[color=8882be][b][h3]Zelginn[/h3] [/b][/color] To navigate through all the tall folks at the ball was no easy feat for one so short, Zelginn found himself however determined to get back to the food table. His sniffing skills were however of little use here with all the rich perfume, sweat and other various scents got in the way. Then he saw him. A man who carried himself with such grace, his movements so smooth and his attire really formal. But more importantly he carried food with him. It was a waiter. Zelginn quickly licked his lips and began to advance, there was nothing that could stop him from ambushing this walking feast. Or so he thought. From above came a hand, and then another hand and the fingers latched unto his face. The fur clad little boy gasped and struggled, looking up to what manner of lout was getting in his way. It was a woman, an older one. No.. there were a couple. But this one had grabbed unto his cheek and was squeezing it. [color=f6989d]"Aww! What a cute little boy! How did you get in here?"[/color] The woman said while pinching his cheek with her fingers, and soon enough her associates, which were three other women all placed their hands on him, one lifted him by the back of his collar, another one grabbed his other cheek and the last was toying with his ears. [color=8882be][b]"Hey! Let go off- Stop that! Let me dow- That's my ear, keep your overgrown greasy fingers off my-"[/b][/color] His voice was muffled as one of them was hugging his smaller frame. [b][color=ed1c24]'I will devour you, I will feast on your souls!'[/color][/b] The boy thought in a much darker tone, before he finally saw a glimse of hope when a pigfaced man and his duck-looking dancepartner tried to speak to one of the women. [b][color=8882be]"Here's my chance!"[/color][/b] He said aloud and did a brief jump, leaping out of the grasp of the women and into the crowd, but he did spot the waiter in the distance. [b][color=ed1c24]'Where is he? I can smell it! He's over there!'[/color][/b] The small figure chased after the scent of meat, and such a sweet smell it was, it was getting closer and his mouth was beginning to water and then he saw the waiter. The man had put the food down close to some kind of odd looking big woman with white fur. [b][color=8882be]"No way! Sto-"[/color][/b] Zelginn gathered his voice and was about to yell when someone bumped into him and he lost his voice, taking a moment to catch himself he then laid his eyes on something horrible. The creature, whatever it was was feasting on HIS food! It was eating the meat which he had hunted, the realization that he had lost his food to this woman made him so angry he had to breathe in and out really quickly. [i][color=8882be]'What a glutton...you big oaf...you thief...'[/color][/i] He was feeling all warm and almost boiling, this was unbearable. He had to get some of that meat, it had to be liberated from her greedy claws. But then the woman had even given parts of it away to another overgrown figure, to add salt to the injury which the small figure was feeling. [i][color=ed1c24]'Well, If I cannot eat that meat, I am going to eat you later.'[/color][/i] The fox-boy looked on with a stern and annoyed glance, trying his best to contain his temper.
