Cats and Cubs Ch 2 Recruiting

She gave a silent apologetic look to Lance after hearing 'anymore'. She didn't know the story but for a pack to be so small and no females at all, it was probably doomed to die off in a matter of time... she needed to stop reading those nature documents, her mind was starting to sound like a nature host.

Listening to Corbins warning she nodded. "That's OK, I'll avoid that as much as possible. You need to be bound to a eclectic bookworm about as much as I need a wolf who takes up the whole bed. That's what mind puzzles are for!" She had a slight cheer in her voice, living alone, mind puzzles were one way she kept herself entertained. So it should come as no surprise there was a logic book tucked in the things she brought... you could take a city girl out of the city but you can't easily take the city out of the girl. The view of the forest was definitely different then the city though and it was kind of nice not bumping into the ruder people or nearly being run over by bikes on the sidewalks "Smaller things?" She questioned just as his question about the city popped up. Listening to Talus' answer, she couldn't really disagree with it...

The thought briefly running through her mind it better to be walking with a pack then walking alone with the possible other dangers out here... unless the sacred ground was for city dweller sacrifices. She pushed the thought down, trying to drown it out.

Ches kept to the back, keeping a eye on the city dweller. "You're aware those shoes aren't going to feel as nice as they look later on... right?" The young wolf questioned, watching her walk slightly. The style more for look then comfort with her outfit being quite obvious.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Need I remind you, you belong to me?" He quirked a brow at her, almost growling the last part. He picked up the bag, cat and all, just before it could fall.

That alluring coo of his husky, smoky voice returned just as quickly. "I now decide whether you fall or if you stand. When you sleep, eat or even take a piss. Besides, why buy new when you can have one that's already trained? Training time is such a bother and bore." He held her up at eye level, looking her over and letting her look at his eyes. His hands seeming to have hidden dangerous strength in them despite appearing to be a businessman. Much like the stuffed bear in the corner once had.

"And if you run, you'll never make it out alive. The doors all require my prints and coding. You'd have fallen before you can break them open or crack the coding. The windows all barred. Nothing get's in. Nothing get's out." The threat being very real if she looked to the doorway where the door panel was.

The guards weren't just in the room with them where the ninja's stood. Heavier figures stood outside, the sound of mechanical parts as they remotely shifted.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Corbin huffed a little, "Well yes, and I believe the Birds, but I've never met and spoke to a City dweller before...The birds have only observed from afar, they don't know what it really means to live in the concrete mazes!" he said, his terminology funny and not meaning any harm, just quite curious. He then realized something that he wanted to know, "Miss Anna, what is a Librarian anyway?" He said not really knowing what a library was, Corbin had never left the forest, he was pretty young as well.

Dan looked at the young Pup, "It's a place where knowledge is kept...the King has the largest Library in the land you know...only the most privilege, or those on a Pilgrimage are allowed in..though the Pilgrims are never seen again. The legend goes that they spend their time reading every book in the library, climbing the tall tower, learning everything that has been recorded, never dieing even though it takes them years to climb the tower, but once they read the last book, it's said that their souls, now at the point of harmony, and the pinocle of knowledge, forges a book of their own, sharing their own personal experiences and knowledge to the collection, Living forever in the tower...They are the guardians..." He said, speaking mystically, his voice enchanting, the kind that you would want reading to you, tales from all over.

Talus nodded, "It is hardly legend, if you visit the astral plain when near the King's domain you can feel the souls, It is truly enlightening.." He said, the other wolves in the pack younger than him and Lance, Talus being part of Lance's pack from the very start, since their childhood. "I will take you there one day, but for now you are too inexperienced to handle the sheer amount of spiritual energy that is there.." He had no problem talking about these things out loud, knowing that most humans didn't have Psychic powers, so wouldn't be able to go to the Astral plain for any ill reasons anyway, plus he didn't seem so nervous about Levena joining them. Mainly because Lance was being so calm about the issue.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Karin let out a little squeak when she was picked up, wriggling a little in the bag trying to make him let go. Her ears flattened when he bought her to his eye level. She couldn't help but feel intimidated by the man, her ears pinning back slightly as she hung there in his grip when he talked to her. "You seriously think that I'm just gonna roll over and submit to you? If you wanna fuckin' go I will bring it, this is a can you do not want to open, because this to me, is a deceleration of war. Want me so much, I will make it the worst decision you've ever made shit head! You don't scare me.." She said spitting in his face, the girl was rude abrasive and unpleasant, if she had her hands she'd be scratching his face up with no remorse.

