/Seriously. Go away./ he shoos at the galabex animal again. /You're welcome. Go away./ and shuffles down the path towards the festively decorated house. Local legend, if he's recallign it right, lets anyone and everyone inside but the magic that saturates the place, its making a buzzing feeling at the back of his head, has effects nobody can think of. Plus he doesn't even see the entrance outside. The bunnybex watches the cat shuffle his way, human-walker style, up to the big barrier. She's not magical, she can't see anything specifically 'wrong' with the place. Not unlike looking the feline right in the eyes and getting wigged out. But standing out here in the cold isn't an optimal idea. As she trails his snow shuffle trail with delicate, and frozen, footsteps, she's not heard at all. Or the cat does hear the movement of snow around her as tall or not, the galabex does need to make more of a trial to the house then he does. D10 TBB10 [28 0/5 0/10 3/20]

Oh he's in trouble now. The feline makes it to the porch of the house, richly crackling in open door warmth. Like someone put on one of those human heaters. But because he'd be half frozen instead of fully thawed, -crunch- What wasthat. Looking behind him, the galabex lifts her foot, as a snapped bush, buried by snow, snaps. She doesn't spook, but does freeze up. Down at it, up at him. What was she waiting for, a reaction? He pinches the portion of your face between nose and forehead briefly. It escapes him, why this creature has followed him from the garden to a potential deathtrap. /Fine. Come over here./ he waves at the creature, and shuffles over onto the porch further. She...doesnt' move. Or doesn't understand. /I said... come here./ But he hadn't picked a name. Don't creatures usually respond to a name? He thinkings for a bit, then /Kouveli./ Similar to Kouta, who had not been there when he'd discovered the rabbit doe deer thing, but not. She blinks at him. The galabex isn't moving, so Skylos takes it as a reasoning she doesn't actually understand him and moves towards the inside. Begin Name D11 TBB11 [28 0/5 0/10 4/20]

Two problems with this, besides communication. One, what does a galabex even eat. Everything he had was a carnivore or a food garbage eater. Two, would she eat anything he offers? How dumb..or smart, were the galabex bunnies? Unsure, the cat doesn't ask her forward again, and retreats further into the house, into the warmth. Convincing a wild animal to come along with him? Ha. He tries another way, and makes a weird clicking noise that makes his rough tongue interact with the roof of his mouth, and it feels SUPER WEIRD, and won't do that again. /Kouveli./ But what he does notice as he turns back after a minute, is the creature is paying attention to him. Her eyes are blinking towards him. /Kouveli./ Offering his paw, he clicks again, and inwardly shivers. Feels super weird. The galabex as a breed are mostly silent, and rabbits as well; but that doesn't mean they aren't fully silent. She has screamed before. D12 TBB12 Name, Come 2 [28 0/5 0/10 5/20]

-ting- The ominous ring of a bell catches the galabex's attention, the stalks of her ears flicking forward, slightly lifted up so she can hear. Eyes roaming over the immediate area, immediatley on guard. She didn't move from the spot, and the tone fades into the silent background of the snowy outside. Skylos heard it, but he didn't see it happen. /Kouveli/ he calls out to her. /Nothing there./ he tries to reason. With a deer rabbit. Yeah. Feeling real stupid about this. Her ear flicks sideways towards him. She hears him, notices, but unlike a dog (or a cat), neither rabbit nor deer are especially loud creatures. Or vocal for that reason. /Lets go this way Kouveli./ he clicks his tongue and moves further onto the porch. Inside beckons. Lovely and warm, and my god would he give anything rihgt now to be relaxing in front of a fireplace. In an armchair. D 13 TBB 13 Name, Come 3 [28 0/5 0/10 6/20]

There...there isn't any reason to not go into the warm. Right? Wary of the tall cave the mammalian who clicks and makes sounds she doesn't understand, the galabex turns her head when he calls out again. A note that sounds unusual. /Kouveli.../ the animal's eyes aren't on him but a moment or two, roving over the space in which he coaxes her to. She vaguely trusts him to not eat her, to pounce on her back and injure her. -ting- Another round of the noise. Its not loud. But the cat doesn't notice the sound this time. He clicks, and motions into the open maw of the cave. The warmth is inviting... she has never been indoors. /Kouveli/ Skylos calls out gently, trying not to sound frustrated at her lack of attentions on him. If your an animal, you pay attention, right? He clicks to her, beckoning her forward. /Come on over Kouveli.../ D14 TBB14 Name, Come 4[28 0/5 0/10 7/20]

