PFA noticed Cat Assassin as she turned her head towards him. "Did you want something?" she asked curiously.
Cat Assassin was stunned for a moment, surprised about PFA's question, but recovered and quickly answered, "... Nothing. I just felt the need to be closer to you at the moment".
From her right shoulder, he moved his left hand to the other side, almost at the point where he seemed to be hugging the niece. His cat instincts felt it was necessary: he had to stick to his promise of PFA's protection.
((... So what's gonna happen now? XD))

Zaha stopped, a deep feeling of homesickness welling up in her throat. The plains were right in front of them, Felrae in plain sight. What she wouldn't give to be back there. But she couldn't, not with the Sylian stone. 'Home.' she muttered. 'Not any more.' Even so, the burning behind her eyes wouldn't stop. Zaha stopped and put a hand over her eyes. She wouldn't dry. Not in front of everyone else.

Cat Assassin seemed a bit startled by PFA's question, but still replied, "... Nothing. I just felt the need to be closer to you at the moment.""Okay..." PFA blinked. Suddenly Cat Assassin brought his arm around around and brought PFA into what seemed like some sort of hug. PFA's eyes widened a little, and her face reddened slightly. Erm... this is awkward... she thought. "So shouldn't we be going?" SRGNG suddenly burst in. "Uh, yeah..." PFA replied, nodding. "We should really get going..." she turned to Cat Assassin, "Um... it's kind of hard to walk when you're... hugging me..." ((Talk about awkward...  )) |

"Um... it's kind of hard to walk when you're... hugging me..."
Noticing PFA's sign of discomfort in the form of those words, Cat Assassin removed his grasp, but not before hesitating for a moment. Still, he wrapped his tail around the female ninja, being careful not to make contact with her so as to not get noticed again.

Cat Assassin stopped his hug. PFA's face turned just a little redder. "That's better," she said, not noticing him wrap his tail around her.
She looked around for a moment, noticing that Zaha had stopped walking. The cat girl had her hand in front of her face, almost as if trying to hold back tears.
"Is... something wrong?" PFA asked Zaha cautiously.

'Wrong? everythings wrong. That city there is my hometown. If it wasn't for that blasted Sylian stone, I would be there. Doing my job. As a preistess, I could do something for someone. be useful. Amoung the ninja's, I'm a fifth wheel. And my first mission I didn't voluenteer for has sent me right back to the place I never wanted to face again.' Zaha said quietly. 'The Sylian stone is unclean, a thing of dark magic from the beginning of time. But I cannot leave it. It's a part of who I am, In more ways than one.'

Hearing her cries of her banishment from the city in front of them, Cat Assassin had much to ask about the details. However, her vast grief had given the orange cat a hint not to question too much.
"... Exile? That state where you constantly force yourself to run away from a certain place..."
He took a deep breath and let out a long sigh.
"... At least I'm not the only one who's experiencing exile anymore."

Somehow, the fact Zaha's voice was empty of emotion made things more awkward. 'Technically, it's for their own good. The Sylian stone is dangerous, and many would love to get a hold of it. Anyway, they'd be angry. They'd have found a new High Preistess by now.' Zaha fliscked her head around and narrowed her eyes. 'You've been exiled?'

"You've been exiled?" Zaha asked, her eyes narrowed in expression.
Cat Assassin lowered his head a bit. "... As a hitman, I had to swore never to leave my former clan's company... Being a mere toddler as of that time, I've never experienced my own freedom... But since meeting SILE, I had regained my sense of independence... at the cost of having to run away from the one who had taken care of me for years... I was happy that I was able to think for myself, but I regretted leaving the clan... My second home..."
"... As of now, my clan still has its target on me... And reluctantly, I had to run away... T'is my primary reason I'm here in your world."

'Hmmm.' Zaha scratched her ear and thought.
'Holy Bastet! ZAHA!'
Zaha turned. 'Oh fishdroppings.' she swore.

Rain sighed and let things pass. "It was just a little exageration," she muttered. "And, what do we know? Mordor... it was just a joke.." The girl stuffed a hand in her pocket in a rather protective gesture. She listened to the (rather random) goings on and raised her eyebrows. This was just as good as being under the Stategic HQ all day. Well, almost as good. She might be entertained if stories about the past might be told much at all. A rather loud exclamation was thrown at Zaha and Rain turned around. Now, what was that?

PFA listened as Zaha and CA exchanged their past stories. So much backstory she hadn't known about until now. She paused for a moment to think things over, when she suddenly heard a voice...
"Holy Bastet! ZAHA!"
"Oh fishdroppings." Zaha said in response to the voice.
PFA looked over to where the voice came from. Zaha had said her hometown had been just over there, right? It must have been someone Zaha knew. This would be interesting.

A Lilac Cat clad in a purple-and-white robe hurled herself at Zaha without much warning. 'What happened to you? Where have you BEEN? Who are these people? What are you wearing that for?' The cat kept on babbling until Zaha firmly clapped one hand over her mouth. 'Ears up, Liiah Aera. I can't go back. I'd have to stay, but I'd be putting the whole city in danger. I joined the Ninjas to find the idiot whom told me the Sylian stone would make Felrae a city dever to be lost in history. Lies, all of it. If I find them- I wasn't sure about the gnder, actually- I'll make them host this soul-sucker themselves. ' she removed her hand, then patted her on the head. 'Well, actually...we got raided last night.'
'WHAT!'

((PFA, Vyt's dead as of this time... Maybe you're talking about CA?))
Everyone was alarmed by a scream from afar. A lilac cat in a purple-and-white robe suddenly appeared running towards the group. Cat Assassin's instincts told him to assume his fighting stance, but his perception had told him otherwise after seeing Zaha let the stranger near her. A line of annoying questions hurled quickly followed the scene, almost ticking Cat Assassin off.
"Ears up, Liiah Aera", Zaha interrupted. "I can't go back. I'd have to stay, but I'd be putting the whole city in danger. I joined the Ninjas to find the idiot whom told me the Sylian stone would make Felrae a city dever to be lost in history. Lies, all of it. If I find them- I wasn't sure about the gender, actually- I'll make them host this soul-sucker themselves", she added.
The orange cat was going to ask what the Sylian stone had that banished Zari in the first place, but was interrupted by another statement from the lilac cat.
"Well, actually...we got raided last night", she said, followed by Zaha's exclamation.
Setting his questions aside, Cat Assassin stepped up towards the stranger. "Excuse me, miss... But can you please disclose the details quickly? We're actually on a mission here, so if you're trying to make Zaha stay in the city with either a sick joke like that or a task she probably would not accept to do, do not waste our time", he coldly said, not even giving the female cat his introduction.

((PFA, Vyt's dead as of this time... Maybe you're talking about CA?)) ((Whoops. ;; Silly braindead me. It's fixed now.)) "Excuse me, miss... But can you please disclose the details quickly? We're actually on a mission here, so if you're trying to make Zaha stay in the city with either a sick joke like that or a task she probably would not accept to do, do not waste our time," Cat Assassin told the lilac cat. "Uncle!" PFA hissed. Then she turned to the lilac cat. "Did you manage to see the person, or people, who raided you? Did any of them look like a ninja?" |
