The galabex is breathing hard through her fluffy bunny nose, sides heaving. Something is heavy on her antlers. And she. cant. reach. it! Making noises of upset, snorts and such, she shakes her head and tries to dislodge the heavy. There is no rat now. Where is the rat?! He sees the rat. And an antler point ...through it. Yeah. This is PRECISELY part of the reason creatures with antlers make HIM nervous. Kouveli can't see her impaled prey, stomping around and shaking her head to free it. This might be an oppertunity. /Kouveli/ he pawlms a cube of apple as he approaches the upset deer rabbit. She stomps an shakes her head, seeing the cat, on approach. What. WHAT. What did he want? He's reaching again. Her head arches upwards, but he doesn't take her increase of height as a hint, and reaches. Grabbing forth with those grabby paws. ?! D24 TBB9 Tolerance 4[28 0/5 0/10 17/20]

The cat doesn't grab her antlers this time, like the first time, but something attached to her antlers. Not her ear, its too high up. Her ears fall back along her back, slightly raised in alarm. The galabex fights him briefly by backing away from the grip, and the weight on her head... slides and falls away as she stomps backwards with awkward steps on tiptoe before crouching with flat feet again. In his paw... was the rat. Limp, and dead. The blood smell. She looks suddenly panicked again, with wide white showing eyes. And nowhere to run. Skylos however, has his grip with one paw on the dead lemming's scruff while two fingers reach into its mouth and pull out the coin. Its... not a coin. But a crystal about as long as a human's longest finger. Well. Weird rat ate weird thing. But he's not one to pass up a free snack. The poor galabex has to witness the cat opening his mouth and eating teh lemming. Crunching sounds. Chewing sounds. He swallows his snack, smacks his mouth with satisfaction. Bit fluffy but take what he can get. She watches him with frozen stare raise his bloodied paw and lick the fingertips. D25 TBB10 Tolerance 5[28 0/5 0/10 18/20]

It's aobut now that Skylos realizes that he's in the same room as a large plant eater, perfectly capable of goring him in terror. And she's scared looking. ...oh. Probably hasn't seen a cat eat a rat before. His fingertips are a bit pink still but he'll groom more when they get out of this house. Instead, he rubs his paws on his clothing, and picks up a few more cubes of apple, and a carrot for good measure. /Brave girl, Kouveli./ he purrs, crouching on his toes just out of reach. /These are for you./ he opens his pawlm to show her the treats, Pouring them out of his paw into a small space between them. Her wide scared eyes focus on him, down at the treats, then back at him. Confusion. The mammalian is offering treats? Neither creature moves. Around them, the warmth of the mansion holds a smell of spice and cinnamon. Like someone is brewing mulled ciders nearby. D26 TBB11 Tolerance 6 [28 0/5 0/10 19/20]

It makes him feel better to be making words that purr. He doesn't want the deer rabbit to be scared of him. If its about his eyes, he can't do anything really about it, aside from walk around with his eyes closed. Which isn't a thing; he doesn't have a sixth sense around him like some sort of fictional bubble. Not like 'that'. /I don't keep plant eaters. Forget sometimes you don't like dead things... or meat./ he looks away, being more bashful then he should be towards an animal, rubbing a paw around one of his ears. The inner hairs of his ear occasionally itch and bother him. The mammalian doesn't treat the animals like animals, not like some humans he's seen. Skylos doesn't hear the hurried breathing of the galabex as he pays interest to the floor. Until a soft nose puts itself in his ear, and wuffles. Looking up, he sees the galabex, paying attention to him, standing over him. D27 TBB12 Tolerance 7 [28 0/5 0/10 20/20] +1 Skylos

She won't forgive him. A rabbit's memory doesn't compare to an elephant because the rabbit is almost always caught before an elephant is. But she stands there, practically tiptoe on her front paws to snuffle into the cat's large fluffy ear. His posture jerks, clapping a paw to the offending ear, as she steps back and eyes him. He hates it, she knows that. Kouveli looks at him for nearly a minute before he moves first, offering his paw again. There is a single treat in it. The glance of unease... and she slowly leans in to lip the treat out of his pawlm, like a horse would. The carrot isn't freshly cut, and tastes more of apples then carrot, but it crushes between her teeth and the galabex chews her treat. Watching. Waiting. His stomach is doing some sort of werid flip flop motion inisde him, because She's close enough for him to touch her... but those antlers are also close enough to cause damage.

