Never Take Us Alive

*Rhaegath*

He snorted at her response. It didn't seem like gratitude was something she was used to. Not that he couldn't have handled the cat on his own. He would have shoved that thing in the river one way or another, but she'd made his job easier. He was quite pleased with the way its body contorted at the bottom of the falls. It'd gotten what it deserved and then some. He was tempted to go down and get a tooth from it, but he supposed the trophy could wait. He needed to make sure she hadn't been followed first. After that, well he imagined a giant tooth would make a pretty decent necklace. A joke about how it could replace Zosime's broken one popped into his mind causing him to snicker to himself. Yeah, he was definitely going to go back and get that fang once he was able.

He listened as she explained she'd lost him at Firefly lake. He hadn't been, but the details of where or what it was didn't really concern him. He had just wanted to know if they needed to keep moving or prepare themselves for a fight. He was slightly surprised she had heeded his advice. It seemed there was reason somewhere in her brain after all. "Good." Was all he replied. Once she lost Kefka he imagined she was going to realize how valuable her freedom was. No parents telling her what to do, where to go, or who to see. She'd get her occasional fight in and it was a win-win for every body. He'd have someone to master his own skills with and have company that didn't completely suck.

He watched her curiously as she began to lick the blood from her horn. He didn't think much of it until she offered him a taste. Cats weren't really on the menu for him as food, but seeing as he probably wouldn't get the opportunity to taste the blood of the large toothed cat again he couldn't find a reason not to. Shrugging his shoulders, he padded over to her and bent his head down to take a swipe of the blood with his tongue. Once he had, he withdrew from her personal space and savored the taste on his tongue. It tasted like ... well cat blood. Slightly foreign, like nothing he'd ever tasted, but still cat blood nonetheless. "Hmm, I expected it to taste more exotic than that." He said, slightly disappointed. Oh well. "It's almost a shame there's not another one to kill." Cats weren't known to travel in groups, so he wasn't concerned about another one. The fight left in him was just itching for the ability to go revive the one they'd just killed and kill it again. "Where'd you get your armor?" He was curious, mostly because he'd contemplated getting his own. With the amount of fights he intended on throwing himself in he supposed the protection would be necessary. He didn't exactly have the best of mind when it came to dodging things he should. The pain was too enticing to shy away from.