The big thing about standing out in the snow in fur covered feet is the chilling cold seeping into her feet themselves. Stamping a paw out of the snow briefly, the galabex tosses her antlered head with a snort, pawing the ankle deep snowdrift and dancing a bit. It is very cold. /Of course your paws are getting cold. That is why I came up here, off the snow./ the mammalian before her makes more sounds, more like speaking to himself. /The porch is safe Kouveli, I am in no danger. Nor are you./ He clicks gently and backs towards the doorway. No treats in his pawlms, because he's no idea what she'd even eat. But he does have her attention. The ringing sound fades into the snow. Until it rings right next to his foot. Skylos pauses, looking down when he hears a snort-stamp from the galabex, who is looking at him, not at his face, but at his legs. At his feet... is a tailless rat with a bell in its mouth. Stamp stamp. She doesn't like the rat. D15 TBB15 Name, Come 5 [28 0/5 0/10 8/20] (lynx enileaf)

/All this unease, thanks to a rat. I'm surprised at you Kouveli. You are much bigger then this./ He crouches, and grabs the tailless rat behind the head, like you would capture a snake. It thrashes and squeaks, dropping the bell to clatter at his feet. /Nothing but trouble./ and he's almost tempted to eat it himself. The creature is about the size of a hamster, another kind of tailless rat. Instead, he tosses his paw up and down before doing a bad over hand throw, launching the rat into a nearby bush. The galabex, who he has deemed Kouveli, watches the rat's sailing progress with her eyes and head, then looks back at him. /Kouveli, that is embarassing. Being uneasing of a rat without a tail, but not of me./ the mammalian tosses his now ratless pawlms upwards in a frustrated motion. He clicks at her to come along and goes inside the door. Inside... is a very suspicious table with a plate of carrot and apple cubes, and hunks of grasses tied together? D16 TBB 1 Name, Come 6[28 0/5 0/10 9/20]

He's not the quickest of minds in the cold, but the mansion seems keen on treating the galabex. Because he doesn't eat carrot or apple or grass lumps. Looking back, she's scooted forward a few steps, leaning forward to sniff the porch steps with a wary curiosity. /I'm not giving you any of these treats until you're paying attention Kouveli./ he remarks, back turned. The porch creaks a bit with the weight of something large. A soft nose puts itself into his ear, and snorts an exhale, making him jump. Looking around, the cat man regards the now very close galabex. She gives a snort, and gives him a light butting with her head, the side with less antlers. /You are nothing but causing trouble./ the cat grumbles to himself, ignoring when her ears perk forth at the similar sounding noise he'd been making. /Wary of rats, but not of me. Are all deer as dumb as you act Kouveli?/ She straightens up her posture, looking him right in the eye. D17 TBB2 Name 7 [28 0/5 0/10 10/20]

Forget the tiny tailless rat, those eyes feel like looking into a pair of jewels. Something in those luminescent eyes do make her nervous, its true. Granted, if she looks at the cat mammal's ears, or his nose, but not him rihgt in the eye, the twistry nervousy dancing in place feeling in her stomach lessens. It isn't gone though. He speaks again, with the familiar word /Kouveli/, and she pays him some more attention. Focus on his nose. Or between the eyes. Not in his eyes... Finally, he reaches for the plate of appetising smelling food, and offers it to her. /I supposed you've earned it Kouveli./ he sighs to himself, and opens his pawlm to offer an apple cube. The doe? galabex leans in, watching him, before lipping the treat out of his pawlm. He nods, and lets his hand drop, letting her back away. No chance to let her nose him in the ear again.

