Welcome to Gaia! ::

"We do not understand your worry about a 'witch hunt'. Cymarron and Eclipse alone coudl handle anything those..people..could use agasint the Manor. and with Bastet, her elf, and Saradin..why is there cause for worry?"

Did this village contain some kind of power that Cymarron did not know about? did they have powerful spirit users or being that coudl move through shadow like eclipse?

"Lotus? Cymarron has heard the name...but I don't think we met that one. is she a spirit here? We understand. we will use more caution when dealing with the village, we promise."

He guzzled down what was left of his eggnog, and offered another slice of meat to Ecara, while eating his own. his ears swiveled around listening to everything around.

"We worry for the Den mother and Saradin. they seem...connected. We notice when one fell, the other did. why are they not mates?"

A nod. "Yes, Lotus is a spirit here. Literally hunted and killed as a witch. Ever since then...we've been less trusting of them. You should meet her, she's quite the fire cracker." His ears twitched as did Cymarron's, perhaps trying to listen for whatever he was listening for. "Connected?" Next statement took him quite by surprise. "Aurahkah and Saradin Phoenix together...it's never been a thought in my head. But if I had to guess, I would say it was because Aurahkah is afraid to be hurt again, and Saradin never seemed to want to be that close to someone."

Ecara took the treat again, and in no time, it was gone as well. A fanged smile on her face as she licked her fingers clean. Her ears perked at the pet and she turned slightly to look up to Bastet. "Bastet's ears...are gone?" There was that confused look.

Eclipse now turned his look on Bastet. "The little one is right...need I ask?"

Her face went instant wary, it was really that noticeable. Then she shook her head, "Let me make a slightly long story short. My final enchantment wore off and i turned back into a cat. I went to someone who was in my debt for their help, we ended up back here, and because of her twisted sense of humor and her cocky attitude, she changed me to full human instead of my mix I so enjoy. By the way, human senses suck and these nails are nothing to my claws. I feel slightly vulnerable..." She shifted her weight uncomfortably, "I want to change back, now I am human and I think I am aging like one too. Oh and Aurahkah and Saradin? Interesting topics we choose here." A smile went to Cymarron, "Thank you, though if you do not mind torturing old ladies, there is one in the manor who is at fault but she is rather nasty."

"Where is the old one? we can be persuasive, was are sure."

He flexed his claws lightly, giving a playful but markedly vicious little smile.

"Cymarron will probably go later to the village, to check on Nailah. We promise we won't kill anyone else, though. and no throwing through windows, or tearing off doors, or throwing into and across bars. How can you stand not having your claws? and what can you teach Cymarron of reading and writing? and now you'd have to use your metal fangs if you..what is the word..sparred? with Cymarron."

Studying Bastet for a moment he shook his head, a look of displeasure on his features. "I couldn't imagine walking upright with out a tail. I have enough trouble walking upright with it, but without...loss of balance completely." He actually found it quite funny how she was bashing on normal human senses. Eclipse raised a hand to his ear, short claws scratching away an itch. "Just remember what I told you Cymarron."

Cymarron nodded

"We wouldn't eat Bastet. but we want to learn all languages and writing Bastet can teach us. and yes, we are making sure Nailah is well taken care of. no one will touch her, and only one woudl have the gall to try. and we will deal with him in due time, if Nailah doesn't first. we know Nailah still has our daggers. and now she should have a good bed nad nice clothes that her debtor won't turn to rags if he knows was best for him and his bloodkin."
