Look Who The Cat Dragged In

Iskra stood tense, blue eyes focused on the woods as Arwen settled by her. It seemed the red woman needed to have a talk with herself about what a shit guardian she was. Once again, her charge was in trouble. Dragon and his companion bristled and moved into defensive stances, which eased the tension within her. It was good to know she wasn't here flirting with some coward who'd abandon her at the first sign of trouble.

When the voice rang out from the trees, Iskra watched with unconcealed interest as Dragon's feline friend engaged and an odd but lovely jaguar emerged from her place in the dark forest before them. Iskra relaxed with the rest of the group as the immediate sense of danger quickly passed. She wasn't sure she was ready to go and trust the creature that had chased Arwen and left her so scared, but she wasn't going to stand with hackles raised for no reason either. "It would seem so," she replied dryly, eyeing the interaction between the felines but soon losing interest when Dragon asked about Arwen. Smiling and nosing gently as Arwen's neck she sighed, "Well, it's an interesting story I guess. She's not exactly mine per se, meaning I didn't have her. I found her. And her sister. Ily disappeared, but now I kind of look after Arwen I guess." Iskra shrugged, wondering if he might lose interest knowing she'd taken on this responsibility on a whim. Who else was gunna do it though? Iskra couldn't exactly let someone else adopt the little rascal. Plus she figured Arwen could benefit from having someone around who looked somewhat like her.

Looking at Dragon, Iskra smiled apologetically, hoping he knew she was sorry their little chat had been disrupted so suddenly. But, sometimes duty called at inconvenient times, and that was okay. Iskra could roll with it. "Arwen, this is Dragon. He's pretty nice, so don't be nervous." Glancing at Dragon, she continued, "And Dragon, this is Arwen. She really enjoys following me to all kinds of places." Iskra giggled, thinking of what an effective tracker Arwen might grow up to be. She sure was good at finding Iskra almost anywhere.
