Keladry looked down at her Ahalad-Kaaslane after the Fey woman, Yoshe, had called him odd. ~Finally someone else agrees with me~ her mind-voice laughed, though she was clearly just poking fun at her other half. He, however, didn't seem to like either of the statements very much and showed it by out blatantly ignoring the both of them, seeming far more interested in cleaning off his front paws.

His human counterpart shook her head; he was certainly a cat. "I'm Keladry, or just Kel, by the way," she explained. "My companion is Eango and he is indeed special. He is one of the Goddess Amiya's blessed animals and was sent to me so that we may fulfill our roles as guardians of our land and people. The Blessed Lady has granted him a humans level of intelligence, so he understands everything you say to him, and because of our bond we are able to communicate telepathically with each other along with a few other things."

When the scaled creature entered the Inn it caught the attention of Eango, who followed the bigger animal with his eyes. Only when it started to approach him did he actually move, but it wasn't much. He simply stood up and moved to the other side of Kel, putting himself between her and the beast and then bared his teeth slightly as if to say "You'd better not touch her" and then laid back down. The other creature didn't seem threatening, but the cougar wanted to make sure he knew his place, even if he was outweighed by a good fifty pounds. ~And you thought I was strange~ he said and gave out a huff.

Keladry turned to see what her Ahalad-Kaaslane was talking about and immediately raised a brow. ~Aww, he looks like he wants to play with you~ she remarked and gave Eango a playful kick with her foot in an attempt to urge him into being more sociable. As odd as the scaled feline looked to her, he could very well be a normal thing to see on his own world. Really, who was she to judge?

So caught up in the blue creature and her own thoughts as she was, Kel take much notice the drama going on until she heard a thunk and groan. Her and Eango's heads turned in complete unison and as soon as their minds had processed what happened they were both on their feet. "Eango, get a towel!" she yelled, though quite unnecessarily as he was already leaping up over the bar to find one, and ran towards the injured man. When she reached him she grimaced, but the look turned into a reassuring smile as quickly as it had come. Her Ahalad-Kaaslane came up next to her with and laid the cloth in her lap and she immediately grabbed it up and pressed it to the wound. "You shouldn't go sticking your arm into the mouths of things with sharp teeth," she scolded teasingly, trying to lighten the situation as she was prone to do, "It usually ends up hurting."
