If she hadn't already been alerted by Kir's howling, then the loud thud that echoed in the silence of her apartment certainly would have. Aurora turned, eyes wide and hand raised, ready to wield the can as a weapon against this intruder. She was certain she would be able to handle herself against some goon... Unless they had Pokemon, then she would run into some trouble. She had her own, but two years simply living a leisurely life had diminished her Pokemon's urge to fight and she wouldn't know how to order them to fight. Not anymore.

Steeling herself, she took careful steps inside. Kir was crouched in front of [i]someone[/i] with his lips curled back in an intimidating snarl. She ran a hand through his fur in appreciation at apprehending their intruder before she turned to actually look at said intruder. Now, Aurora wasn't an idiot. She may not have been kept up to date with the news, but she recognized a gijinka when she saw one. [color=39b54a]"Fuck!"[/color]

She had a gijinka in her apartment. If she squinted and gave it a little thought, she would have probably been able to identify exactly what kind of gijinka it was, but only one thing rang in her mind. Gijinkas were illegal, and she had far too much to lose if the police thought she was harbouring them. [color=39b54a]"Fuck,"[/color] she repeated, the can forgotten as it fell on the floor. Her agitation seemed to only make Kir's grow, and she could see from her peripheral that both Karika and Anja were getting anxious as well.

So, she collected herself. She took a deep breath and glanced at the gijinka - a female Ariados, she now realized. [color=39b54a]"I do not want anything to do with you. Leave now, or I'll-"[/color] She paused. An Ariados...

Her eyes widened. It had been a passing thing, but she saw the poster. [color=39b54a]"You! You have a bounty on your head. A [i]big[/i] bounty."[/color]