She could feel his strength, but she didn't back down from a fight, despite often being at a disadvantage due to her stature, doubly so since she was now the size of a kitten. She was a very proud creature, and normally didn't let anyone else think that they were top dog. She knew she could probably slip out, but she was going to need to scope out the building, clearly it wasn't going to be a straight forward job, and this guy seemed to be very connected, so she was going to have to be tricky about it, find a weak spot, there was always a weak spot. And once she found that she'd exploit it for all of it's worth, and use it to gain her freedom.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Levana felt the urge to add to Dans description after he explained, despite his wonderful explanation that almost made her wish there was a reader like him that worked in the Libran Library. After Talus of course. "Yes, that's a library. I've heard of that library oddly enough!" She looked a little overwhelmed and kind of excited. "A librarian is kind of like a guardian too. We keep the books and monitor their condition and use. We issue out to those who desire to read the adventures or gain the knowledge kept within the scores of pages. Sure we're not that mystical in the city, but it's kind of like going on a mental adventure... but much safer then actually going out to the woods"

That part did make her mentally slap herself. She practically abandoned her library, sure she did have the decency to find a substitute to cover for her while she was figuring things out, calling it a vacation, but still. "In essence, it's more like how city dwellers escape and go for walks to distress most of the time since books can take you to various different worlds."

It surprised her how easily they spoke amongst one another in her presence. Mittsy and other dogs more or less never even let her near them, always barking and carrying on. And they were almost a far cry from the scene that felt so long ago or from dreams.

Ches was taking the time to listen to the older wolves, ignoring the visitor. After all, he wasn't going to be the one to carry her when her feet started hurting in those heels. Still he couldn't help but wonder "Why would anyone read about adventures to escape and destress when they could live them?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Calmly, he wiped his face with the hand not holding the cat, looking unimpressed by her display. Killstash was quiet at first before he started speaking "I don't expect you to roll over so easily, Sprinkles." His smoky voice to it's lowest point as it gained a sinister tone. His tongue ran over his teeth as if he were tasting the words, using the name to get on her nerves as it worked so well already. "But Deamon, you will submit in the end. There's many ways to break the will, kitty cat."

Then his hand released the cat to gravity, letting her fall inside the bag still so her feline reflexes were still inhibited.

The ninja's didn't even budge as the cat displayed her feisty nature.

"I have the power here and you are the pet. You will understand this."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Corbin nodded when Ches spoke up, "Yeah, experiencing the adventures is important as well, though stories are important too, that way we can learn of what the people of the past did, like the stories that the elders teach us when we are pups, or when we go to the grand Rituals.." He said happily, tail wagging a little bit as he walked beside the girl.

Talus looked around intrigued at Anna, "You have heard of the King's Library? Interesting...I was unaware that the Humans cared at all for anything that occurs in the Forests...the City dwellers seem to have forgotten that they can be like the people in the stories too if they just go out and see the world around them..Most are born, raised in and die in the city walls..Where as we travel to all the forests, making connections with many tribes and packs...traveling and learning.."

Lance looked up at the sky, seeing dusk start to fall. "We will need to rest soon, The moon is soon to rise..and we will now have to be extra cautious with a human joining us.." he said, still not convinced that she is human, but not saying so.

-----------------------------------------

Karin yelped out landing roughly since she was in the bag and there wasn't much space for her righting reflex to work out. "Oowh!" She groaned out, now on her side, trying to get back up, a small pang of pain on her leg, a little bruise forming. "The day I admit I'm yer pet is the day that Pigs fly bucco! You can try all you want, but It ain't happening. In the end, I'm gonna win, and you're gonna end up with nothing...no less than you started with...And that. Is a promise." She said sharply, her determination untouchable, burning within her, so fiery and daring, the mouse screaming at the lion, when his jaws are primed to snap. She thought it brave, though in reality, she was just reckless.