The tenseness in Skylo's crouched figure is prominant, wrapping his tail around his torso to avoid it being stepped on by any potential panicking bunnydeer. He holds the unusual lemming spat on crystal in one paw, his attention all on the creature instead. She's going to give Kitri a run for her money on bigness. Not the crouched up sort of big, but the stretched out sort of big. No doubt, in a race, the worginu would catch and overtake the galabex. He can see that in his mind's eye. Convincing his fellow carnivore roommates to not eat her would be a challenge of itself. Granted, the wasps were not his issue until spring. She watches him. He watches her. Someone will have to move first. A raw acidic feeling of a dry throat bothers the mammalian briefly. It is hard, trying to earn the trust of soemthing that clearly should NOT trust him whatsoever. He opens his pawlm again, and its not a treat, but the bell. This wasn't a treat... Granted the treats between them are gone now, as Kouveli does like apple cubes. She steps back, curious and wary of the bell. He had it the last time he wanted to grab her antlers. Why is that... D29 TBB14 Tolerance 9 [29 0/5 0/10 2/20]

It tings mutely as he reaches up and holds the item by his own ear for her to see, pointing one finger upward like some fake horn itself. Wha... ? A shift back and forth of his head, as the bell makes a ringing noise in free movement, then nods at her. Repeating the gesture. There is a pause, the galabex watching the mammalian before a shimmery space on her right catches her attention. The space shows them both. Her in her tall bunnydeerness, him acting like a resolute predator... iwth a bell on his ear. She briefly mimes the swing of his head, oh she sees it now. He did kill the rat, after all. Careful to watch his every move, the bunnydeer bowed her head briefly with a soft wuffle. She can't see his body, but his feet are moving, slow and deliberate. There's the briefest hold on the upper points, but not a yank or a tug or anything. The bell's noise chimes as it slides over bone points until he has it secure, and moves away from the deer before she tosses her head upwards and gores him. Ting.... when Kouveli raises her head to look at him, the bell on her mid point tings with movement. Small enough to not make a lot of noise but he will HEAR HER coming. Looking at herself in the shimmery space, the cat no longer has a bell on his head, but she does instead. ...that was it all along, wasn't it. He offers a paw, without a treat. The galabex doesn't move, until he looks away. Kind of like Hiccup's first contact with Toothless. Because a few minutes pass, the ting of a bell, and a warm fluffy nose puts itself into his nervously awaiting pawlm. D30 TBB 15 Tolerance 10 [29 0/5 0/10 2/20] (pom chiryma)

The shimmery space that they see on the side of the wall... fades. No longer are they stuck in a long hall with a table of snacks, but the house is opening itself up to them. A 'feeling' creeps up on the feline's spine, like they aren't alone here. Maybe he's just being paranoid. The gentle 'ting' of the galabex taking a sideways movement from the unease of the disappearing space... towards him. Leaning gently against him for the briefest moment before separating, loping past to turn and face the space. Her movements make a distinct 'THUMP'ing noise with her foot. Sign of a threat maybe? What was making her ill at ease? More lemmings? The dark space beyond the shimmer lights before them, a long hall with one door on each side, and a foreign sort of music coming forth from one of them. Skylos doesn't blame the bunnydeer beside him for being upset. She thumps her foot again beside him, the fur on her thick neck fluffing up. What does she sense, because he doesn't see it.

Was the house beckoning them further indoors or was this a threat... he's not versed enough in the INDOOR lore of the place, but outside the space changes by the month. Even the house itself changes. A lurking suspicion of being watched. Skylos gets up off the ground with slow, deliberate movement to not alarm Kouveli. A gentle lean against her haunch as he stands up, taller then the crouched animal. Her large ears perk, eye glancing at him. Instead, he looks her right in the eye. The problem that almost every animal has with him is with his eyes. Those weird, unusual off colored jewels imbedded in his face that don't sit right with anyone that isn't with humanoid blood. A growl bubbles at the creature beside him as she stands up... and shuffles away. This is different from the 'oh **** thats a predator' realization. But a realization that he is WRONG in many ways. She has an escape route now. Would she take it to escape the look in his eyes? D32 TBB2 scary sights 2 [29 0/5 0/10 4/20]

