Felix ducked through a patch of flowers, shaking his fur when he got to the other side. He trotted up to the girl and bowed his head in greeting. Not many shifters do this these days, so he's heard, but he was raised to be a princely character. And it was especially recommended to greet females this way. He new that he'd been away from home for quite a while, and he didn't have to be very formal, but old habits do indeed die hard.
Aramis bowed her head as well and smiled, “Theres no need to be formal, you know.” She said gently.
"If I had a rabbit for every time I heard that, I'd never have to go hunting again." Felix said. He went human and sat on the ground, holding out his hand. "My name is Felix D'var."
She shook her hand, “Aramis Utarian, it’s nice to meet another shifter, finally.”
(^u^)
"Indeed. So, mind if I ask what type of character you're going for?" Felix asked, sitting back on his hands.
Aramis shrugged, “Companion, the only thing I’m good for, really. What about you?”
"Hm. I was raised to be the prince of my territory, but leading has never really been my thing. So, I'm going for a more 'fantasy hero' type." Felix tilted his head a bit. "And I highly doubt that you're only good for a companion."
“I really am only good for it, trust me. I’ve never been one to be able to lead or be the hero… following and helping when needed is what I’ve been taught to do, and that’s it.” Aramis shrugged one shoulder.
A dark robed figure swept down the road. As she passed by the houses, each lit window suddenly went dark. She made a sharp turn, her destination drawing closer now. There is was. The Crystal Eye Tavern. She blew the door open with a powerful burst of magic. The people scattered to the outsides of the room, terrified. Evalencia smirked. She never got tired of making people cower. Speaking of, she paced over to the counter to speak to the haggard old bartender.
"Tell me, Xolf," she said coldly, "have you found a way in yet?"
"N-N-Not yet… Not yet, Mistress."
"Truly, I say. Next time, I will not be as forgiving!" She slammed her fist on the counter, making the old man jump. "I must figure out how to get into Story again…" She turned on her heel and paced back to the door. A young boy was huddled in a corner with his family. Evalencia smirked. She grabbed the air in front of her and twisted it, like she was grabbing the front of his shirt. Shadows cast by the moon on his shirt moved to mimic her movement. She yanked him towards her. His mother whimpered. When the child was close enough, she smiled down at him. "Do you know who I am?"
"You're the Mistress of Evil," the boy answered.
"Of course. How do you know that?"
"My parents told me."
"Ah. Well, you have very good parents." She smirked. She released him and the shadows to their previous positions. With a laugh, the tavern behind her filled with black smoke so no one could see her escape into the night…
(Ooooft, dramatic! I applaud you claps)
(noice)
Felix hummed, shaking his head slightly. She was right in a sense - cats, usually not Big Cats, tended to be for companionship characters more than 'main characters'. But he wondered. "Don't you have any weapons? Special attributes other than those granted by your natural form?"
(Ooooft, dramatic! I applaud you claps)
(Thank you! I've never rped as a fantasy villain before, so I'll probably screw something up now and then! thumbs up)
(you're doing freakin great so far giant foam thumbs up)
She shook her head, “No, I don’t. I’m pretty much useless about from fighting abilities in my other form.”
"Well, if you truly believe that." Felix sighed. "But I'm sure you have something in you. May I ask what kind of character you're supposed to be a companion for?"
“I’m not entirely sure. A hero, most likely.” Aramis said, looking down at her lap.
Oof, night~!//
Athena spit out stray feathers that were still in his mouth, “I’m fine, but geez, ya gotta be more careful with those!” Athena remarked. He got up and frowned at his now soiled lollipop, tossing it into a nearby trash.
Bren hastily nodded. "I know, I know, I'm told that all the time. I'm sorry about your lollipop!"
