ooc- welcome to my life, Larry

ic- Liam

Liam peered upwards with a thoughtful expression and tapped his chin. "I would not suggest using a trree, because most of the trrees arre out of rrange of the prrotection spell. You may use my bed, if you wish to rrest, Vincent. When you enterr the cabin and face the hearrth, it is the closed doorr on the rright side. The otherr doorr is locked, so it should not be too difficult to find." He smiled amiably at Vincent before turning his attention back to the very confused Larry. Chuckling softly in a rich, husky voice he replied, "I doubt they want to eat Sabbiel. Deserrt cats arre rratherr tough to eat, I am surre. And Sabbiel would not put up with being eaten without a fight."

He continued to chuckle for a moment longer before speaking again. "As forr all the cats... I rreally have no contrrol overr them. If I did, Chisa would not be allowed to behave as she does. I only trreat them as they should be trreated, although not always how they would like to be trreated, if you know what I mean," he added humourously. "Many I found in differrent situations, hurrt, orr lost, orr abandoned. They arre frree to come and go as they please. Some have merrely appearred, somehow finding theirr way herre." The tall man shrugged his shoulders elegantly. "I suppose the cats tell each otherr about this place... I merrely have, how do you say, an affinity with cats, and cat-like beings. They do not have to do as I ask, but they generrally do." Liam hastened to add, "Sabbiel is verry loyal. I trrust him to complete this task, do not worrry."

He bent over and placed Neomea gently on the ground. Wriggling his fingers under Sabbiel's chin, the tall man lithely began walking to the edge of the clearing, in the direction that the other group would be in. After twitching his ringed tail a few times, Sabbiel sauntered off after the strange aristocrat. Where the trees began to thicken and draw closer together again, Liam crouched down and bent towards Sabbiel. Lifting up a hand to shield his mouth, the man whispered something into one of the cat's large ears. The other ear twitched forward and back every once in awhile, as if he could understand what Liam was murmuring to him. After a few moments Liam stood up and the stocky creature disappeared into the forest depths.

The tall blonde stared off into the jungle for a minute before turning back around and weaving his way back to his party. "Beforre we rretirre, would you all enjoy some stew?" Liam asked everyone affably. "Unforrtunately, I do not believe I have enough to feed you, my larrge frriend," he said appologetically to Arcades.

For Vincent [img]smile.gif[/img] A description of the bedroom (if you choose to join the group to eat or not is your own decision):

Opening the right-hand door reveals a medium sized room. Comfortable and tidy to an extent, the room contains a bed made of carved mahogany that takes up almost the entire left wall of the room, in order to accomodate for its owner's height. Carved to resemble woodlands and forest creatures, the bed has a comfortable looking mattress and some blankets and down pillows on it. The quilt on top has a fierce pouncing tiger embroidered on it, with a strange castle in the background.

Against the far wall is a matching desk with some blank parchment, ink and quill pens. To the right is a bookcase/cupboard. A few old leather-bound books line the shelves, and the cupboard is locked. It most likely contains clothing. The front of the cupboard is designed to look like a huge cat's face, with the opening down the middle of the visage.

On the near wall is a small hearth, which probably connects with the chimney from the kitchen. An overstuffed red velvet chair is placed in front of it. The chair is obviously well loved, because some of the velvet has begun to wear away in places. The pregnant cat that had been lying on the hearth in the kitchen follows you in and makes herself comfortable on the armchair.

The walls of the room are made of smooth wood, like the kitchen. Covering them are a few strange tapestries here and there. One, hanging next to the desk, resembles the quilt on the bed. Another, hanging above the mantel of the fireplace, depicts a family of tigers. Off to the side is a group of humans that look sinister, one wearing a crown. The tigers seem oblivious of the humans, and are surrounded by other cats, all of them playing and doing cat-like things. All the tapestries are becoming old and faded.


ooc- hope the description is okay [img]smile.gif[/img]
