Two turquoise orbs peered out from the relative safety of the bushes. She spied her target, those beautiful optics focussing and refocussing on the faintest movement of her prey. Suddenly, with the lightening quick reflexes of the hunter born, she sprung loose from her hiding spot, her muscles uncoiling in a superhuman burst of feline energy...
Talia yelped in surprise, and looked down to see her newest tiny spirit companion clinging to her leg. She laughed, and gently pried away the young lynx-like creature from her leg, setting her down gently upon the earth. Cheylli made a small squeak of protest, having been removed so easily from her potential victim. Talia simply giggled and mussed the spirit's fur, and laughed all the more when Cheylli playfully nipped her fingertips.
She sat her down and admired her cat-like companion. Cheylli seemed oblivious, and preened herself, her momentary viciousness forgotten in a sudden need to look "presentable." Talia shook her head and moved away to check on her other creatures, smiling softly when Cheylli took to flight above her, keeping an ever watchful eye on her keeper. |
