This... man walked into the Inn begging to slap someone. Kitty had watched him with amusement as he pleaded and begged. Of course, it wasn't long at all before he was getting annoying.
"Only if I can return the favor, buddy." She lifted her hand and wriggled her clawed fingers at him.
Surprisingly enough, the man didn't back away as she expected. In fact, he seemed to welcome the opportunity to exchange hits with the feline woman. Was he insane?
As fate would have it, just as she was exchanging smacks with the man, Tass would walk in. She gave as good as she got, and the man conceded the win to her, but the dragon still looked prepared to eat the stranger.
It was a blur after that to her. The rest of the Inn faded into background noise as she could only focus on calming him down.
She knew Tass disliked it when men hit women. But she never considered herself to be a typical woman. She was a brawler who made a regular habit of traveling the docks at night for the sole purpose of cleaning the clocks of drunken sailors. Especially the ones that thought women were to be man-handled.
In complete truth, she found the idea of being protected an alien concept. She was fiercely independent for centuries. She was fully expecting him to react much like the rest of the world did when she was confronted with a physical conflict. Apparently he was not the kind to sit back with a bag of popcorn and enjoy the show after all.
She was unable to soothe his ruffled scales, and so he decided to head out. She insisted on going with him. She felt like she was the reason for his foul mood, and she wouldn't run from it. She refused to run from his foul moods no matter the reason.
Suddenly she found herself no longer in the Inn. But... where was she? She could feel the tingle of magic on her and around her before anything.
As her eyes adjusted to the change of light, she took a step forward.
Crunch!
She looked down and realized she was standing on snow. She looked back up as wind she couldn't feel whipped her hair about.
"Where are we, sho dalath?
But before he responded she was pulling from memories not her own.
The Pearl.
Maybe this was worse than she thought?