Every time he called her 'Sprinkles' her ears twitched, the name ebbing at her slowly. With a cocky grin on her face she looked at him and said "I'm gonna make your life, a livin' hell.." She didn't seemed too bothered by the ninja's now that she had a goal in mind, a purpose, she actually forgot about them standing there, since they were being so quiet, as the ninja is. The girl could tell that he was a very influential man, and that meant he had lots of expensive toys for her to break, lots of important files to shred with her claws, and lots of important meetings to embarrass him at. She was planning on being so unbearable to him that he'd regret his decision...everyone had a breaking point, as he said..there's many ways to break the will....

To her delight  the bag being dropped and moved about so much distorted the shape a little, and with her head now sideways to the hole, she found she was able to retract it, ending the humiliation of being stuck there. Her thoughts quickly their opinion, her voice in the back of her head wishing she'd done that sooner. She squeezed, but just about managed to pull it in, the first thing she did being shaking the feeling off. As she shook the collar jingled and felt strange around her neck, she scratched at it, trying to find a way to get it off, just spinning it and the tag around 360 degrees around her neck. Her amber eyes glared out when she saw him look at her, narrowed and angry from the shadows of the bag, like a tiger that's hidden and ready to strike and pounce.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Levana looked at Talus with quirked head. "Not many people come to the library these days, the youth aren't into learning so much but we do have Atlases and Encyclopedia's as well many history related pieces amongst the fiction." She gave a slight shrug though a little put down by the fact, it took visitors to keep a library alive. "I guess they feel they don't need more then what the schools provide... I have a lot of spare time having been raised in the city walls." She tried explaining. Not wanting to sound rude by pointing out it was rather dangerous for a normal human to go out exploring to have said adventures and besides, Lance brought attention to a detail in traveling that was swiftly coming.

Ches decided to tease Anna for the heck of it. "Maybe they're just afraid of the big scary forest that'll eat them. Example A." He indicated Anna which did succeed in making her jump and swiftly apologize to Corbin. "Oooh you're going to be fuu~n." He teased.

Levana looked to Lance, giving a apologetic look for being the sore thumb. "Sorry."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Killstash watched her antics, giving a amused chuckle, looking in at her. "Well aren't you cute, Sprinkles?" He teased as he gave a snap, standing straight again.

Deathstrike stepped forward and unzipped the bag, releasing 'the tiger' from her wrappings to let the client see her in full. Then stepped back to Nightshades side with speed and agility awaiting another nonverbal command.

"Well? Come on." Killstash spoke to her, anticipating her first move now free of the bag.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dan looked over to Ches, "Lady Anna is our guest Ches...play nice.." he said calmly, "It is at least a thank that the humans and Vampires sustain their knowledge in Library, even if the mass populous does not see the need for them..knowledge is sacred, and no matter who you are if you respect knowledge, I respect you, friend or foe.." Talus gave a smile, very proud of how Dan was growing.

Lance shook his head at he apology, "It is okay, you are not a bother, We will protect you as I wish to know why there is this energy...I am not usually wrong about these things, but you don't appear to be a wolf, so perhaps this is a test from the spirits. You are important, I can tell that much, but I doubt that you have the skills to face off some of the more vicious hunters of the night..We will take turns to guard as usual, and will ensure your safety.."

Corbin plodded along happily, enjoying her company, "People are probably just scared off by the Magic of the forest, People don't tend to take so kindly to boundies..Though I've met a couple of them before, generally nice, I don't see what people are so afraid of, It seems more eye opening than anything~"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The moment that the bag was unzipped the girl jumped out and sat on the table, his taunts doing enough to want to retaliate and show her power in an attempt to intimidate him. The small cat leaped off the table and looked up with a cocky smile. "Messing with a Deamon is a bad move Human.." The cat started to grow in size, the transformation quick and well practiced as she bypassed her humanoid form and went all the way up to her final form, intimidating to those who haven’t seen a Deamon that size before, but to those in the know, very small compared to most other Deamons, her final form clocking in about the size of a Ligar. Big enough to ride like a horse, but just small compared to her species who would normally be about double her size.

