Did it work? Maybe it did. Loki-cat's ears lifted from the back of his head and he seemed to stop shuddering. Maybe Katherine's mutant ability did have an effect even when Taylor stepped closer.

Until the professor tackled the large black panther. Latour dared to wrap the big cat in a headlock and ordered Taylor to restrain the feline as well. Now things were much worse. Loki-cat was even more agitated and scared. And, probably pissed off to boot. When his eyes met Katherine's a second time her heart ached for him. Kat had lost a bit of respect for the professor in this moment. Latour was suppose to be their mentor and teacher, helping his students learn to control their mutant powers. Yet, here he was, physically restraining a frightened student instead of trying to defuse the situation with calmness and kindness.

As Prof. Latour ordered her to use her mutant persuasion power on the panther Kat momentarily considered using it instead on her teacher and Taylor. But, that would most certainly leave the two of them open to an attack. [i][color=C71585]Maybe they deserve it.[/color][/i] Katherine shook her head. She mustn't think that way. Letting her emotions get the better of her was not a good idea with her power. That's how--

Katherine adjusted her position in front of the struggle going on before the class doing her best to once again have her dark eyes catch Loki-cat's gaze. "[color=C71585]Loki, hey Loki[/color]," she called as calmly as she could possibly manage. "[color=C71585]Hey, it's OK.[/color] [u][b][color=C71585]Lo[color=9932CC]ki ..[/color]. trus[/color][color=9932CC]t me[/color][/b][/u]," she told the feline. Kat waited a few seconds hoping her words would sink in, but in Loki-cat's increasingly feral state she wasn't sure if her ability would work at all this time. But, she had to try. Before anyone was seriously injured. Taking a deep breath she spoke once again. "[u][b][color=C71585]Lo[color=9932CC]ki ... re[/color]lax[/color][/b][/u]."
