"We need to pull her off of him." Modo said as he watched Vinny and the unknown woman roll around the floor. Vinny trying to escape, and the woman... Trying to strangle his younger brother with his own tail as Throttle snarled,

"Let her kill him." Then stomped off down the hall. Presumably to calm down, leaving Modo standing there wondering if he should hazard pulling the woman off of Vinny since he was sort of starting to turn blue.

It took a moment or so for him to weigh the pro's and con's. But inevitably his love of his idiot younger brother won out and he stepped into the room and quickly wrapped an arm around the woman's slender waist while prying her hands off of Vinny's tail and then lifted her up off of Vinny's back, finally allowing the white furred mouse to scurry a few feet away.

The female was feather light in his grasp. Terribly so for an adult.

She feels like a child... He thought as she tried to free herself of his grasp by prying his arm away from her body. But he was unmovable even as he looked over at Vinny who had practically crawled under his bed and asked in their native language. "Are you okay?"

The faint glow of Vinny's pink eyes bobbing slightly before they flickered to the woman was all the answer the giant needed as Throttle walked back into the room and paused just in the doorway and barked out, "Let. Her. Go." Modo looked at his second sibling as if he were insane as Throttle walked over to him and the woman with a bundle in his hands and held them out to the woman who stilled in the giant's grasp and looked at the bundle and blinked a few times as she panted.

"W-What-" She started to say as Throttle used his tail to smack Modo's flesh arm, not hard enough to injure or incur his wrath, merely hard enough to cause his older brother to drop the woman and allow him to quickly snatch her, and pull her back against him as he pressed her dry clothing into her hands.

"Here. These are yours. There's a bathroom down the hall on the right, go put your clothes on then we'll talk." Throttle said in a soft tone as he ruffled her dark hair affectionately before placing a hand at the small of her back and giving her a small push towards the door.

She looked back at him, her expression questioning as she vanished out the door and from his sight. Throttle was silent a heartbeat or two as Vinny climbed out from under Modo's bed as Throttle turned on him and hissed, "What the fuck is wrong with you?"

"Me!" Vinny almost shouted before changing the volume of his voice and hissing back, "What about her? All I did was-"

"Was what Vincent?" Throttle asked in a deadly soft tone of voice as he crossed what little space there was between them and snarl, "Touch her? Sniff her? Say something crude?"

"What? No!" Vinny answered, his ears drooping slightly before he said, "I heard whimpering and thought you were still in bed asleep. Maybe having a nightmare. So I tried to wake you up. I didn't expect you to have a woman in your bed..."

Throttle was quiet for a moment as he processed the information Vinny had just given him and sighed. Damn. He hadn't meant to hurt Vinny's feelings but with the woman here, under his protection, he felt as tightly wound as a spring. There was just something about her that made him want to rip the throats out of the other males in the vicinity.

He didn't understand this sudden possessiveness.

The feeling was completely irrational and unwarranted. Yet that was how he felt.
