The warrior turned his scowl to the horned speaker. "This is no patron!" he boomed. "This is vermin! A pest that should be nowhere near my food and drink. What do you have to say about it, greeny?"

Kat winced, edging away from the warrior slowly, trying not to draw his attention back to her. She'd encountered these hunters before, humans who despised any creature but another full-blooded human. 

Through her terror, she wondered how he had caught her scent so fast. She did everything she could to appear human. Not that it was that difficult, seeing that the only signs of her dual nature were her ears and tail. Well, that and her claws. She hoped she wouldn't have to try and use her claws against that chainmail.
