Cats Can Dance... or Something

(( Posting this for Neko))

Amiee growled at Aria for using her at bait and food if their new friend here was to eat her. Folding her arms she watched the wolf turn human, her cheeks reddening at the sight of a naked man. Turning her back to him she watched as Aria made her way to the roof and hand the man the shirt off her back.

“Great not only did you throw me to a possible hostile wild wolf, he turned out to be like us.” Huffing as she blew a stray hair out of her face. Waiting until the ruffling of clothes was done to turn back to look at the now partly dressed male. She would have offered her cloak to him but she wasn’t in a caring mood after what just happened. For all she cared he could freeze to death.

“Normally a wolf in a place like this would have been shot.” Her eyes narrowing at man who had been hovering over her just a few moments again. Seeing that the man had turned his attention to Aria she made her way to the spot that Aria had stomped out a fire. Mostly her fault creating it in the first place but still it wasn’t like she had plans to burn down the whole slums.

Dusting the snow off the roof she sat down, throwing her legs over the edge. She would let Aria deal with the stranger as long as he didn’t ask her any questions she wasn’t going to answer any. Plus with removing herself from the direct conversation while listening to it just in case it turn violent then she could just jump down and run the way home.

Looking down she noticed that her feline friends had gone back to their homes. “She was using to me see if you were going to eat me, guess since I am alive you’re somewhat safe.” She called over her shoulder, as her fingers started make spiral patterns in the snow.

Aria blinked at Amiee; did the girl just growl at her….she more expected a hiss then a growl. While she could understand being peeved at the fact she was just used as a test subject, it didn’t make sense she was huffy that the wolf DIDN’T turn out to be hostile. Shouldn’t that be something to be happy about….dear lord teenage angst was so confusing.

”Isn’t that a good thing? I mean….would you rather him be a rabid wolf?”

Apparently Aria was the only one to give the man any sort of clothing…. Though frankly she had been given clothing enough times in her lifetime to know how awkward it was to have conversations while just sporting your birthday suit. Plus with how squeamish Amiee seemed to be about the naked male figure, you’d think the more clothes the better….but Nooopeee. Wasn’t like he was the one to toss her to the wolf…however teenage sulkers weren’t always logical. The most logical thing the girl did was casually move to a closer escape route….SO SHE WAS LEARNING! Aria was so proud.

”Ehhh people hardly ever look up in my experience; he would have been fine for the most part”

Aria shrugged as the male thanked her for the shirt but not for the chick. Understandable; considering the situation. She watched as he began the long process of pulling his hair out from the shirt…..she wondered if he ever got hair wedgies…partly why Aria didn’t let her hair go past her butt….she would imagine it not only would be unsanitary but uncomfortable. Apparently she tossed Amiee on him harder then she thought considering he just asked a question she had already answered….

”Soooo you would eeeaat her”

Amiee then summed up the rest, Aria pointed to her as a way of saying what she said all while nodding her head in agreement. Aria was a hard person to intimidate, though the angry wolf was certainly trying to give it a good shot. Aria’s body language however remained relaxed; though not in a way that wouldn’t allow her to react quickly if need be.

”It was the old bait and run; but anyways hello...Amiee should we move our little conversation back at the Inn. I’m in the mood for some of your fathers hot chocolate; your welcome to come along Mr……erm…well whom ever you are. My treat considering I chucked the kitty at ya. Plus I need breakfast….and to get the smell of death off me.”

That and the guy really needed pants if he was to run around the city …..though she was curious to what brought another phioric around… that and why he was eavesdropping.

[Naervon]

A tick started in his jaw and Lund ranted at him, finally loosing his temper towards the spirit he growled aloud and smoke rose from his nostrils. Taking the hint Lund went silent and retreated to the edge of his mind, "No I wouldn't have eaten her, she's to childish anyway." He said, the mention of food had his stomach growling, he hadn't grabbed anything edible when coming here and noticing that the woman offered him food made him catch himself from eagerly agreeing. Raising a brow he tilted his head to the side, "How do I know you're not going to skin me if I went with you for food? ......Naervon, my name is Naervon." He grumbled out the last part and stared at the woman, though the one thing he was shocked about was going into a building half naked. Grimacing at that fact he blinked at the woman, "Again thank you for the shirt but since I have no urge to walk in some place half naked, I'll just shift back. By all means if you still want to lead the way." He said and making sure the girl wasn't watching he took the shirt off and keeping it his hand shifted back, standing on his hind legs for awhile he dropped down and picked up the shirt in his mouth. The weak sunlight peaked through the clouds and catching the rubies on his collar they glowed a bit and he watched the woman with a curious look.

“I would have preferred you didn’t throw me.” Amiee rolled her eyes at the man went he mention that he wouldn’t have eaten her, good to know that because she was childish she wouldn’t make a taste meal for some hungry person.

Staring at Aria wanting to strangle the daylights out of her, sure she needed to get back home to help start the day, wipe the tables sweep the floors and all that other stuff. Now she wanted to three of them to return to her home for a meal, really how was she to explain why she was out of her room before dawn and how she came to run into Aria and Naervon as the man called himself.

“We can go back to the inn.” Her unhappiness clear in her voice about the current situation. Pushing off the roof hearing the name say that he was going to shift back into his wolf state, bending her knees slightly soften her fall. Dusting off her hands she looked up at the roof waiting for them to join her on the ground again before heading towards the Inn.

“Now by chance how am I to explain to father the reason for a half-naked man sitting at the table this early in the morning?” Asking Aria as she looked to the sky noticing that it was now painted with light purple. “As much as he would enjoy feeding another hungry phioric I don’t think he would take kindly to one that is underdressed.” Her eyes landing on the wolf who she wouldn’t be more than happy to see him skinned into a nice coat, but it was only a passing thought.

Her mind now on when she got home, having to run to her room and take off her cloak and change into clothes for befitting for her morning chores. Then clean down the tables and maybe serving the two newest pains in her butt and send them off an hour after sunrise. With a plan in mind she walked a bit more confident and prayed that nothing cause a hiccup in her plans.

The attitude just kept on coming; jeez teens were moody. What crawled into her kitty litter and died?

”That would have defeated the purpose of a distraction.”

The look of pure and utter contempt that Amiee was giving her was an amusing one. However her attention turned back to their other companion. The man seem to get mad just standing there…..Aria noted the smoke coming from his nostrils. However at least he had no intention of eating Amiee…though she did note he didn’t say he hadn’t any intention of eating anyone else. She waited patiently for an answer as to whether or not the stranger would join them; the answer she got made her raise an eyebrow….but at least he gave her a name. Elsewise he’d be referred to as Fluffy Butt from that point forward.

”I did say I wanted to get the scent of death off me; why would I want and go put it back on again? Seems awfully counterproductive don’t you think? Plus Naervon, we’re in the city far too many witnesses. Anyways my name is Aria, a pleasure to meet you.”

When he was done transforming, Aria gently took her shirt back. Tucking it to hang off her belt…she wasn’t going to put something on with a strange phioric males scent on it, sent the wrong message. Aria jumped down off the roof fallowing Amy. Their new acquaintance welcomed to fallow them.

”Just say Naervon is with me, plus your father has crates of clothes for the fated that stay there. Funded by a generous source of course. But he can have something that will fit him better there. That and smell better…..I hate how the smell of decay sticks to things.”

Aria’s visits to Calix were often at odd hours; her brining in someone else wouldn’t be that odd. That and she had at least distracted Amy enough to now get her away from the cats. Luckily it wasn’t too long until they reached the quiet inn.
