Vaspira stared at Xi examining his facial and body expressions as he talked about his personal agenda with slavers. It obviously went deeper than pure duty alone, this struck her curiosity. She saw in his eyes anger along with deep hidden pain, she started to question him, but closed her mouth before she let it out. She did not want to bring up memories to this man, that he wanted to leave dead. Vaspira heard something in the distance, she put her hair behind her ear to listen carefully, her heightened sense of hearing picking up something or someone approaching. It could be danger or it could be a animal she wasn't sure just yet, it was too far away. She placed her small cold finger on Xi's lips to silence him Shh.. listen.. there is something or someone out there and they are approaching. It could be nothing but it could be danger. Vaspira stood up and handed him his cloak, then she shifted to her Kelvic form.
Vaspira found a tree and climbed it until she was 20 feet above ground, laying on a limb looking down around them waiting for what ever she heard to show its self. She purred happily in anticipation as she waited. Glancing at Xi making sure he was alright, then directing her full attention on what ever may come. Her tail swished from side to side, she was ready to play with danger if that is what was to come out of the bushes. But as she listened closer, it sounded more animal than human, and this saddened Vaspira, she was ready to play wit danger. She leapt head first from the tree, and landed on all fours and sat where Xi was waiting for what ever mammal was about to come towards them. She wanted to tell Xi it was alright, but she was warm and cozy in her Kelvic form, so she just purred trying to let him know that danger did not approach. Hoping he would get the hint of her purring.
Then a Tufted deer was visibly in the bushes, Vaspira's eyes zoomed in on it and it was munching away at some greenery it seemed to have found. She looked up at Xi and pawed his leg to get his attention, then stared off towards the deer to let him know that was all it was. She waited for Xi to make the first move, interested in seeing him display his muscleness anyways she would sit back and watch him take down the deer. It was never a bad idea to get the strengths and weaknesses of others, whether they be friend or foe.
