In other news, I'm working on a rough sketch of Kat. Here's what I've got so far. Please ignore the shitty image quality, and shitty anatomy, and shitty… well, everything. OTL
Anyway it's far from done, and I still have a lot of stuff to fix, but here you go.

I think Kat's had enough interaction until the morning… that is, unless someone wants to venture out into the forest for a chat XD
I'll keep an eye on the thread, but I'm probably done posting until something plot-relevant happens.

Place holder for my CS. Also, in spite of my current inactivity, I might be able to help co-GM.
Kat's lips quirked into a smile as she watched Ehluria walk deeper into the forest. "She's one of the few I don't immediately hate," she said, still rubbing Hel's head. The snow leopard just gave another huff. Kat turned her eyes towards him again and playfully nudged him, smile growing.
"You find that spring we were talking about?" she asked conversationally. "I wanna get a bath in before I venture off to my death." Hel paused at that and leveled a glare at her. Honestly, what had the girl gotten herself into this time? "Oh relax," she said, "if things get too crazy, we're gone." Hel knelt down and Kat swung herself onto his back, the motions coming surprisingly easy to a girl with one arm. The two began heading towards the hot spring Hel had found as he was waiting for Kat to finish her meeting in the town. "Some fool's errand… we're meant to take down a dragon, of all things." Hel's tail twitched in irritation (anxiousness? It was hard for Kat to tell, even after all this time) at the news, and Kat could already imagine the glare he wanted to send her way for signing up for such a dangerous quest.
"Anyway, we leave tomorrow at noon," she continued. "I wanna stop by the apothecary and get some things, along with a new whetstone." Though really, Kat didn't know why she even bothered sharpening her blades; she was getting pretty good at throwing them, and they were useful for stabbing and slashing, but without Hel she was more or less useless in combat. "Heck, maybe I'll even get some decent armor."
She smirked then and leaned down, bringing her face close to the top of Hel's head. "You're gonna love our new buddies, I already know it," she said, a sarcastic edge creeping into her tone. "Some humans, some elves, a goblin, a dwarf, some weird dog man…" she listed on her fingers. "Oh yeah, we're all gonna be best friends." Kat rambled on, talking about their companions, the quest, the inanity of it all, and all the while Hel listened in silence, plodding through the forest. The two would locate the spring, and then find somewhere safe to hunker down for the night – though, with a massive predator like Hel, most places were safe due to any other beasts giving them a wide berth.
And then with morning would come the start of their new adventure.

Kat raised an eyebrow, impressed at Ehluria's composure in the face of Hel. The great cat's growling quieted at the stranger's clear act of submission, but his muscles never relaxed. He lifted a heavy paw and crept forward, tail still curled around Kat. Eyes narrowed, Hel sniffed at Ehluria again, still wary of her scent. She smelt of forest creatures, far more than any human should. It was perplexing, but at least the animals lingering in her scent were of the smaller variety – they usually knew their place.
Hel gave a huff, ruffling Ehluria's hair, and turned back to Kat. He would watch this human. If Kat's scent was anything to go by, then Ehluria wouldn't be the oddest stranger he'd have to look out for.
Kat observed the interaction in silence, the tense night air weighing down around her. At Hel's dismissal of the other woman, Kat felt her body relaxing. "Well, he doesn't trust you, but that's not saying much," she said, shattering the quiet. Hel just gave another huff, but didn't move from his position – conveniently placed between the stranger and his human. Kat rolled her eyes and lifted her hand to rest on Hel's head, gently stroking him between his ears. "I doubt everyone else will be as polite as you. Or as calm." Her mouth turned up into a smirk as she imagined the others seeing the great beast. Beggar boy would probably throw a fit.
She looked back up at Ehluria again and said, "Should be a fun meeting tomorrow."

