[Mirror Gardens]

When the lion boy backed off, thankfully leaving her arm intact as he did so, Red released the other man’s blade and moved away. These people were becoming more trouble than they were worth. Returning her dagger to its proper place in her belt, she turned to head to the village again when she heard the lion’s rumblings once again. Letting out a small sigh, she turned to face the beast that had come to sit beside her while she let Sasha translate what he said. “I doubt you have any gold hidden in that fur of yours, and 100 gold is hardly worth my time…But since I currently have no job lined up at the moment, I suppose you may tag along. But if I find you have no gold, I will have no qualms letting Sasha eat you.”

Yum…cat food.

Turning to head towards the village again, she suddenly heard the appearance of yet another voice. She could feel her patience ebbing away. At this rate she would never get out of the forest.

Great I smell more cat.

While she didn’t have any particular distaste for cats, she could not help but share in the annoyance that seeped out of her stuffed companion. Either way, she was tired of being delayed and decided to ignore all of them and began towards her destination once again. If the beast followed her fine, she had already accepted the job, now it was his choice to follow.
