[QUOTE="Richards, post: 2539938, member: 508"] Shaellin slunk through the underbrush, his coloration blending him into his surroundings.[b][2][/b] He smelled a squirrel up ahead and, still hungry after his aborted attempt at the wood elves' pot of fish stew, was ready for a good meal. Creeping quietly through the forest undergrowth,[b][3][/b] he approached his prey with unnatural stealth. The squirrel sat contentedly munching on a nut, oblivious to the elven cat's sleek and silent approach. Shaellin slunk forward, low to the ground, closing the gap on his prey. A sudden twig snap broke the silence of the moment. The squirrel, as easily panicked as all members of its race, dropped the nut and sprinted up the nearest tree. Shaellin momentarily considered chasing it,[b][4][/b] but curiosity got the better of him and he decided to check out what caused the twig to snap instead. Slinking off into the direction from which the noise came, Shaellin prepared himself for combat with whatever threat to his territory the broken twig might forebode.[b][5][/b] Seeing the twig-breaking culprit, Shaellin let out a quiet snort, sheathed his claws and ran over to allow the wood elf to pet him. "Sloppy," commented the cat, rubbing up against the elf's leg. "And good morning to you as well," remarked Gandlebain wryly, setting down the bundle of sticks he had gathered and bending over to stroke the cat's fur. Shaellin purred in contentment, arching his back to align the parts he wanted scratched with the elf's hand. "Well, enough of that," said Gandlebain finally, straightening back up and gathering his bundle of sticks. "I've got work to do. Can't spend all day with the likes of you." Disappointed that the petting session was over and Gandlebain was moving off, Shaellin tried drawing him into a conversation, hoping that maybe he'd pick up where he left off on the cat-stroking. "Some elf!" he cajoled. "Noisy, noisy." Gandlebain kept walking, but called back over his shoulder, "That bad, huh?" "Heard miles away. Monsters come running." "Well, then it's a good thing I've got you here to protect me, isn't it?"[b][6][/b] called Gandlebain, and disappeared out of sight towards the elf encampment. Shaellin just huffed and went deeper into the woods to patrol his territory. [/QUOTE]
