"Pridemates should not fight," 

As the words left the animals mouth Rose couldn't help but feel a wave of guilt. This kind being was just as much family as the man she just struck with a chair. "Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!" She thought to herself, trying so hard not to be embarrassed caused the pain of one man and potentially another. Rose focused on herself, thus others were hurt. She had learned her very first lesson; put others first. 

"He mocked me!" Rose protested, "As if i'm some tiny weakling to be pushed around, so I guess... I guess I wanted to prove him and everyone wrong, but... I don't know, I guess I may have overreacted a bit. I guess. I think i'm just in a bad mood." She crossed her arms, looking to the floor. In reality she was nervous, really nervous, but she wouldn't dare reveal that to anyone. 

Rose looked up, locking eyes with the animal, "But, thank you for doing what you did. I appreciate it dearly," At that moment she realized this was the first time she encountered an animal such as this one, and was suddenly filled with curiosity. "You don't look like you're from around here, what's your name?"
