Chapter 134: Rolling Thunder.
Thundertail's heart was bouncing harder and harder in her chest with every single step she took closer towards her room and her destiny.
Long had she awaited this very moment when she would finally have a pretty human over her very own to lavish her love and feelings upon and who would lavish their own on her in return.
As it turned out that pretty human was a handsome human boy called Andrew who she'd rescued from being buried alive under a tower that Seven had accidentally collapsed on top of him when teaching the vile raiders a lesson.
Now she had nursed him back to health and had made her claim to him, a claim which to her absolute joy he had accepted and promised to take care of her as she had done for him.
So that's where she was now, carrying her new human mate back to her nest to love him in the way that nature had intended for them and she was going to show him in no uncertain terms why he had made the very best choice in accepting her heart this day, she was going to show him that humans and Gatorclaws belonged together not apart.
Thundertail was however somewhat surprised to find that as she reached for the handle of her room door her hand was actually trembling, though whether it was down to nerves or excitement or a mixture of the two was up for debate at this very moment.
But upon taking a deep breath she summoned all the strength her scaley heart had within it and she gripped the handle tightly turning it while being extra careful not to accidentally tear the door off its hinges in her excitement, she'd done that once already and Seven had scolded her when he'd had to rebuild it and part of the wall.
As she ducked her head to step through the threshold she heard his wise words ringing in her brain as clearly as if Lucky Alpha Claw Visa's male was standing right there beside her speaking in her ear canal right at that very moment.
"Thundertail you need to learn to measure your strength, you need to remember just how strong you are," he'd said to her.
"Sorry Seven, me's was excited to go on hunt and to prove me's is good Claw like lucky Alpha Claw Visa," she'd replied while hanging her head in shame.
He sighed heavily and placed a wonderful hand on her big thigh patting it gently as he did.
"I know you were Thundertail but you have to learn to reign in that excitement and to control it so you can release it at the right moment or stuff like this is going to happen, now just imagine you found yourself a human to love and whom loves you and you hurt them by accident because of your vast difference in strength and size, they are not going to be as easy to fix or as forgiving as a door," he'd said.
Those words had really hit home with Thundertail and they'd scared her so badly that her scales had shaken at the mere thought of accidentally hurting her pretty human, or just as badly making them hate her because she'd accidentally hurt them.
So bad had been the shock and truth slap that Seven had delivered that Thundertail had to go and seek out Lucky Claw Vess to ask her advice on how to be gentle with a human when she was so much bigger and stronger than they.
Thankfully Lucky Claw Vess had been understanding of her concerns and fears and had taken her under wing to show her the ways of the gentle Claw.
Vess had asked her a simple question, "Would you treat a hatchling roughly or would you play with them using your full strength?" she'd said.
"No of course not! Hatchlings are fragile and sacred things! They's must be protected by entire pack at all costs no matter who they belong to as they really belong to entire pack and will make pack stronger and better when they grows into big strong Gatorclaws!" Thundertail had said proudly causing Vess to nodd her large horned head in approval.
"Exactly! And that's how you must treat your human as well, imagine they are a hatchling, use the same level of strength you would use with them, oh and remember you are a lot heavier than they are so when you are tempted to pin them to the bed, make sure you take your weight either in your knees or ankles, you can pin them easy enough without putting hardly any weight on them," Vess had said with a bit of a wicked smile on her face.
"Why's would me wants to pin them?" Thundertail had asked in confusion and what Vess had whispered in her ear had very nearly made Thundertail's scales fly off with all the vibrating they did.
"Pretty human will let me's do that to them!?" she'd exclaimed and Vess had grinned at her.
"Oh sweetscale if you do it to them right the first time then not only will they let you do it but they'll be begging you to, but you must always remember to treat them just right because what you have there is more valuable to our kind than anything else, you have one of the rare breed of humans willing to see us for who we are not just what we are, treat them like humans treat gold or caps," Lucky Claw Vess had said and Thundertail had nodded eagerly as her mind flooded with images that made her tail swish.
Now that she found herself with those beautiful and wonderful images within her grasp she found herself nervous and excited, she did wonder to herself how she was supposed to ask her handsome human for such things as lucky Claw Vess had never explained that part to her, only that such things were not just possible but were wonderful.
once inside the room Thundertail turned herself and closed the door, making sure that the lock was engaged as she did, she was not going to be welcoming visitors or interrupters willingly or happily today, this day was for her and her handsome human!
One thing Lucky Claw Vess had told her was to be careful when she kissed her handsome human as her mouth would most likely be bigger than their entire head let alone their face or mouth, so she would have to be patient, creative and most importantly gentle when she attempted it.
She had thankfully given her a couple of possible pointers of how such a thing could be achieved with such a size difference in play and Thundertail had taken meticulous mental notes to try and draw out the diagram of such an act in her head.
So now when she slowly reached up to remove Andrew from her shoulder she was already playing that diagram in her head of how this should go and how she should approach it.
