Apparently Krystal's entreaty to calm down and trust her hadn't worked. Fox was still trying to get his muzzle out of her cheek with all his might as he began letting out muffled yells that he just couldn't project because her teeth kept his jaw closed. It made sense, of course. She doubted anyone really WANTED to be eaten alive, and mouths are pretty disgusting things to look at, let alone be in. She decided to have some sympathy for the struggling friend. "Look, I can project nice images into your mind while I do this, if you want me to. It'll take away the shock a bit," she thought to him.
Hearing this, he calmed down a little bit, but only because he realized she wasn't entirely evil and meant to make this as comfortable as possible for him, considering what she was doing. He thought, knowing that she would be able to read it, "No, that's okay. If I have to go, I'd rather you do it and leave my mind out of it. I still like you and would rather you don't do this, but you seem to have some reason other than sheer madness. I just wish I knew what that reason was."
She opened wider and began stuffing the rest of his head into her cheek, licking the outside of his cheek consolingly, as if she were licking his wounds. "I have to. My power requires I eat someone around my body size every once in a while, or I'll die of energy loss. I've been eating a fallen foe here and there when we were on our adventures, but this peaceful universe doesn't allow that anymore, and I've been holding out so long that if I wait an hour longer I'll die. I figured you'd be the most understanding person on this crew," she told him and opened a little wider, stuffing his neck and shoulders in her cheek in the process, causing a comical, cartoonish bulge. What she said was pretty much true, but she was sure she could have avoided it if she really wanted to. Thing is...she didn't want to. Fox tasted just as good as she thought he would. She lifted him off the ground and shoved him into her cheek just beneath his shoulder blades, effectively pinning his arms between the strong muscles in her mouth. Anyone looking at this would laugh first before being horrified at what was going on. She pulled some more in, engulfing him up to the end of his ribcage, cheek sticking farther out and then with the obvious outline of Fox McCloud's head. He struggled a little more, but not much.
