[b]""[/b] Ashiek smirked at the hybrid before watching him scribble away at his little book. Before glancing toward Skylar who quickly waved to them that she was going to get them some supplies at the store before walking off toward the merchant. Red eyes watching her to make sure she was fine, he glanced away toward a Apelesshar who spoke. Ears twitching as he tried to make out the English words. Sighing a little as the man bowed to the incorrect people. It was traditional to greet the more higher ranked individual first, especially a Achashverosh like Xurga. It was impolite to not do so. Even if he couldn't understand them, Xurga was good at watching individuals and probably already disliked this action. As Keepa seemed alright in letting him come, Ashiek clicked his tongue and moved closer to him. [b]""[/b] Ashiek said with a soft concern crossing his face before turning and translating to Xurga. Xurga grunted, as his eyes glared at the new Apelesshar in examination before looking down at Keepa thoughtfully. [b]""[/b] he said, giving a slight encouraging smile to the young hybrid. Skylar traded some goods and set them in her bag. With a satisfied smile she picked up her bag and gingerly tapped her cane in front of her as she went to join the others. It was then someone bumped into her, roughly enough to make her fall back to land on her bum. [b]"Ah sorry!"[/b] the blonde said instantly as she slowly got to her feet. [b]"Watch where your going wench! I just washed these clothes and thanks to you their all dirty again!"[/b] Came a shout which sounded like a gruff man. By the smell, he was a somewhat clean person and he didn't have fur so he was probably a human. [b]"Really, I'm sorry."[/b] Skylar apologized again, bowing a little. A sound of a annoyed huff was heard before she stiffened as a arm wrapped around her. [b]"Well if your really sorry, I suppose you could repay me with a little something."[/b] he said, surely a smirk upon his face. Apparently, the man did not realize she had traveling companions, two of which looked absolutely furious. Xurga glared and seemed ready to charge foreword, but Ashiek beat him to it. The faster canine bolted over and suckered punch the man's right cheek. [b]"Hands off!"[/b] Ashiek snarled angrily in accented English. The man fell back and yelped and stood angrily and seemed ready to fight back, until Xurga caught up, his giant fists and claws ready to make his own strike. Gulping the man ran away. Skylar sighed a little and tilted her head. [b]""[/b] she asked curiously. Ashiek glared after him before gingerly patting down Skylar and made sure she was alright.