Interested
Kat looked up at Ehluria out of the corner of her eye and smirked. Turning back to where she knew Hel was lurking in the forest, she gave the smallest nod she could manage. They were far enough away from the town now, she decided. The streets behind them were bare, so there was little chance of anyone raising an alarm so long as they didn't kick up too much noise.
At Kat's signal, a massive snow leopard, easily twice as big as it should've been, launched itself out from the tree cover and landed in front of the two humans. Razor fangs bared, as long and sharp as the daggers Kat carried, Hel gave a rumbling growl as he took in the stranger.
"Hel, Ehluria," Kat introduced, voice raised over the sounds of the beast's warning. "Ehluria, overdramatic sourpuss." Hel's growl hitched up a notch at Kat's words and his glare temporarily turned to her. Kat just rolled her eyes and walked forward, placing herself between Ehluria and Hel. "I'm fine, I'm safe, I made friends," she drawled as the snow leopard's growls quieted. Hel gave one last warning look to Ehluria and then proceeded to sniff at Kat, verifying what she said was true. He gave her a look at the scents he was picking up – surprised at the foreign smells of the elves and goblin, no doubt – and wasn't satisfied until Kat huffed and pushed his large snout away from her head.
Having decided that Katelia was indeed intact – more or less – he turned his attention to the other woman again. Leveling a glare at her, he curled his tail around Kat's leg in a clear sign of protection. Ears pressed against his skull, Hel sniffed the air around Ehluria and paused. Head tilted, he sniffed again, and looked into Ehluria's eyes. Something… did not seem right with this human. She was not as she appeared. A low rumble started in the back of his throat again as he watched her.
Kat glanced between Ehluria and Hel. Yes, he was overprotective and excessive, but a warning from Hel was usually best observed. After all, she still knew nothing aside from this woman other than her name. With this in mind, Kat was careful to keep her stance relaxed and face neutral. "Honestly," she said, "what is it now?"

No. All the homo. All of it.
"My 'friend' doesn't like towns," Kat replied. "And they tend not to like him." A little smile tugged at her mouth as she remembered the last time Hel had even attempted to follow after her into a village. It didn't go well. "I told him I'd be back within an hour, but the big lug worries too much." Kat reached into her pocket where she had stored her silver and fiddled with the coins. She considered hunting the town for provisions, but any reasonable shops would be closed by this hour. She almost went looking anyway, just to draw out Hel's patience.
"Kat, by the way," she said, bringing her attention back to the woman next to her. "Suppose you might as well know my name if we're going to be stuck together for the remainder of our lives." Her voice carried a tone of wry humor as she thought about the ridiculous 'mission' they'd signed up for. "What about you, didn't feel like shacking up with the rest?" Kat asked as they got closer to the forest. She saw a glint between the trees and knew it was Hel watching from the shadows. The great predator was hidden, eyes trained on Kat and the stranger next to her, ready to pounce if he thought his human was in any danger.
Kat gave a discrete shake of her head and was careful to keep her posture as relaxed as possible. Honestly, Hel was the worst sort of worrier she'd ever met. She doubted the rest of her traveling party would take very kindly to a giant snow leopard mauling one of their members before they'd even set out.
"Just a warning," Kat said, voice low, "you're about to meet my friend. He doesn't take too kindly to strangers."

The taller woman's words made Kat pause before she stepped through the door. Turning her pale eyes to fully take in the person who had spoken to her, Kat raised an eyebrow. The woman was at least half a foot taller than her, and wickedly beautiful – she had fierce blue eyes above a veil that covered the lower half of her face and an enviable body that she didn't bother to hide from the world, even in the chilly night air. Kat didn't know how this stranger figured out she had a… traveling companion, but perhaps this band of misfits wasn't as hopeless as she thought.
Tilting her head to the side and letting the corner of her mouth twitch up into a smirk, she replied, "Not at all. He's especially fond of rabbits – he loves them as a light snack between his meals." Kat glanced back over her shoulder at the various people still floating around the tavern. Some, like the wolf and one of the elves, had decided to retire for the night, while others, like the beggar, were attempting to make conversation. She certainly had landed herself with an odd group, hadn't she?
Kat turned back to the woman in front of her. "What, got a pet you're worried about?"
