Chapter Text
The circus was over for the night, it was the last day in the town so they had a day of free roaming while the fools packed things up and they were on the move again. In the communal text (where things like the kitchen and dining room were) they all had gathered to eat. Jester had managed to bribe Cori down from their aerial silks in order to eat with the promise that they wouldn't be tormented by Harlequin, unfortunately, that was simply too good to be true.
Doc and Piero were sat on the floor both peacefully eating while Ticket Taker and Jester sat across from Cori and Harlequin at the table, Harlequin had decided despite being told several times that he better not bother Cori or he'd regret it that he was in fact going to bother him to no end. Now Harlequin was never one to listen to their warnings sure Cori had growled at him on several occasions instinctively showing off their 4cm canines which doesn't sound big until you consider the average size of human canines is 2.4-2.6cm and the rest of Cori's teeth were slightly larger and sharper than the other's teeth.
Cori was just trying to eat peacefully when their nose wrinkled slightly with irritation, feeling the slithering of Harlequin's tentacles along their entire leg. Harle glanced their way with a look of pure faux innocence which was responded to with a warning glare from a not so happy panther monster. Of course, Harlequin didn't listen.
Jester, Ticket Taker, Doctor, and Pierrot all got a sudden jolt in their muscles when they heard a rattling jingle and a Yelp with a subsequent visual of Harlequin falling off his chair and a bleeding arm from where he'd been bitten.
Cori got a light scolding on biting with how much larger their teeth were by Ticket taker and Jester while Harlequin begrudgingly got patched up by doctor and then refused to look at or get too close to Cori for the rest of the night, and in Cori's mind despite the scolding it was definitely worth biting him, though he tasted like rusting metal...disgusting.
