[quote]Shalquoir tilted her head slightly at the rather rash display of aggression from the young feline. Charlotte was also somewhat confused by it all, but she wasn't dumb enough to not realize that the crow adorned woman was making the new member anxious. Shalquoir took a small step forward. Whilst she didn't move in a manner that would normally be threatening, her imposing demeanor was more than enough to make even Charlotte anxious. "Aren't we getting hot headed? If you wish not to answer my question, then so be it." Shalquoir spoke with a hint of disdain in her voice, and her harsh tone was the last straw for Charlotte. The young girl, abandoning any nerves that this new woman had given her, stepped between Shalquoir and Shadow. [/quote] Shadow instinctively step back and move his craw closer to the front of his body, as she spoke to him he begin to fear more and more that she was going to harm him. Suddenly the pink haired women step between them. [quote]"Now that's enough! Even I can see that you're just being a big bully. Mr Putty Tat is our friend now, and we stand up for our friends at this guild." Charlotte crossed her arms over her chest, staring down the crow woman without fear. Shalquoir was taken back by the courage of the girl who she had just written off as a ditz, smiling underneath her mask. To Charlotte's surprise, the woman bowed respectfully towards the young girl and then towards Shadow. "Forgive me, it appears my travels have made me uneasy. I meant no disrespect. I hope you'll not think ill of me from this poor display." Shalquoir directly addressed the cat boy, but she decided to not stick around to see his response. Turning swiftly on her heels, Shalquoir headed away from the two to complete her task. She wouldn't admit that his presence disturbed her, but for now she would wait and see how stable the half boy, half beast truly was.[/quote] "Friend?" He wondered while keep up his guard? This women just met him, and yet she already see him as a friend. Shadow can not say he understood her, but sill part of him like her now since she was about to successful keep him from danger. As for the cloak individual he can't say he trust her. Shadow more wary of human enough as it is, but with her hiding her body and face he couldn't exactly read her facials reaction or body language, plus the other side of him may have been aware of her faint sense of blood(Which may or may not be logically possible). Shadow then retraced his craws and lower his ear and tail. [quote]Once Shalquoir was gone, Charlotte dropped her brave face and turned to Shadow with a large grin. "Now that was scary! Talking to that mask gives me shivers. Pardon my french, but she was acting like a big meanie to you. Are you okay?"[/quote] Shadow then begin to scratch the back of his neck awkwardly before nobbling at her. [quote]She took a giant step towards Shadow, gently patting his ears in comfort. "See? You're safe with Charlotte! Now let's get you something to eat. You'll need to keep your strength up for our mission." She grabbed the boy by the hand and dragged him along to the bar, ordering whatever he wanted for him. As they waited for their food, she couldn't help but remember something of vital importance. "You never did tell us your name, did you? Go on, spill. Or perhaps you like being called Mr Putty Tat? Heheh"[/quote] Shadow requested a fish products: Since it was still breakfast time the closet he could get to it would likely be Tuna spread and toast. He also prefer meat products so he requested some eggs,ham, and sausage. He soon found himself digging into his meal, making sounding of delight as he tasted what humans had to offer. She soon asked him for his name, Since this pink haired women treated him quite nicely he felt compelled to stop eating long enough to answer. "It's Shadow, that's the name my friends give me." he told her awkwardly with a hint of guilt behind his words.
