rumbe, bumble, toil and trouble!

Lucky for him, Angel was a woman who liked being told she was pretty. "Oh, my" she tittered, a gentle blush creeping over her pale blonde features "are you this, ah, smooth with every pretty lady? Or am I just special?" She could not help but thickly lay it on, wondering his intentions, but also tried to speak clearly. English-speaking tourists and tutors had introduced themselves long ago. It was a boon to speak two languages - both 'Common' enough. Though English was the common tongue here.

Kore stumbled through his words. She found it cute despite his younger age. Angel had no patience for little children and was quite glad he was not any younger... Else she would have ignored or snapped at him long ago. He wasn't so bad himself; tall dark and handsome and would grow up to be even better looking, she bet. "I may need to lean on you for support - if that is okay" she uttered, feeling her ankle swell with a grimace "luckily, my companions can care for themselves." She did not want him to worry over the canines. Her only concern was heading back the way they came, though... She would have to leave Kore behind, yes?

He proved to be amusing so far.

"We were beset by bandits" Angel continued, without waiting for permission she slipped up to his side and pressed against him. Letting his bigger frame support her weight. She either had no shame or she didn't feel threatened by him "they took my belongings" She huffed, lashing her long feathery tail "ripped them from my neck and ear!" Along with many other things the caravan held "then tossed me and the others to the side. Just because they were bigger than us." The German Shepherd - the caravan leader - had tried to fight back. Alas, the wolves were too big. Too fierce. Angel was just lucky to be alive. Takeshi left her in the end, and she met Kore now thankfully.

But the indignance was still there.

"Are all wolves like that?" she asked, pouting "b-but yes. Yes. We should leave this place. Quickly." An earthquake would be the icing on the cake!
