I started to respond, but Bambi slithered up and placed its horse-sized head on my shoulder. Every muscle in my body locked up and I squeezed my eyes shut. There was a puff of air, stirring the hair along my temple. Bambi's forked tongue shot out, tickling the side of my neck. Hey, look, Bambi likes you. I pried one eye open. And if she didn't? Oh, you'd know, 'cause she would've eaten you by now.Armentrout, Jennifer L. {2014-03-01}. White Hot Kiss {The Dark Elements Book 1} {p. 255}. Harlequin. Kindle Edition.

In this scene from "White Hot Kiss," the narrator experiences a tense moment when Bambi, a large creature with a horse-sized head, approaches closely. The physical presence of Bambi elicits a visceral reaction, causing the narrator to feel frozen with fear, showcasing the creature's intimidating nature. The tickling sensation caused by Bambi's forked tongue emphasizes the startling contrast between fascination and danger, as the narrator struggles to cope with the overwhelming situation.

As the interaction unfolds, there's a playful exchange that hints at Bambi’s affection, but also highlights the underlying threat. The friend reassures the narrator by explaining that if Bambi were hostile, they would already be in serious danger. This juxtaposition of fear and uncertainty with a hint of humor adds depth to the moment, illustrating the complexities of relationships with supernatural beings in the context of the story.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
