Clovis noticed her interest in the paper, he wondered, not for the first time, if she truly understood what they were saying . Then again there could be a magic pull from the mark . It struck him a bit just how little he knew about the magic that bound his familiar to his side . Perhaps it was time to learn a bit more .
"Come sit . You can look over the contract and then sign it, then we will begin discussing the party . " The Emperor added uncovering the ink that his servant had ground shortly beforehand . Clovis took his seat beside the emperor and read over the paper . Kyera looked over the edge, trying to catch a glimpse of it . The Emperor chuckled at her brazen nature .
Advertisement'Don't get so close to the table, kyera . ' Rasha warned her softly, his rumbling voice much better suited to Feline speak . She looked over at the dark furred lion and sighed . She knew he was right . There was no reason to get herself in trouble . With a soft sigh, she stepped back and walked to Rasha, nodding at him before laying down a bit crestfallen . Rasha moved over, giving her a space near himself . This way her back was to the wall but she could still see everything without being in a corner .
'Thanks Rasha . How's the wound?' kyera purred softly, distracting herself from the Prince and Emperor . If she didn't she was going to want to try and sneak the contract and she knew it .
'Well enough, how are you handling life in the palace?' Rasha countered with a lazy yawn . He settled back into a sprawled out pose . Kyera chose to keep her dignity in tact, sitting straight and tall .
'Alright . I can't quite manage the sleeping inside thing yet . ' Her grumbling reply was met by a teasing smirk .
"I see someone is taking well to grooming at least . " Rasha teased motioning to the dangle bit beside her ear . The Blue stones standing out against her black striped ears . Kyera shot him a death glare, before turning to look at the table . A soft burning came from the mark on her chest, like something was being etched into her flesh . She looked in time to see Clovis setting the brush back on the table . The contract being folded and placed in his tunic .
That earned a peek of interest . As long as he took it home, Kyera could convince him to show it to her . Perhaps she could steal it . If he left it on a table or forgot it was in his tunic when they got ready for bed that eve . A few other possible plans went through her mind and Clovis and his father began to talk .
Kyera didn't pay them much attention . Her mind was still on the howl . 'Had there been a response yet? Did it work during the day? Thinking back she never heard howling in the daylight . Was there a magic too it that was activated by night time? Was she overthinking this? Probably . ' she admitted to herself, growling in frustration . Rashan turned and looked at her raising his brows, body language hinting she had done something wrong .
'Do you realize how aggressive that sounded?' he asked sitting up and glancing pointedly at the humans . Kyera looked to see both Emperor and Prince staring at her . Both seemed alarmed and confused as their new family member sounded as though she was about to destroy something . They were both slightly relaxed by Rashan's indifference to her outburst .
Kyera stood and walked to Clovis, deliberately seeming sulky rather than angry . She bumped her head into his thigh . Clovis sighed stroking her hair . "I will have to learn you as we go . " he chuckled . She laid down by him, her head on his thigh . Her sad sigh came from her heart, and they say heart speaks to heart… and he felt her pain .
The Emperor sighed watching carefully . "Perhaps you and Moon should go out and see how the pair of you get along in the forest before the trials . " he offered, recognizing a sense of homesickness on the tiger's face . Rashan had been similar in the way he yearned for the forest, long after they were here .
