Virsat was silent. He couldn't answer that question, he couldn't think up a lie or a way to cover. It was true, his master devoured humans, but for that creature humans were cattle. It was no different than a human eating a cow or a chicken. Was it? He shifted a bit in his seat, refusing to look at Chrissie, a hand reaching up to tug gently at the collar around his neck. Without his master, how would he even survive?
A small whimper left his throat and he closed his eyes tightly for a moment, letting that hand dropped. When his eyes opened they were still full of fear and uncertainty, but he did look at Chrissie now. Virsat felt trapped, more trapped than he had ever felt in his entire life. His master would show himself, not unless things got dire. The creature left this to Virsat to handle, mostly for an excuse to punish him later for handling things badly.
"...H-he isn't bad.." Virsat spoke the words quietly and as if he truly believed them. True he ate humans, but if it weren't for that creature then Virsat wouldn't be alive. The thing had saved him, protected him, cared for him. Sure the monster would put him through pain at times, punish him but that just meant Virsat had to try harder to be good. "H-he isn't bad!" The words were spoken with conviction that time, as if trying to convince her.
