The girl's eyes welled up as she lept into this stranger's arms and squeezed him tight with gratitude, "ThankyouThankyouThankyou!!!" she nuzzled into his shoulder in relief of her anguish. She backed off as he introduced himself, "Te...tr---OH! you were talking to yourself?" she distracted herself with the memory of the first words she heard him speak, "Mm, well I am Reilin Kitara Claw," she introduced proudly, "...most just call me Kit," she added plainly, "I'm an Humgato---" she paused trying to come up with a title for her position as Tetro had, "...monster...food," she cringed, "Far from home? Are you a traveler?" she asked curiously, wanting to know everything she could about her new "home" and her savior.

Tetro was taken off guard as the stranger leaped into his arms and hugged him tight, thanking him several times in quick succession. He tentatively put his own arms around her as he wasn't quite sure what to do at the moment, though a little part of his mind rather enjoyed being close to her and his tails wagged just the slightest bit. He let go as she backed off to introduce herself.
So it seemed her name was Reilin Kitara Claw... or just Kit for short. Well that worked well enough. The next part confused him, as he'd never heard of a Humgato. The last part made his ears lay down flat with shock as it sounded like she was just a food source back where she came from. No wonder she was so relieved to come here! He decided not to ask her more on that, it obviously being a sore point with the way she cringed at the mention of it. Instead he answered her question about himself.
"Well not really a traveler exactly. I came to this galaxy by accident with one of my inventions. The people here have, mostly, been kind to me... but I've been working on a way to get back. This device was my attempt to open a portal back to my home. It seems that I opened a portal to your world though by accident. At least some good came of this though, as I apparently was able to save you." He smiled at her, hoping that since she spoke basic that she also understood a smile too... even though that facial expression had confused him at first. His tails were wagging though which he was pretty sure she'd be able to understand anyway.
"This is my lab, and I'd be more than happy to let you stay here as long as you want. This whole building though is part of an order that I sort of joined when I arrived in this galaxy. They call themselves the Outcasts." He gave a little information, not really sure if he had the authority to let Kit stay but unwilling to send her back to where she'd come from now that he knew what fate awaited her there.

Kit's ears remained straight up, her eyes still wide with interest in what Tetro was saying, her tail swishing methodically behind her as she sat on the flood, her legs carelessly positioned. She was glad he wouldn't be sending her back to that nightmare. When he smiled, she returned her own grin without parting her lips, crinkling her nose and squinting her eyes as she did. "Yes you saved me...you're my hero!" she admitted freely, "Ooh...Outcasts...what a fitting name...are we all from different places then?" she titled her head, eyes still wide and unblinking. She was curious to meet these other people and learn more about this place.

Dremora had entered the lab, one of the smaller forks on his lightsaber was not focusing properly, and he did not want to mess with it any more than he already did. Tetro, I was wondering if-- He was cut off at the sight of a feline looking creature, and a portal was behind it. Sigh, what did you do THIS time? Dremora laughed a little as his vornskr Vox followed him in, staring intently at the newcomer.

Me... a hero? He thought to himself after Kit called him as such. Tetroneaque never thought of himself that way. Lately he'd been depressed and thinking of himself as an abject failure in almost every way. Maybe he'd been too harsh on himself since Janlu rejected his advances. For some reason it didn't seem to bother him quite so much that she'd turned him away... she'd still remained friendly toward him after all. Tetroneaque realized that he'd been acting more foolishly than he'd realized, shutting himself in his lab nearly all the time and becoming reclusive. It was strange that realization only came to him now... but at least some good came from his rejection as it had spurred him to finish his device and using it had saved Kit!
"Well, we'll be the only two here that aren't from this galaxy... but yes, everyone here seems to be from different places and backgrounds. Word or warning, some people here aren't as friendly as me but at least you won't have to worry about anyone wanting to eat you." He paused then as he heard someone enter the lab and turned to see Dremora complaining about a small malfunction with his lightsaber.
"Oh hello Dremora! We seem to have another new Outcast..." Tetro let out a little nervous chuckle at the admission, hoping that this was okay.

The Red Sith looked up and down the newcomer. So where did you find... it...? He wasn't sure of it's gender, nor what it was. Did this come from your galaxy? Vox went up to investigate but was halted by a wave of Dremora's hand.

It was all very intriguing, Kit was captivated by this canine's friendly demeanor and quite pleased to know she wouldn't become someone's next meal even if they weren't all very nice people. With this, she turned her attention to the doorway where someone else had made an appearance. Her muscles tensed as she heard him. She didn't like the way he spoke to Tetro, emitting a low growl at the sight of Dremora and baring her teeth, her fur standing on end and making her look slightly larger than she was, even more peeved by the hideous creature that seemed to be under the man's command.

