Bastet's ears perked up, "A cat? You have a cat?" She immediately lightened up. "Finally! This house is full of wolves!! I have my cat, but she likes to go off and hunt in the woods... I was really starting to get kind of nervous with all the canines around." Bastet sat at the table, "What is the cat's name? She's probably sleeping, but I hope to see her sometime."

Aura frowned slightly. "It's not like he brought her here to snack on her..."
Eclipse snorted and flared his wings slightly at the mention of said vampire. "That creature. His scent is all over Aurahkah all the time now, I can't stand it. I still don't trust him at all, that bloodsucking thing...
Aura's frown only turned into a glare that was locked to the winged wolf. "Eclipse stop it."
The wolf actually emitted a small growl, turning his eyes to Aurahkah. "How can you trust him so easily? He almost killed you in Egypt, yet you allow him so close to you and allow yourself to be alone with him, have you lost your mind Aurahkah?!"
Aura reached a hand out and grabbed the wolf by his collar, twisting it tight and drawing him close. "How dare you speak of him that way! You won't even give him a chance, that was melinia ago! If you really cared at all about me, you'd give those I care about a chance."
"I'm only trying to protect you!"
"I don't need to be protected from everything Eclipse, especially not from your misconceptions!" With that Aura turned, storming off back into the house, hands clenched into fists.

Laughing at Bastet's obvious joy, she said, "Her name is Rasui and she is black and white. She'll probably appear in a little while looking for food. She tends to get a little upset when her meals are late." Nailah shook her head. "I love her though. More than anything." She joined Bastet at the table. "I'm assuming we do, but I will ask anyway, do we have any cat food? Rasui isn't picky, anything will do." Suddenly her eyebrow raised. She felt a strong anger coming from outside. It was a rage unlike anything she had ever felt before. And it seemed to be coming from two different directions.
Rasui stretched and yawned, sniffing the air. She suddenly arched and flew off the bed. There was another cat about. And that annoying wolf. She located her mistress through her nose and haughtily stalked into the kitchen meowing her distress.

Bastet mewed happily and picked up the cat as it walked on. "She is cute!" She nuzzled the cat eliciting a purr from her. "I make tuna frequently, if Rasui is a normal cat then she will like it and come running when I fix it." Bastet's ears perked up as she heard some shouting. She furrowed her brow as she noticed a look flash across Nailah's face. "Excuse me, I hear something. I think we should check it out." Bastet moved out the kitchen into the great hall to see Aura fuming. "Uh, Aura? What is wrong? Do you need some coffee?"

Nailah watched as Bastet moved out of the kitchen. She felt the anger consume her to the point of complete control. Nailah followed Bastet and was shocked at the image before her. "Aura? Did somebody push you in a lake or somehting?"
Rasui's ears perked up and she jumped down from Bastet's arms to see what the commotion was.

"Well, Saradin said, then Eclipse followed him up, then I yelled and Eclipse wouldn't stop, and ah! I need a drink!" She pushed past both of them, still slightly muddy and wet, and grabbed herself a glass from the cabinet, angrily pouring herself some wine.

Completely silent during that argument, Saradin could only guess at what he had stepped on. Sitting for a moment in awkward silence, he thought of something to say. "Vincent and Aurahkah?" It was all he could come up with. "I had no idea. Well, if she trusts him so much, I think I can a bit more. But, based on what you said about him almost killing her, I still intend to keep an eye on him."

Bastet sighed then followed after Aurahkah back into the kitchen. She stood and looked at her for a moment as she fumbled with her drink. Then she walked up to her, took the glass and drink, and bumped her aside, pouring the drink for her. She then handed her the glass, "Now that you have a drink, down it, and tell me calmly what happened. I heard shouting and you are frazzled, so do not say it is nothing."

((Ick Lag))
Eclipse snorted after her. "Be that way!" Then he looked to Saradin. "You didn't know? And you want to base your trust with hers? I think she's lost it...she couldn't trust him in Egypt yet wants to trust him now simply because she had a brief five minutes encounter with the man? It's ridiculous!"
Aura downed her drink, no on really had to tel her that one. "It's Eclipse, and Saradin, though more so Eclipse. Saradin said something about Vincent, then asked Eclipse what he thought, which was a mistake, and then Eclipse went badmouthing Vincent and myself as well..." Aura slammed her glass on the counter.

Nailah leaned in the doorway and watched as the scene unfolded before her. She felt the anger get stronger and stronger and felt her eyes begin to go glassy. She sighed and knew in a matter of moments the feelings would over take her entirely. To the point where she could no longer control what happened. She didn't want to interrupt the private exchange but she had no idea who Vincent was. Obviously he was a person that had caused some major discord between Aura nd Eclipse. And Saradin had opened a terrible topic in mentioning it.

"Maybe." Saradin's head tilted upward, gazing skyward allowing him to think more clearly. "But rather than fighting her about it, couldn't you just keep a closer watch on him? Getting frustrated will only drive a wedge between you, one that he could take advantage of if he couldn't actually be trusted." Cogs began to grind mentally as he formed various concepts, involving both Vincent being actually honest and him betraying her and them all. "Give her your opinion of him, but try not to tell her she's wrong. What happens if he really can be trusted?"

Bastet, very calmly, took the glass from Aura and filled it up again setting it in front of her. "Eclipse disproves of Vincent? I was not aware..." She turned and leaned on the counter as her ears flatten some with her thoughts. "Why is that? I thought he usually trusts your judgement. But he raised his voice to you? You just both need time to calm down."

Eclipse snorted once more and laid down in the grass next to Saradin. "It's just my job to protect her. What happens if he can't be trusted. I can't loose Aurahkah, I'd rather be too cautious than not cautious enough. I bared my fangs at him once and I'll surely do it again."
Aura downed the second glass that she was given an took in a long breath then let it out slowly. "Eclipse was with me when I met Vincent, he almost ripped his throat out then because Vincent had gotten the upper hand in a fight we had had. He's basing his judgments on the past, even I have changed over the years so I don't' see how he can do that."

Nailah relaxed as the anger began to drain out of her. THat was definitley close. Now she could simply listen and begin to understand what was going on. Eclipse was upset...but wait a minute... "Eclipse can talk? I mean yell? When did that happen?" After being completely ignored she decided to keep her questions to herself. She stayed in the doorway as she felt anger emenate from the area Aura had just come from and assumed Eclipse was still quite pissed.

"Thats fine Eclipse. I still can't bring myself to trust him, based on what he is. I think though, that he will be proving himself with what's happned last night. This girl he brought home, whom I pray he hasn't harmed. Try to stay with her though, an enemy can take advantage of your fighting. Besides, it doesn't suit you two to be fighting, you've been together for a long time." His weight was leaned onto one hand as he brought his legs up underneath him to stand. "I hate that I hate him based on what he is, it's something that I've always feared for myself. Let's both keep a close watch on them."
