2 - Orb: 12th of Rebirth’s Height

[give_kitty_cake]

I have noticed an increase in the number of wild dogs that have been running around lately. You should really be careful. Dogs can be dangerous when they decide to run in pack--....

EEEeeeeeaaaaa!!!

[ Koma's sentence was cut short by the scream of a small girl. Surrounded by a pack of those dogs Koma had been warning of and with her back against a wall the young villager had no choice but to cry out as the snarling vicious dogs advanced on her. ]

Tch!

[ Dealing with dogs really wasn't something she wanted to do today, but she couldn’t just allow that little girl to be hurt.
Koma leapt from the wall she had been sitting on and landed between the girl and the pack with an easy grace. Her form was obscured momentarily by a raging blue aura which took the dogs off guard. The pack took a step back, intimidated by the dark figure in front of them.]

So, you are fine with attacking a small girl, but a cat is too much for you?

[Koma smirked showing off a white fang. ]

If you run you might make it back to the woods.

[The orb, for what ever reason, decided to stop transmitting when Koma raised her clawed hand and charged at the dogs. It did catch a few yips and the telltale traces of battle sounds before the audio faded away too.]

[OOC: This can also be action if you want to run into Koma in the city. ]

They have a tea shop there too?
Leave it to you to be the one to find it.

[Oh she likes you, Tatra. ^^ Koma would feel terrible that she had been pulled away from her sister though. ]

[tatra]

It's a talent. And the people here are so friendly, I'm sure we could make due even if there weren't!

[give_kitty_cake]

We could always have water instead of tea.

[tatra]

Would you prefer that? I wouldn't mind.

[give_kitty_cake]

I thought you would have a stronger reaction to that. [Smile.]

No, tea is just fine. As long as there is cake I don't mind which we have.

[Up the castle stairs, just a little further until she is actually there. ]

[tatra]

What sort of host would I be if I refused? [ But she giggles. It was cute. ]

There will be plenty of cake, rest assured.

[give_kitty_cake]

Even a host doesn't always have to agree with a guest?

[At least she didn't think so. ]

[tatra]

Your preference of beverage is hardly worth taking offense at. I may have played my part as invader, but I assure you my intentions have always been peaceable.

[give_kitty_cake]

What do you mean, you played your part as an invader?

[There is a soft knock at the tearoom door. ]

[tatra]

[ She pauses to get the door and curtsey to her guest before answering. ]

My sister and I had planned to invade Cephiro and make it a part of our own Chizeta once its Pillar had fallen. We gave up once it was clear we couldn't succeed. Neither of us was chosen to be Pillar.

[give_kitty_cake]

I'm not sure what that all means.

[The curtsy was accepted without a returned one. Koma was grateful for the invite just a little less polite than Tatra. ]

Still... if you were invading...
You said it was for peaceful reasons?

[Koma walks over to the little area where the tea would be served and takes a seat. She was very curious about all of this. ]

[tatra]

[ And Tatra ever so gracefully takes a seat opposite. ]

We had hoped to rebuild Cephiro and expand Chizeta's territory.

[give_kitty_cake]

Why?

[Even as Koma asked she looked down at her hand, making sure the wrapping on it was secure. The stupid cut still ached but at least it was no longer bleeding. ]

You don't intend to try and invade this place too do you?

[tatra]

It's rather a longer story than this, but to put it simply, Chizeta is tiny!

[ She smiles and laughs, but eyes that bandage. If she has to, she'll bring a healer up here. ]

[give_kitty_cake]

Because your country is small?
I guess that makes sense. I don't really pay too much attention to politics.

[Concern over her hand is abandoned once the cake is spotted. For Tatra tea makes everything better but for Koma... it's cake. ]

That looks good.

[tatra]

Please, have as much as you like!

[ Tatra doesn't like to talk about the specifics, mostly because she disagreed with her sister on this account and doesn't want to say as much. ]

[give_kitty_cake]

Thank you.

[She digs in and grabs a piece to set onto her dessert plate. Then kind of nods at Tatra in a 'do you want a piece?' kind of way. ]

[tatra]

[ She waves to signal 'no thanks' and takes a sip of her own tea. ]

How are you feeling, dear?

[give_kitty_cake]

[Koma puts the serving utensil back down next to the cake then and begins nibbles her own slice. ]

I feel fine. It really was only a scratch.

[A bad scratch, more of a deep cut, but she doesn't want to say so. Koma is used to being pretty independent. ]

[tatra]

I'm glad to hear it! That was quite a show you put on earlier.

[give_kitty_cake]

You saw all of that?

[She smirks then. ]

Most people would be intimidated to be in the presence of a demon-cat.

[tatra]

I am not easily intimidated. [ She's not entirely helpless, even without her Djiin guardian. ]

But I am impressed!

[give_kitty_cake]

[Well, she is a demon-cat who fights towards the good of mankind so its not like there is any real danger. ]

Impressed?

[Koma actually looks a little embarrassed by the compliment. She nearly blushes but looks back at the cake to prevent it.]

Thank you.

[tatra]

[ Tatra's life is a little more complicated than all that. ]

Of course!
