[QUOTE="Richards, post: 2539943, member: 508"] After a full morning's wandering over his designated area, Shaellin had found nothing more dangerous than a rabbit, which he promptly chased down, and, through the power invested in him as Defender of the Noble Protectorate of Shaellin the Elven Cat Extraordinaire, immediately found guilty of criminal trespass. The sentence was harsh, but just: the death penalty, thereafter to serve as the aforementioned Defender's lunch. Licking himself clean after his meal,[b][7][/b] Shaellin came to a sad realization: although he had enjoyed both the chase and the rabbit itself, he still had a hankering for fish. Leave it to Carilysha to shoo him away from the stew pot! She obviously didn't understand that one simply doesn't shoo away a Noble Defender such as himself, nor did she apparently realize that a few bites of fish stew was a small price to pay for the cat's extraordinary services. Elves! You'd think they'd pass on some of their wisdom to their children, like elven cats did![b][8][/b] The taste of fish was taunting him now. He could sneak back to the elf encampment, maybe grab a few more surreptitious bites - but no, he was above that! He'd take a cool dip in the stream[b][9][/b] and get his own blasted fish, that'd show that little elf maid! And maybe after getting a fish, a really big fish, he'd take it back to the camp and let Carilysha see just how big a fish he had, and she'd ask if she could have it, and he'd say no, and eat it there in front of her. Ha! That'd show her! Suitably impressed with his plan, Shaellin headed for the stream. [/QUOTE]