/Kouveli.../ Skylos said, taking a deep breath, exhaling a cloud of cold air. He took a careful step onto the carpet covered path... and nearly slipped. Of course the intersection of carpet and wood would have hidden frozen spots. The galabex scurries backward a few steps, eyes wide and worried. Cat slip? Why? He reached out, snagging on a low hanging tablecloth that enclosed the beginning of the table. The evergreen needles poked at his fingers as he held on tightly. Sliding into a mound of carpet at the side of the room, the cat managed to keep himself from landing on his back or stomach. Clinging to the cloth, he practically sat in the mound of carpet, claw marks scraped through the dust, revealing the frozen puddle. The bell tings over the points of her antlers, the jackalope getting panicked from his sudden movements. Why did scary eyes slip? She didn't get it! Something was here!

The mammalian usually isn't this clumsy, his eye ridges knit together in confusion, a clammy feeling spreading over his whole body. A whole body shiver. He didn't know what was going on right now, because a cold breeze picks up around them. The evergreen needles woven into that cloth prick at his pads, releasing the cloth. A loud THUMP THUMP, as the jackalope stamps her feet and shakes her antlers at an unseen (by him) threat. Scary. Looking around, behind him, his paws on the ground as he twists. The cold pricks his pricks. A thing of cold and light, on three... standings... looking more like some sort of elongated bird then anything else, arching forward with pricks of yellow light staring forth. Was it a thing, or an apparition. Feels cold. Really cold. Kouveli chatters, shivering. Her black and crimson fur starkly contrasts to the room, which feels colder and colder.

The odd little feeling he's had since being hit with 'that', tells Skylos three things as he sees the cold 'bird' looming. 1. HIGHLY MAGICAL. 2. VERY DANGEROUS. 3. THIS IS ITS TERRITORY. The fur on his spine prickles, breath coming out in a chilling mist. The ground beneath his pawpads is painfully cold. In his blindsight, the galabex stamps her feet again, chattering and backing away with heavy thumps. Backward hops. She'll probably flee soon, he thinks to himself. Mammalians have no power against the elements. Thinking is slow... its so cold. He has to find somewhere to be warm... The jackalope stamps her feet in alarm. This creature is ALL SORTS OF NOPE, and she's looking for a way out. but... but scary eyes isn't moving. He's...stiff. Like a dead thing? A different kind of alarm, one of upset of the cat's state buds in her instincts. A cautious hop forth to him, keeping an eye on the thing. Scary eyes? J3 TBB5 Scary Sights 5 [29 0/5 0/10 8/20]

She puts her soft nose into his soft ear, something she knows he does not like, scary eyes. Instead of the warmth, the ear is cold to her nose. Er, getting cold. He shivers. Being a bit heavier set, She'd think he has some sort of fluff to be against the cold. This long fur that tickles her soft nose is longer then her fluffy fur. Dense, but not long. Stepping over him, she looks at his face, making a concerned sounding 'bark' of warning. Bad thing, go now. Scary eyes must go! His eyes are open but he isn't noticing her alarms. Those eyes... are REALLY SPOOKY. She can't get over those eyes. Probably never will, but the giant cold 'bird' thing is scary too. Kouveli takes hold of his thin fur over fur, a tug. Go away from the bad thing! Away! Scary eyes cat won't move! The apparition of cold and magic just watches. Taken by surprise. J4 TBB6 Scary sights 6 [29 0/5 0/10 9/20]

He's so cold. Watching Kouveli's attempts to rouse him like its across the room while half asleep. Making a soft whining noise as she tugs on multiple parts of his shirt before trying to move him with her body vs just a tug. Just let me sleep... he thinks to himself. The sound of something sharp clicks on the frozen floor. The bird has landed. Blocking her path. Flight flight flight. The jackalope isn't goign to stick around. However she wants Scary Eyes to come. He'll be eaten if they don't escape the predator bird! Tugging here, tugging there, he still doesn't move. Whine... why. Why?! Clicking noises on the frozen ground. Whatever that bird is, its coming closer, from behind. She has instincts of sharp claws digging into her deer body and carrying her away to be food. NO. Of carrying her frozen in place in fear? Scary eyes away to be food. ALSO NO. J5 TBB7 Scary sights 7[29 0/5 0/10 10/20]