Tetroneaque let out a little sigh already seeing the two getting off on the wrong foot and deciding to put himself in between them both for the time being. "No Dremora, she is from another galaxy than my own... but not from this current galaxy either. I was testing my portal generator and ended up saving her." The Kit'aru quickly explained, leaving out for now the part that it had all been completely on accident and that he'd intended to use the portal to leave himself.
"Her name is Reilin Kitara Claw but is okay with just being called Kit." He explained introducing the Humgato to Dremora before turning his attention back toward Kit. "Kit, this is Dremora. He's a friend of mine. No need to get aggressive." Again he smiled in a friendly manner and offered Kit a hand to help her stand up in case the two wished to shake hands.

Dremora nodded his head in understanding. I see... welcome to the Outcasts... Kit. Vox had settled down by now, and found a warm spot to lie down.

Kit listened to everything, but she didn't like it. Relaxing her body, she let out another low growl to express her reluctance to play nice, though she calmed herself. Her ears perked up again as Tetro extended his hand and took it to pull herself to her feet. Now standing, she noticed her new friend was not so different in hight, but this...Dremora...was towering in comparison. No matter...Kit would not let size intimidate her. Sh kept silent for now as she observed the new beings, extremely cautious despite Demora's welcome.

Tetroneaque was glad to see Kit settle down though he could still tell that she was somewhat agitated. He couldn't really blame her though as she'd just been transported an unimaginable distance near instantly to this new place with strange new people to meet. The Kit'aru turned his back for a moment on Kit, his three large fluffy tails wagging slowly as he checked on his equipment for a moment. He needed to shut down things completely so as to avoid damage, not to mention disarm the weapons he had pointed at the portal since the portal itself was no longer active.
That done with a few quick presses on his exo-suit bracer, he kept his back toward Kit as he addressed Dremora. "So, what did you need at the lab today Dremora?"

Kit continued to watch the proceedings with her normal wide unblinking eyes, focusing more on Tetro's mesmerizing fluffy tails as he wagged them tauntingly. She was surely distracted from all else, including the newer Dremora and his strange pet. It was too much. As Tetro walked about, Kit couldn't hold herself for long, waiting for the right moment to strike, stalking the tails as prey...and then...he finally stood in one place...POUNCE! Kit caught one of his tails, purring softly as she snuggled it in triumph.

Dremora pulled out his lightsaber, and activated it. You see, the main beam is fine, but one of the smaller forks seems to be slightly unstable I tried checking out the crystal, but nothing seemed to be wrong with it. I then suspected that it may be one of the secondary focusing lenses, but i was unable to detect any cracks. Perhaps your equipment could do such? He deactivated his lightsaber and handed it to Tetro for him to investigate. After a moment, he smiled at Kit. I am not all that bad once you get to know me. Vox over there is not so bad either, once you get past his looks. he watched as Kit pounced on one of Tetro's tails, letting out a chuckle. You seem to have made a new friend.

Tetro listened to Dremora's analysis on the lightsaber, more than willing to give it a look. He had been working on some lightsaber technology of his own in the lab after all and figured that a repair job would be easy enough. Then his eyes went wide with shock as he felt Kit pounce one of his three tails and start to snuggle it. His whole face started heating up, and if not for his fur, everyone would have been able to see him blushing quite a bit. He wasn't quite sure what to say to Kit as he cast a glance over his shoulder at her.
"Uh... yes, it does seem I have a new friend." He said with a little grin starting to form. His two tails that weren't being snuggled tapped Kit on her shoulders to try and get her attention.
"I can give your lightsaber a closer inspection certainly. Hopefully it's nothing major, as it sounds like it might be that one of the focusing crystals might be slightly out of alignment. It might need a new fastening to hold it in place. Won't know for sure till I take a closer look though." He didn't move from where he was standing as Kit continued to snuggle his tail, making the Kit'aru blush even more beneath his fur.

"Nyahh~" Nothing could vex Kit as she happily cuddled Tetro's nice fully tail. That is, nothing except the foreign sound of a lightsaber being activated. She tensed up again, eyes widening as she looked off in the direction of the sound and hissed, still clutching the only security she had in the galaxy. Listening to Dremora speak, she merely let out a small nervous growl, trying to calm herself, but the strange glowing stick was disturbingly mesmerizing in its own right. Not wanting to show her fear to Dremora and not wanting to be attracted to the strange light, she buried her face in Tetro's tail to hide. She could barely hear Dremora as he spoke to her directly, unsure whether she should trust him at this point. She didn't know what was going on, but getting used to all these new things was rather difficult for the jumpy feline.
