[h3][center][u][b][color=1E90FF]Claire De la Noye[/color][/b][/u] & [u][b][color=D2B48C]Natasi[/color][/b][/u][/center][/h3] Claire would shift lightly in her seat as Natasi grunted and partially moved within her slumber, tail whipping across the floor now and then followed by thick puffs of breath emitted by the hound. The sound of Claires name being spoken made the woman shoot a glance at the man she had come to see, it wasn't one of fondness as she spoke in a calm yet recognizably annoyed tone, "[color=1E90FF]If you don't mind, Winston, I hope it's okay to call you that. It's actually Scarlet,[/color]" she'd begin, eyes drifting over the group as the man began to go through the those gathered. When the man removed his PDA, she'd realize she better do a check over and pulled out a small device of her own. It's screen black with faint blue lights scattered over it and a bright logo sat across its top reading '[i]V7.02 Companion System[/i]'. Anyone that could see it by any means would see some form of statistics and a life-line running across the very top. The faint beep it produced now audible to those about now that it was no longer confined in a pouch. Claire's own ears would eventually collected the sound of two more sets of pacing coming towards them while Natasi's eyes would barely open to peer at the approaching two scaled men. They were uneven in size comparison as they reached Winston's table and Claire would just huff a light breath as she got ready to return to her device. This was before she was halted again and listened to a masculine voice approach, the man it belonged to then sat nearby at the same table earning him a very unsatisfied glare. Sitting up straight as she continued to hold onto her device, Claire heard the man ask to pat the over-sized house-pet lying upon the floor, "[color=1E90FF]Your guess is as good as mine on that one,[/color]" she'd state, her voice retaining that same energy as before if not coated by a little extra unpleasantness. The woman eventually continued reading over the statistics, listening to Winston in the background while she proceeded in hitting a few buttons and sliding them around as she compared and calculated some things, "[color=1E90FF]Everything's looking good Missy,[/color]" she'd then say. With one foot reaching over, Claire lightly shoved the slumbering beast onto its side with yet another '[i]thud[/i]', and just then as she was watching the flailing Sorvath, the man everyone was gathered around suddenly rose and gestured to them all. Booted feet planted firmly, Claire would rise to a stand and quickly tuck her V7.02 Companion System back within it's pouch. The continuous beep it produced now silenced once more. "[color=1E90FF]Natasi. Time to get going. Get up,[/color]" Claire would bark towards the now rolling hound, Natasi's legs flailed in the air while her lizard-like tail swayed dangerously side to side. All Natasi did at this point was stare upside down, with a wonky expression of content, at the seemingly unimpressed mistress of hers. Claire would soon shake her head as she started towards the door and lightly spoke over her shoulder, "[color=1E90FF]Come on, Taz.[/color]" Sure enough as the woman got further away, the creature would suddenly begin scrambling to its feet. The scraping of claws repetitive on the bars flooring as Natasi would quickly prance with great and surprising elegance towards her mistresses side. Claire would glance down towards the beast of hers with a light smile hidden under her mask, it'd been there a while now from the rolling act Natasi had put on and she huffed, "[color=1E90FF]Silly creature you are.[/color]" With that, she'd then open the door to let the Sorvath back out into the wet before following it, she didn't mind if she made it out first since after all, it saved being stuck right among the rest. Moving off to one side of the path away from the entrance, Claire would crouch beside the large animal and begin to lightly scratch the top of its head and down it's neck. She knew all too well that she couldn't be angry at Natasi even when she tried to play silly games, after all she was only young.
