[miseducating]

[Nick was finding his way around the Keep. It was nice here. Better than home anyway. And being here had helped to set his mind at ease. Unfortunately, it has done little to curtail his drinking. If anything, it's acerbated it. Ever since he found the bar, not a day goes by that he doesn't visit. So many new flavors of alcohol to try, so little

[Nepeta had been on a perilous quest in search of the ferocious quillbeast when she spotted a cute black kitty! He look so fearsome and his fur was so pretty that she had no choice but to stalk him.

So that's what she's doing, following him through the Keep and waiting for the moment to pounce!]

[Nick is oblivious. He's really new to this being a cat thing. So he's just padding along cautiously, looking for some dark corner to hide in until he could change back.]

[Nepeta couldn't decide if he would make a better hat or friend... It was very perplexing. But there was only one way to find out!

She pounced! She aimed to land right in front of him, her claws unsheathed and her teeth bared in a huge grin.

So, cute black kitty, are you ferocious friend, or unsuspecting prey?]

[Oh god he's gonna die. Nick is so gonna die. When Nepeta leaps in front of him, he steps on his tail and stumbles in an effort to escape her. It's not working.]

[Alex is on his way to the library, having heard that it's not everyone's cup of tea but that there are books there for the reading. He'd finished up at the kitchens for the time being, making short work of the pots and pans that had been in sore need of scouring, and headed out.

He is rounding the corner when a scent catches his attention and he stops, mid-step, nostrils flaring widely. His eyes narrow and he shifts, moving in the opposite direction, following the smell. His pace increases until he is jogging, turning a final corner and stopping as he spots the black form ahead of him.

His footfalls slow and he crouches, hair fanning around his shoulders as he eyes the big cat with a mixture of caution and curiosity.]

Hey, buddy ..

[notthepinkone]

[Nick stops abruptly when he sees Alex. The voice is similar, maybe. But he's not going to approach. If anything, he looks ready to run in the other direction. Nick is non confrontational, don't you know.]

[allthesame2me]

[Alex remains crouched, watching the cat with an unblinking blue-green gaze. His head tilts slightly to one side, muscles tensing in his calves and thighs in this position.]

You understand me, bud?

[It wasn't a given automatically, but Alex was hopeful.]

[notthepinkone]

[Yes he understands you, but he can't vocalize that, so he just kind of stares. He suppose he should show he understands somehow. So he sits hesitantly.]

[Vie had been wandering the halls, attention mostly caught up in the book in her hand. Whoever knew learning about boats could be so interesting? It wasn't really, but reading helped pass the time and distract her when her thoughts strayed to things best left in the past.

Noticing someone at the end of the hallway, Vie looks up and freezes, eyes wide with terror. She snaps the book shut and reaches for one of her daggers.]

[Commentlog]

[notthepinkone]

[Nick is padding along the hall, looking for his room. Maybe he left the door open so he can just slip back inside and wait this shift out. Unfortunately, his room is behind the lady holding the dagger. Great.

He stops and watches her warily.]

[gotyourwallet]

[Oh. Crap. Vie does her best to hide her panic but her heart is pounding in her chest.]

I'll not attack if you don't.

[Her voice is firm and careful. If it comes to blows, Vie will not hold back. She just really hopes it doesn't go that far.]

Re: [Commentlog]

[notthepinkone]

[Don't worry, Vie. Nick won't. He remains frozen in his spot, eying the dagger. What do. Oh god. what do?]
