Gharn nods. "You be quick-quick. You could have escaped" he said confidently. He frowns, slightly confused for a moment. "As much fun?" Then his ears turn slightly pink. "Join you?" he says, his expression is one of utter confusion and befuddlement as he runs after Mira. He allows a little of the lion's strength into him, easily keeping pace with her. He runs easily, his own athletic form keeping pace with the Elf seemingly effortlessly. "Why do you want the stone?" he asks her, his breathing steady and controlled, a long distance runners breathing. He's still confused, but privately a little happy that Mira seemed to want him with her. Companionship is something he's lacked for the past several years, and Mira seems like a good person to have as a friend. He skids to a stop as Mira falters, automatically reaching out to steady her by grabbing her shoulder. He makes sure she's steady then follows after her, bare feet paddling along on the cobbles. His expression turns from one of mild curiosity to severe confusion as he looks at Mira, she's acting completely different now. What's going on? He frowns and looks between Mira and the other group. He sees the mysterious being's glow turn red and growls. "Who be you metalman?" he growls at what looks like a robot of sorts. Suddenly smoke billows from three small shiny objects dropped on the ground my the silent woman. He reels back sharply, his body changing, the lion taking over. He sniffs, trying to catch the silent woman's scent through the smoke, then coughs and rubs his eyes as they burn and he inhales the smoke. [@tybalt capulet] [@Dealdric] [@grizzthemauler] [@rekaigan]
