Legend of the Ferra Stone

The mage who'd caught Erebus was generous with her warning. And, to Juju's great surprise, seemed to want nothing in return for her assistant. Juju muttered a quick 'thank you' before the woman dismissed herself, only to come face to face with another angry bystander. Erebus tried tugging out of Juju's grip but the green haired hybrid held on tightly this time. "My sincerest apologies." Juju accepted the scolding without argument for three reasons; the first being that she knew she totally deserved it. The second is that she was one-hundred percent sure that even if she did point out that Erebus doesn't eat live meat and would have probably only attempted to play with the domesticated fowl, it would get her nowhere. Lastly, it took only about five seconds of direct eye contact before she was able to put a name to that sharp face. Prince Elion Farlith of the Adanon Kingdom. Just her luck.

Trailing far behind the big cat was Juju running with all her might, her cloak nearly falling off as it hung on by nothing more than the clasp at her throat. Thanks to the other woman's magic, Juju was able to catch up with Erebus before he got to the chickens. Although, that's not to say that this incident went by entirely without consequence: nobody seemed to have been injured in the mayhem but he'd certainly caused an uproar. "Oh my goodness!" The term 'embarrassed' couldn't even begin to cover the mortification Juju felt at the moment. "I am so very sorry! Thank you for stopping him!" Juju finished her sentence with a nervous chuckle although the scarlet haze dusting her nose and cheeks probably conveyed enough. The human-elf hybrid quickly finished closing the gap between herself and Erebus, grabbing him securely by a sharp horn even though she was pretty sure whatever spell it was being used to keep him in place had that covered.

"Yes you ma'am, that one is actually..." Erebus had lost interest soon after his mistress began speaking with the other Two Legs behind the cloth-covered wooden table. The giant feline flicked his ears around and nearly turned his head all the way back over his shoulder as the big cat took in his surroundings. He and Juju were currently in the middle of the local village's plaza and needless to say it was pretty crowded. But the big cat's sheer size was more than enough reason for people to give the animal a wide berth as the strode by. Not to say that he was completely ignored; a few children made deliberate detours to pet Erebus, which he thoroughly enjoyed and even made sure to purr extra loudly for the extra attention. One had the incentive to ruffle the beast's mane and he accidentally kicked out with a rear leg in pleasure (thankfully no one was standing behind him at the time).

The sound of a clicking tongue caught his attention and, knowing exactly what that meant, Erebus slowly rose to stand. "Alright big boy it's time to go." Juju scratched gently behind his ears before padding off to wherever it was she wanted to go to next. Erebus was quick to follow and easily kept up despite his lumbering gait. Juju pulled up the hood of her robe a bit higher, and out of pure coincidence Erebus chose to shake out his coat to rid himself of any remaining droplets still clinging to his fur. Thankfully the rain had just stopped, although that didn't mean the weather was any less cold. Erebus paused when Juju veered to the side, yet another seller's stand grabbing the woman's attention. He knew the drill by now so without further ado he promptly dropped to the floor, effectively ignoring the puddles beneath and around him. That's when something else caught his attention: clucking. It was music to his ears.

Erebus crouched and peeked beneath the tent's flaps. Aha! Not too far away, he was able to spot the source of aforementioned noises being carted around in a wagon. They were packed in crates and stacked up like pre-packed meals. Had Juju noticed the stupid little birds in the distance then maybe she would have been able to stop her pet and direct his attention elsewhere. Unfortunately for her she didn't, and that was all it took. Erebus lunged, bolting out from beneath the awning and heading straight for the peddler. From behind, "Stop him!" The crowd screamed and split as everyone scrambled in all sorts of directions to get out of Erebus' way.

Ma'ai resumed tending to his meal when Anuriel granted him permission to stay, although he wasn't so blind as to miss the lingering tension between the two demons. Damien's offer was generous indeed but not something he'd allow himself to indulge in. While both races were supposed to be on friendlier -if not neutral- terms, Ma'ai couldn't bring himself to surround himself with the enemy on a constant basis. Especially during one of his most vulnerable moments. "Thank you but I do believe I've already been assigned a sleeping quarter." Upon specific request and persistent pleading, Ma'ai had been given bunking in a tent with other angels and well away from demons. Ma'ai finished the last of his chowder and stood up to dismiss himself. "Thank you both for your company, it was a pleasure meeting you. Perhaps we'll see each other again soon?" All pointless formalities, of course they'd likely be seeing each other again soon considering how condensed and mixed the populations were here in camp.

Don't let the Grim bite.

Oh gosh XD That should be our thing now.

"No, not at all. My apologies it's just that I returned from a tedious journey not long ago and I do believe I am in need of rest." Ma'ai wasn't gonna lie and say everything was perfectly fine, fearing it may only come around to bite him in the rump later if this conversation dragged out longer than necessary. Though he calculated that he could continue chatting for a little while; he didn't mind Damien so much, plus he fully intended to finish every last bit of his chowder and not allow any to go to waste. "It was no problem at all" the angel finally added when Damien thanked him for his advice. Ma'ai certainly was no expect on the subject but he tried to help where he could. That's when Anuriel returned. "Would you two like some privacy?" he asked. Ma'ai was being courteous of course but there was a small part of him inside that hoped they said no so that he wouldn't have to relocate tables.

I don't known about it being in Toy Story (maybe you're thinking of that You've Got A Friend In Me one?) but the first time I heard it was at the end of the Cats & Dogs 2 movie. Now it's stuck in my head and I don't know what to do with that XD

Had he the energy, Ma'ai just may have given Damien the most sincere answer he could have possibly conjured on the spot. However, now was not the time nor place to start such an argument so he tried to think of a suitable answer that would satisfy the demon and pacify the tension. "That's bold. I think patience is the key here especially now that Chrissa knows how you feel." Was he egging Damien on? No although it would be easy to see why one would think that way. If asked his opinion, Ma'ai felt that love was something that took time so he assumed Damien merely fancied Chrissa. In time it would either develop into something deeper or completely vanish, depending on what occurred. As for Damien's latter concern... Ma'ai himself was a perpetrator to the ongoing conflict between Angels and Demons, so he didn't know how to answer the question. "I feel instinct may play a part in that." Ma'ai judged that to be a safe answer, since it was his truthful opinion and it kept him in a neutral position.
