In the next few moments, as Celeste allowed the cat to warm up to her, she attempted to pick off the small crystals covering its body. What she was surprised to find was that the crystals would continue to grow back each time she plucked one off. Frustrated, Celeste grumbled under her breath with a shake of her head. "What am I going to do with you?" She whispered to the large feline. A rustle of brush caught her attention then as she looked up to see who was approaching. Her aquamarine eyes landed on a behemoth of a boy that was near twice her size. Surprise flitted across her face as he uttered vulgar words, her lips flatlining into a distasteful expression. Quickly pulling the cat to her side as she stood up to face him, her ears fell back. "If you mean we should kill it, I'll have to advise against doing that," she snapped, her hackles rising slightly. While she was still new to this land, she wasn't going to let some stranger just off her newfound pet. "I have seen others with these crystals and even mushrooms growing on them. I'm sure it'll pass," her voice is strong and confident, a paw protectively curling around the shivering thing. "I'm surprised you're not burdened by it," Celeste looks at him in a suspicious way. So far, anyone she had passed had been inflicted by this plague that she had no information about. |
