Interaction with [@Typical] [@HokumPocus]

[hr]
Paranoia. Could be worse. Chres could handle a paranoid Crazed for now.... So long as the man didn't Snap.

That was about when Octavio's familiar spoke out. [color=#ffff66]"I apologize for not having formally introduced myself to this party. I am Lynx, travelling partner to Octavio."[/color]

Chres turned his attention to the familiar, caught off guard. This was the first time the familiar addressed the party.

[color=#ffff66]"Despite my feline appearance, I am an individual of distinguished origin and would prefer to be treated as an equal on this journey."[/color] It said.

Chres was taken aback. A familiar seeing itself as an equal to the rest of them? Familiars were property first and foremost. The intelligent ones were designed to understand this difference between their selves and a normal person. The less intelligent familiars, like  Sil's, were simply made to not be smart enough to understand. It was a guard put in place for the owner's own safety... as well as everyone else's.

Octavio's familiar was clearly different. That unnerved Chres. How many others were out there like Lynx? How many of them were dangerous?
  
Lynx turned to Sil and muttered. [color=#ffff66]"And no Sil, you may not play with my tail,”[/color]

[color=a2d39c]"Hmmmmmm..."[/color] He heard Sil hummed aloud.

[color=00aeef][i]Sil...[/i][/color] Chres thought hesitantly to his familiar.

Sil looked from Lynx to Chres, to Ferris and then Octavio. She finally settled her gaze back on Lynx. Clasping her hands behind her back, she leaned forward and smiled. 

[color=a2d39c]"Okay."[/color] She said happily.
 
[color=00aeef][i]Okay?![/i][/color] Chres thought, raising his eyebrows in surprise.

[color=a2d39c]"No more pulling on Mr. Lynx's tail."[/color] She said fluttering off to go perch herself on Chres's shoulder.

Chres looked to his familiar, impressed. [color=00aeef]"Well, well."[/color] Chres said. [color=00aeef]"I'm proud of you, Sil."[/color]

[color=a2d39c]"He wants to be treated equally,"[/color] She said with a shrug. [color=a2d39c]"and I don't have a tail for him to tug on." [/color]

Sil leaned back, relaxing on Chres's shoulder. Suddenly she tilted her head to the side as if remembering something. She transformed into her ferret form. [color=a2d39c]"Wait a second..."[/color] She said, looking to her tail.

[color=00aeef]"My appolgies Lynx!"[/color] Chres said suddenly, and loudly. [color=00aeef]"It was wrong of us to treat you as anything less then a person. Isn't that right, Sil?"[/color] Chres growled out the last sentence.

[color=a2d39c]"Hm?"[/color] Sil said, distracted from her prior line of thinking. She looked to Chres, transforming back into her fairy form.

[color=00aeef]"Lynx wishes to be treated equally."[/color] Chres said firmly. [color=00aeef]"Treat him like you would me."[/color]

[color=slategray][b]"Unseemly."[/b][/color] Spat a voice from above. [color=slategray][b]"A proper Familiar should know it's place!"[/b][/color]
 
Chres looked up. Perched on the roof above them, was a vulture that gave off a dull silver glow. A familiar, no doubt. The bird stared down at the group as if dissecting them. No... judging them.
 
The bird fluttered down, landing onto a nearby post. It gave Lynx a look of disgust. [color=slategray][b]"You're a disgrace. Nothing more than a pampered cat."[/b][/color] The Familiar snapped. [color=slategray][b]"You [i]are[/i] no equal."[/b][/color]

Suddenly Sil spoke up. [color=a2d39c]"He's not a disgrace!"[/color] She protested. [color=a2d39c]"He's a lynx! A lynx of... of dis... disting..."[/color]

[color=00aeef]"Distinguished?"[/color] Chres suggested.

[color=a2d39c]"Yeah! That's it!"[/color] Sil said. [color=a2d39c]"A lynx of distinguished origin! -Whatever that means- And what are you supposed to be? An ugly chicken?"[/color] Sil looked over to Lynx. Winking and giving him a thumbs up. 

[color=slategray][b]"Call me what you'd like."[/b][/color] The vulture said with a sniff. [color=slategray][b]"I care not."[/b][/color]

Chres narrowed his eyes. His hand absently fingered his dagger. He didn't like the attitude of this familiar. [color=00aeef]"Who are you?"[/color] He said coldly.

[color=slategray][b]"Not that it matters,"[/b][/color] The bird drawled. [color=slategray][b]"but you may call me Talon."[/b][/color] He clenched his own talons, as if to emphasize the name.
 
[color=slategray][b]"Humorous, I know. But it's a far more original name than the one belonging to that beast over there."[/b][/color] Talon said condescendingly. It nodded off in Lynx's direction.
