Kurt was surprised when he nodded positively, silently allowing his relative to eat.
Groth gently rubbed his head against Kurt's leg, and advanced without any ceremony against the corpse of the great serpent.
The sounds of flesh being ripped from bone, blood dripping, and skin being torn made Kurt feel slightly nauseous, but he held on.
The simple fact of having his familiar close to him again, moving and acting normally, was enough to make Kurt happy.
After a few minutes, Groth seemed satisfied, and Kurt completely dumbfounded.
There was no sign that the huge snake had ever existed there.
If it hadn't been for the bones, it might well have seemed that this was an area of swampy, forest-like Nest completely untouched and unexplored.
Kurt stroked behind his familiar's ears.
"Good boy." Kurt complimented. "How are you feeling?"