Karin had never met another who knew the difference between her and other Deamons, so she always found that this form intimidated people successfully. "You play with Fire you're gonna get burnt.." She said, her voice low and grumbly as she stepped forward, only just towering over him, a low intimidating growl grumbling from her throat. The large cat baring her impressively sharp fangs at him, her tail swaying from side to side, fitting just fine in his luxury Office, though her tail being perilously close to one of his collectables. "What do yah say punk...still want me around?" She said raising her paw up drawing her claws inches away from his face, trying to freak him out. "I could just knock you out right now..I've not had a decent meal in a while anyway~" Her eyes were a orangy colour now instead of her amber colour from before.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ches murmured a “Alright” to the older wolf since he wasn’t wrong about it. His ear flicked as the night life of the forest started stirring from their day time dormancy, replacing the sounds of natures day life gradually.

Levana gave a nod of thanks to Lance. He still didn’t seem to believe her about being human but seemed polite enough to not press that, she couldn’t help but wonder if he was upset or disappointed about not finding a wolf but she was pretty adamant on the matter, no matter the weird events. “A test from the spirits?” She questioned, almost flattered by his words while staying in pace with Corbin.

Looking at the time, she’d be taking her medication soon, breakfast and dinner... though maybe she could put it off until morning seeing it’s smell seemed to really get to Corbin for some reasoning. Though that could just be part of her minds reasoning for trying to get out of a dose again. “You’ve met some of the boundies?” She asked. Not many people who became bound to a Deamon returned to the cities after their treks to the wilds. “Have you met a girl named Crystal from Libran City, by any chance?” She did kind of miss her old room mate, the apartment had been huge and rather empty without the adventurous and loud girl.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Killstash watched her display, not jumping back or cowering or even flinching, he just stood there with a smirk now looking up at her keeping his red eyes to her Orange-ish.

Deathstrike was a little more reactive, stepping forward slightly, a hand going to the hilt of his sword and drew the blade just slightly. He didn’t move further waiting to see the next movement.

Nightshade remained perfectly still, her hidden eye’s staring coldly at the scene.

“Small kitten form, small Deamon form?” He gave a chuckle. “You must still be young. It looks like Sprinkles is having a temper tantrum, wouldn’t you say Nightshade?” He asked the woman ninja, though he knew she wouldn’t answer. He removed his business coat, tie and over shirt with nonchalance, revealing a fit athletic build with not too much exaggerated musculature, tossing the articles onto the desk chair. “Go ahead.” There wasn’t a ounce of fear in his smoky voice, in fact, there was a undertone of mocking humor to it. He’d started making his fortune in gambles, and it was a wealthy mans entertainment. The more dangerous, the more fun. “Don’t mind I take those off,” He indicated to coat, tie and shirt.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Crystal? I'm not sure, was she bound to a Bird? Small girl, Blue hair?" He said thinking back to the two he's met, one being a young Woman and an Owl, the other being a Man with a young ring tailed Lemur.

The group walked onwards as they talked untill they hit a spot that the wolves knew was one of theirs. "We shall stop here for the night.." He said, there being a few rocks that were big enough to sleep under, and a few overturned logs that marked the edge of their territory with an invisible scent wall. "No one should bother us here, if they know what's good for them...Corbin, you take first watch, then I want Ches to take over, and Dan afterwords tonight." He said, setting the rota differently each time they had to guard watch.

Corbin looked over at Lance nodding, "Yes Sir, I'd be happy to." He said, the young wolf finally changing back moving over to a spot to sit down, tapping the floor for Levana to come sit with him, "Why do you know people who have been bound?" He said, very interested in her, hung on her stories, and generally excited to meet someone from outside the forest.

Talus rolled his eyes at the pup, "If you ask her anymore questions, you might scare her away Corbin, try not to bombard the child.." The old wolf stayed in his wolf form, sniffing around for any changes to the sight during their leave. Dan sat down next to Ches chuckling, "Do you think this is what they call 'puppy love' Or perhaps, 'love at first sight'?" He said with a small smile, teasing their pack brother. (Not blood related)

