[color=a0410d][i][h1]Onyx Bright[/h1][/i][/color][hr]It seemed the crowd could sense the scenario playing out between the two women, the excitedly moving people parting around the trio like they were a large rock in the stream, leaving the two plenty of space to have their little conversation. Of course, the people of the crowd could also have just been hearing Kirara's low growl and decided not to mess with them. There was currently a very real possibility of getting bitten if anybody got too close. [i]Overprotective Scelts sure are [u]fun[/u] to deal with.[/i] Although, as Onyx noticed the people skirting around them, she did try to calm Kirara down again by ruffling his fur and scratching the top of his head. Normally picking him up and hugging him was enough, but even now he still growled at the Priestess.. 

[color=a0410d]"His name is Kirara. Sorry about the growling- he's a bit protective of me."[/color] Onyx said, and he finally stopped growling at the mention of his name. After a second he turned his head so he could lick Onyx's cheek. [color=f9ad81]"Put me down please..."[/color] She hesitated, but smiled slightly at his next words. [color=f9ad81]"I won't hurt her, unless she comes close to you again."[/color] 

She whispered back to him before putting him down. [color=a0410d]"Better not.."[/color] As soon as he was back on the ground again, he sat right in front of Onyx, glaring at Tempest as he addressed her. [color=f9ad81]"Onyx is [i]my[/i] person. Back off."[/color] It didn't matter if she understood him or not, she would probably get the idea just from how he was acting. Onyx just shook her head and sighed. [color=a0410d]"It's Bright. Onyx Bright."[/color] Another sigh came as Kirara yipped at a person in the crowd who stepped too close, and Onyx gave Tempest another apologetic look. 

[color=a0410d]"It was nice to meet you, Tempest, but we should be going now."[/color] Kirara began to follow her as she turned away. She called back to the woman over her shoulder, [color=a0410d]"Have a good day!"[/color]

As the two gained some distance from her, Onyx glanced down at Kirara. [color=a0410d]"You haven't been that.. [i]openly[/i] hostile to a complete stranger in a while. What's wrong, Little Brother?"[/color]

[color=f9ad81]"Nothing."[/color] He yipped back. [color=f9ad81]"I just.. want to go home now."[/color] As he finished speaking, they finally got to one of the gates out of the city. 

[color=a0410d]"You and me both."[/color]