Finally, Skylos gives the table an examination, as he can hear the cautious crunching of apple cube behind him. There is an unusual holiday card standing up among the small hor derve plates of treats. Curious, he nudges the paper edge with a finger, then picks it up. It's in common on the inside... and not a holiday card at all. But an invitation. "Welcome to Winter There is an increased amount of feral creatures running loose through the mansion and along the river this season. Bewear the polar bear. Good luck on discovering them all." There is a marking of a skull and crossbones beside the bear word. Must be something dangerous. The city has no bears that he knows of... right? There are cautious creaking footsteps as the galabex, now in the house proper alongside him, sniffs cautiously around, slowly loping forward like a bunny walks. /Have you ever seen a bear Kouveli?/ he asks the galabex. She snorts at a patch of dust in the corner that looks more like unmelted snow then dust. Looking over at him, he lobs her a cube of fruit with a nod. She's getting the idea to look at him when he speaks her name. D19 TBB4 Name 9[28 0/5 0/10 12/20]

The invitation of hunting animals? What, were their pelts worth a bounty on the board of something? Granted, he wonders since Kouveli is an unusual beast of her own look, if she was part of the amount of feral animals the vespa and he discovered in the gardens in the fall. There were many. Only a few had he decided were of interest to him. Kouveli stayed of her own accord after being freed. Cautious still, the galabex lopes forward and stretches upward to sniff at the card in his hand. lipping at it experimentally before wrinkling her fluffy bunny nose and snorting at it in disgust. Blech. paper! The cat smirks, a tooth or two showing. At least he won't need to worry on the giant rabbit deer deciding his books or papers were worth eating in spare time. Instead she moves around him and starts nipping at his tail! /Kouveli! WHat-/ Somethins scrapes the skin of his spine and she pulls a thick twig out of the tangle of his tail. .../Thank you Kouveli. I didn't see that./ She holds the twig, nibbling at it. He spears a cube of apple on it. D20 TBB5 Name 10 [28 0/5 0/10 13/20]

If they weren't on the flooring of the mansion house, he wouldn't hear her coming. This would be something to change; because with the silence of winter, and potential dangerous animals running loose around here, it would be smart. The mammalian's gaze lingers to the discarded gold bell. What if. The twig clatters to the floor while the bunnybex eats her treat, crouched up small. Trying not to ring it, the cat pawlms the bell and picks it up. It comes iwth a moderately long ribbon, and he could likely tie it onto Kouveli's antler. Easy to reach for him, hard for her. Unless she starts rubbing her antlers on everything. Isn't that a deer thing? The quiet nibbling is louder as she breaks into the apple cube. Carefully, he pulls out the bell, and it tings as he reaches to tie it onto her antler. There isn't much space for it to swing and ring around like that. But she stiffens at the grab of her antler.

Perhaps he is taking the creature's 'easier to trust a predator' nature too far, too quickly. Kouveli stands up from her bunny crouch and the antler is above his head, out of reach. The twig is momentarily abandoned, staring down the cat man wihtout blinking. Unease. The obalesecent eye watching, but he doesn't back down. A backwards movement, she was backing away from him. Unwiling to be gored, the mammalian shows her his uncovered paw hands and the bell hanging from two fingers. He wanted to give her a gift is all. Those eyes stared. Behind her, the doors swung shut. This isn't a quiet process, the metal brackets clinging the door into the wood squeal briefly, like something out of a haunted house. The deer rabbit stiffens and sees her mode of escape is gone. Her other eye focuses on the cat again. With his lack of personal space. Still wanting to touch the antlers. D22 TBB7 Tolerance 2 [28 0/5 0/10 15/20]

With no experience in something large and plant eating, he doesn't recognize the danger signs of seeing the whites of the eyes, or the pawing of the ground between them. Skylos does notice that she isn't looking at him, but at the space beyond the table. Something beyond it was spooking her. He turns slowly, and sees.... a lemming. A tailless rat, with something silvery glinting in its mouth. Did it have a coin or something? THUMP He turns his head. Kouveli's large fluffy foot is pointed outward from her posture. Raising, and thumping again. What was she doing? He tries to approach her, to calm her down, but the deer rabbit's antlers make him unwilling to get closer. The lemming drools around its mouthful of prize. The floor jumps beneath it. Oooh. There are giants beyond the table! Hi giants! The giant with short fur looks really ...endearing. He waddles forth, even with the occasional, more frequent, jumps of floor. Skylos practically stumbles backwards when the deer rabbit screams, and darts her head downwards, forward, then up.