---------------------------------------------------------------------

At first her eyes quickly darted to look at Deathstrike, aware of his movements now, readying in case he made a move against her, but her attention turning back to Killstash when he spoke to her like she was a child. She grumbled in response, her ears lowered slightly at the comment on her size, So it seems that this guy had met other Deamons before, but that was beside the point, she was still bigger than him, so she still had the advantage in her mind. She let out a little snicker, was this guy seriously going to tussle with a beast that had teeth and claws the size of his forearm? "Your Funeral.." She laughed out, stepping back a little before throwing all her weight forward in a swipe tackle against him. The mass of fur fairly heavy when she lands her hit on the side of his head, her jaw opening trying for a bite into his shoulder now that her arm were holding him in place, playful snarls escaping her throat, more than happy to get a little revenge on the guy that dragged her into this, thinking to herself that he has no chance at all against her brute strength, no matter how well built.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Blue hair is definitely her." Anna said remembering the girl, always loud in every way possible so her unnaturally blue hair was no surprise. She was semi-relieved when they arrived to the resting spot, though part almost unsure about going in the territory for unknown reasoning to her, she placed her supplies down then gracefully took a seat a little further away from Corbin then his patted spot.

Ches acknowledged with his own “yes sir.” The red wolf transformed to a rusty red haired boy with a freckled splashed face his clothes pretty on par with the group so far,then took a spot Dan joining close by. Having the same thought run through his mind seeing Corbin sticking to Anna like a love struck pup. “Puppy love, definitely. Maybe they already got bound?” He snickered at his pack brothers expense.

Levana looked at the others, confused at first, then getting it and scooting a little further away, crossing her legs at the ankles. “Crystal was a roommate of mine, we shared a apartment as it’s cheaper to live together in the city by pooling income.” She thought about her roommate, glad to hear she seemed still alive at least. “She was always very loud and outgoing and very impulsive. She just kind of disappeared one morning, though her friends said she went into the forest on a dare. However I haven’t seen her since she disappeared.” She didn’t know Crystal got bound so she couldn’t answer for the species she would have gotten bound to.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As soon as she went to bite, the collar registered the danger and buzzed. At first sending a shock through that felt more like a static jolt from touching a metal door handle while wearing wool socks on carpet, then her body shrank down to human form but her usual clothes altered to a yellow and white mocking cat-girl cutesy yet provocatively short dress with puffy shouldered sleeves that with dress shoes and a belled bow on her tail.

Killstash was still for the hit, his head being forced to look away as the hit struck and then her weight pressing down on him, holding him in place for her bite. But he made no movement or cry of pain. His bet being on the collar, either it’s functioning and activated or it was a dud and she’d succeed in biting into him and causing damage.

The damage minimal, a slight scar on his ear from a claw just grazing the side of his face, he took a step back to rebalanced when she transformed again but this time, not by choice.

“You’re a gambler too, I see.” He stated, putting a hand briefly to his ear to check for blood and casting it off. “Now don’t you just look so cute, Sprinkles?”

There was a chuckle from somewhere, maybe one of the ninja’s released it or maybe one of the guards outside did. But it was a definite chuckle.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Corbin tilted his head when his Pack brothers started talking about him, "Hey c'mon don't be like that, I just haven’t met anyone from the City before, Not long enough to ask questions like this! I'm interested.."

"Why it's not like you're gonna live there, unless you plan on getting bound to Anna and running away from your pack" He said jokingly, "It's like a cheesy romance story" He said again turning to Ches, "So would it be Corbana, or Levin?" a big smile on his face, when he didn't have to act on his responsibilities he did have some sense of humor, messing around with him like an older brother would.

Corbin rolled his eyes at them both and their jokes, "Yeah yeah, there was a girl just like that, got bound to an owl after losing to a Riddle he posed. Turns out the Owl didn't realize that the King's magic influenced outside his own Forest Origin near West Arieas" The pup couldn't help but have his tail wagging, really looking like he was love struck.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Karin was about to chomp into his shoulder, her large jaws terrifying, that would easily be able to rip him apart suddenly turning smaller, making her eyes widen, not initiating the transformation herself. She was mid motion, but before she could bite she changed back and lost balance of the motion. Being shorter than Killstash, she just bumped her head on his shoulder instead and clung on, as the feeling of falling happened. She looked around confused, looking at him and quickly jumping back and away from him, staring at her new attire, her arms out in front of her and wide as she twisted and turned, pinching at the material to see if it was real or an illusion. She was quiet for a few seconds, her face going bright red and hands immediately clutching down on the material, clasping it over her crotch area, not used to showing this much skin like this, being a tom boy, normally wearing Trousers or cargo shorts on her days off, only wearing short shorts in the summer due to the heat, she hated dresses. "W..W..What the heck is all this???" She uttered out, looking up at him, her ears flat on her head. "How...What...When..??????" She stammered, going brighter red when he called her Cute, and referred to her as her pet name again. Her heart was racing, she felt like she was just going to keel over from embarrassment, her ears flicking slightly at the chuckle, death glaring everyone there.

