[Now that the storm has passed and the dust has settled and the air outside is safe to breathe, Mads has decided to venture out into the Keep. He normally does so when activity is at a minimum and his chance of being discovered were slim. Honestly, he had no desire to converse with the people Lord Deior had so generously...saved

[There is someone following him. Actually, to be perfectly accurate, she's stalking him. Stealth is an art and even the best and most ferocious of hunters need practice now and again.

Besides, it's fun.]

[but_why_u_mad]

[It doesn't take long for Mads to realize he's been followed. Assassination attempts have left him cautious enough.

Still whomever is following him is probably inconsequential, and are therefore ignored.]

[He shouldn't have ignored her. In Nepeta's mind, that made him unsuspecting prey. And unsuspecting prey got pounced.

She waits until his back is to her before springing toward him. Heads up, Mads!]

[but_why_u_mad]

[Success! Nepeta has landed on Mads and his reaction is rather swift. He's reaching behind him and reaching for Nepeta to throw the annoying thing over his shoulder.]

[Bryn is already in the chapel. It's one of the places she likes to go every so often on quiet days. It isn't that Bryn's a religious sort, because she's not, but there's a small part of her that feels it's the place to go when she thinks of home.

She sits inside and thinks about her life back home. She thinks about the mother and father who really, were more mother and father in name than action. She thinks about Gunn, the only family she ever really had, and his current, apparent lack of existence.

It's where she lingers on all the things she can't change.]

[When Mads realizes the chapel is already occupied, he frowns and turns to go. But then he realizes just who it is. That girl from the punishment a few weeks ago.

She's tolerable at least.

He'll just sit somewhere else. But certainly not out of sight of her.]

[brynkitten]

[Bryn doesn't hear anyone come in, and undisturbed, her thoughts continue to wander. She idly wonders whether she really would have kept on her parents' track as she grew older. If she would have gone to school and let them arrange a marriage to someone who would have kept her life in line the way they did. She wonders if she would have stood idly by as they molded Gunn to their image of perfection.

She wonders how it all would have turned out if she hadn't turned into a cougar and discovered she was a shapeshifter. If she hadn't had to go on the run. If she hadn't had to hide it for the last three years...]

[but_why_u_mad]

[Bryn's thoughts are picked up on easily enough. And most were dismissed as uninteresting. Her home life was hardly anything he could care about it. Still, he'll continue to listen, just to see if she does think of something he can care about.

And suddenly there it is. She's a shapeshifter. For a moment, his brow drops and he looks furious.

Then his expression is almost pleased. Genuinely pleased. If he could not have Anna, Bryn would make a nice substitute. He gets up and approaches her carefully, so as not to startle her.]

Bonjour, ah, Bryn was it?
