Reasie stood in indecision, poised to run after, but simultaneously unable. could she leave Sammy alone with Claire? But she couldn't just let Malak be...
"Zylaa! Sing to Sammy- maybe it'll bring her around!" Reasie decided. She looked at Claire. "You coming?"
Then Reasie tore after Malak. "Why am I always LAST?" She hoped to do better than last time at slowing him down.

Reasie watched Claire and Sammy zoom ahead.
"Nevermind, Zylaa!" she shouted over her shoulder. "Man, I'm freaking USELESS." Nonetheless, she hastened to catch up with Malak, who was again on the ground.

"Dinner!" Nimras crowed happily, hopping off carriage.
"Whontha wroona wrek renride?" Spot mumbled around her mouthful.
The white Lupess blinked. "Um... What?"
The leopard spat out her mouthful. "Don't you wanna check inside."
"Not as much as I'd like lunch..." Nimras said wistfully.

He knew it. That whole "Clare" thing was to fishy from the start. She must have been a Tabloider. And now, he saw with a sinking heart, the carriage had stopped. And the two animal-mods were... eww... eating the horse?
Hearing footsteps behind him, Malak ran faster.

Sammy looked up. Malak was getting away. "Dangit!" Sammy screeched. "This guy will not quit!"

"Don't you wanna check inside." "Not as much as I'd like lunch..." Nimras said wistfully. "Fine," Spot mumbled. "Just try to leave the skin intact. I could use a temporary coat, and horsehide's as good as anything, I suppose." "Oh, and we eat Malak if he gets too close," Spot added as a tasty afterthought.

Okay, so Reasie couldn't use magic, she couldn't levitate, but she could run pretty darn fast. Her skirts flailing behind her, she was nearly caught up with Claire and Sammy.
She looked ahead... What were Nim and Spot DOING?!
"GUYS! STOP EATING THE HORSES AND GET IN THAT STUPID CARRIAGE!"

Nimras pricked her ears, hearing voices. The other horses shifted uncomfortably, but unable to go anywhere with Spot's (and Nimras' if she could ever get a chance for a bit) lunch in their way.
"It's not fair," the white Lupess muttered. "I've had a bad day, and all I'd like is a lunch break before the fighting starts out again. But no..." Hopping over to the carriage door, the white Lupess pulled and tugged until the door opened. "Well, there's no one inside."

They had the door open, hopefully the stupid animals wouldn't know what to look for. How smart could they be, they were a cat and a dog who were eating a horse.
He was more worried about the three girls who were following him.

"Ohh," Nimras said, hefting up a heavy, ornate looking crystal ball with metal bands wrapping around it. "I've seen one of these before. A couple of the mages have them. Don't know for the life of me what they do, not knowing any magic and all, but they're expensive."
She turned to Spot. "Think we could pawn it, and use the money to pay to repair all the damage our dessert has done?"

"One girl!" Reasie clarified, as Claire and Sammy were forced to give up the chase. She was nearly caught up with him now...
She added a burst of speed and threw herself at his knees, which buckled and brought him down on top of her.
"I've had ENOUGH of this, mister!" Reasie burst, squirming out before he could get his bearings. Furious now, she kicked him in the shin before placing her elbow at his throat. "We're done now, got it? You're going to tell me where patjade is, you're going to explain what's so special about that coach, and you're going to do it NOW before breathing becomes unpleasant for you!"

"Think we could pawn it, and use the money to pay to repair all the damage our dessert has done?" Spot just stared in reply. O___O "... It's... It's..." Words first failed the leopard, as she tackled the Lupess and pulled the crystal ball out of her hands. Spot fell back to the ground, the crystal in her paws. "It's round and shiny! Bweeeheeehee!" and thus, Spot just rolled around on the ground, happy about the round shiny.

"Spot!" Nimras barked. "If I could overcome the 'ball' aspect of it, you could very well control your kitty instincts. After all, I'm not chasing you, am I? Self control!" The Lupess rapped the leopard's nose. "Now think, why would Malak not want us to find this?"

The Lupess rapped the leopard's nose. "Now think, why would Malak not want us to find this?" Spot whimpered, an action leopards aren't really known for. She made a mental note to later blame it on having Nick as her brother. "Because ... because ... it's shiny, and most forumers like shiny? No, that can't be it ... Um ..." Spot attempted to think. "If the mages have them, and they're magical, then ... it could be the source of parfait's power?"