"What the hell!!" She said quickly trying to change forms again to rip the clothing off, going for her first form, but the collar interfering, blocking it and making her get smaller again, changing her into a kitten, the dress staying on. "A-AH!" She looked over herself, circling around seeing the bow and dress still on her, making her look even cuter now since everything was now just miniature. "Stupid thing!!" She was too preoccupied now, trying to wriggle out of it, biting at it and scratching, or at least trying too, the dress shoes now turned into little socks blocking her little claws from doing any damage. She flailed about trying everything to get the articles off, wrestling with the clothing on the floor in front of Killstash.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Corbana has more of a ring to it." Ches spoke between snicker fits. "Interested in the city or the city dweller?” He asked even as the other seemed to change subject and ignore their heckling.

Levana, staying out of the conflict zone, brought out her puzzle book to release her mind to her own world. “She got bound to a owl?” She asked, trying get that image. “Over a riddle? ...Yeah, that would most likely be Crystal then. She could do riddles but only to a extent, if she was sober anyway.” She flipped the page of to the first blank logic problem, reading over the scenario and scratching marks in the puzzle part with ‘x’s and ‘o’s as she went along. Running away at night wasn’t a option she’d really opt to take given the more dangerous beings.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“I am the master. You are the pet.” Killstash gathered the clothes from the desk chair, redressing with ease and entertained by her actions. “Does kitty cat not like her new dress?” He mocked, “Perhaps yellow isn’t your colour? Oh! Maybe next we’ll put you in a sailor girl outfit?” watching the shoes turn to a pair of white and yellow polka dotted sockings for her kitten feet, he really did admire this particular collar design. Keeping her dressed even now.

Deathstrike re-sheathed his sword and was back to monitoring with Nightshade, watching the kittens actions.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dan chuckled, "Defiantly, Corbana it is then~" He said leaning back on his hands smiling. Talus looked to the two boys and lugged himself over, "Come on, we have to hunt, if you want something to eat tonight. Dan you're coming with me, Ches you can come if you want to, Now Change and move out." He said walking between the two boys, looking back to the girl, "Do you have any issue eating Rabbit at all..?" He said stone faced and serious.

Dan chuckled still and changed back into a wolf, waiting for Talus to go. Lance sat and looked at Levana, "We catch our food on a nightly basis, catching only what we need. We generally eat our food raw, but that is poisonous to your kind is it not?" He asked wondering, "A fire might draw attention..but we can't have you not eating, Dan you go get Firewood instead, Ches you go with Talus to get the food..Bring one extra than normal so that we have enough for everyone.." He said his arms folded

Dan nodded and changed back, "Sure thing, I'll be back shortly" He said walking off to go get some firewood together. Talus nodded waiting  for Ches to come with him to go looking for Rabbits and deer.

-------------------------------------

Karin growled at him and flipped herself back around, realizing that she wasn't going to be able to get out of the cute attire, but finding it at least more tolerable than when she was humanoid, she jumped up onto the desk and got up onto her back feet, walking like a person would, grabbing his shirt with her paw. "Look here pal! No more fun and games! You get these clothes offa me now. I told yah that I ain't gonna be followin' you or nothin' you AIN'T my Master! I ain't got no Master! So whatever weird ass idea you gots in yah head, Yah weird ass Fetish's or whatever, they ain't gonna happen!" She said, one paw on her hip, full of attitude, still grabbing onto his shirt, not intimidating in the slightest. She acted very human in her cat form now that she could move around, not acknowledging her animal side other her human form. "You can take all of this, and shove it up yer asshole yah pretentious prick!" Her mouth as foul as ever as she swore endlessly at him like she was in charge, clearly not understanding how in trouble she was, her temper taking over her common sense. She didn't know what he had planned for her, but she wasn't going down without a fight.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
