keenly last year's battles with the great worms, and how much damage they could do in their angry writhing.
Ah, but he had his prey firmly pinned and truly captured, at least for the moment. The worm squished between Jigano's jaws, the sensation far more satisfying in his dragon form than in his fox form - or perhaps the dragon's instincts simply overwhelming his kitsune ones. It tasted like fresh, raw chicken, an appealing flavor to the shapeshifter as he tried to saw his way through the soft, squelching body of the big worm using sharp teeth and pulling with his talons in an effort to try and rip apart when he couldn't sever more neatly. This foe was too big to play around with too much. Bite and tear, attack and kill, and worry about harvesting the meat later. There would be plenty for the festival, even after some of the chunks with dragon-spit were cut away.
Jigano continues trying to bite Big Worm 2 in half - or pull it apart, if his talons can get purchase enough to rip while he saws at it with his teeth.
