Cearúil Cearúil watches the black panther and snow leopard from high up in a tree. A small smile plays across his lips as he watches the female panther, he knew the panther was female and the leopard was male from their scent trails he had picked up earlier while in tiger form, push the male leopard out of the way when he had stepped in front of her. Chuckling softly, he watches as the male lowers his head and rubs against the panther's side then hiss in Cearúil direction. He thinks about jumping down to confront them, but is interested in seeing how the panther handles the situation. Moving his knapsack over to the side and quietly gets into a better position to watch them from. As he waits for the panther to react, he briefly recalls what had brought him here. Cearúil had left Midland and head toward Kuran. He was taking a break from bounty hunting and was doing some traveling. Stopping briefly in Loden, he had hear about a young man who was searching for his parents. Asking around, he learned some of the details about the young man and his parents. He grins to himself, his size comes in handy from time to time. He learned what he could and headed out in the direction that the young man had. It took a few days but Cearúil eventually picked up the man's trail. He followed him through the mountains but briefly lost his trail. When he found him again, he was heading to the fae performance with the panther, so he bide his time. When they left the performance, Cearúil had carefully circled around them. He found a tree that gave him a good advantage point and climbed upped it and waited for them. So here he was, waiting patiently to make his move. He didn't mean either one of them any harm, in fact he had information that could help the young leopard, but he liked to hold his cards close to his chest.

Raven smiles to herself as she found such ease in pushing Aaron aside. It wasn't his place to protect her, nor was it any man's at the moment, and she doubted it ever would be. Her ears perked at the chuckle as she breathed in the scent once again, and she looked up, while Aaron hissed.
She spotted a man, high in a tree, watching them. She went to ask him what his purpose was when she roared at him, forgetting she was in beastial form. She wasn't sure if he knew she was therian as well and didn't want to make it obvious. Her roar wasn't threatening, just noting his presence.

Cearúil Cearúil grins down at the panther when she roars up at him. Grabbing his knapsack, he begins to climb down the tree to greet them. With about five feet left to go, he jumps down and lands in front of them. Bowing low, he raises with a grin and says, "Greetings." Aaron Aaron looks at Raven when she roars and he eyes shift up to the tree. He notices a large man high up in the tree, and watches as the man makes his way down. Stepping closer to Raven, Aaron is careful not to step in front of her, he hisses at the man as he jumps down and bows. Glaring at the man, he flashes his teeth and moves closer to Raven, until his side touches hers'. He couches down a little as he eyes the newcomer.

Raven drops her knapsack, it becomming unconfortable in her mouth, (ooc: she had it by the straps so it was possible for her to roar w/ it in her mouth..IC:) and watched as the man made his way to the ground before them. She watched as he bowed low. He must know we are therians, she thought. She thought about changing, but decided not to just yet. She wanted to wait and see what this male did. She kept her guard, for herself as well as Aaron. He was a good toy for now and she didn't want to loose him so soon.

Cearúil Cearúil reaches into his knapsack and pulls out the young leopards clothes. He tosses them toward the leopard and they land neatly before him. Throwing his knapsack over his shoulder he turns and faces the panther. Even though his information was for the leopard, he addressed the panther because she was the more dominate of the two. "I would like to speak with the two of you." He glances in the direction of the small town as he continues, "Let my treat you both to a pint of mead as we talk." In a relaxed stance, he waits for an answer from the panther. Aaron Aaron tenses and his claws come out as the man reaches into his knapsack, but he doesn't make any move to attack. Instead he glances at Raven for any sign the he should act. His eyes shift back to the man as he pulls out Aaron's clothes. Aaron hiss softly as the man tosses his clothes toward him. Listening to the man talk, Aaron doesn't relax any because he didn't trust this man. He was interested in what he had to say but wasn't comfortable talking with him by himself. Something about the man screamed danger, even though he was standing there relaxed. He glances at Raven again and leaves the decision up to her.

Raven tenses slightly as the man reaches into his bag, but it's not vary noticible. Her paws gripped the ground, readying her to crouch and pounce then bite, rip and tear, if need be. When the man pulled out Aaron's clothes, she paused, wondering how on earth he knew they were his, as she watched him toss them to the leopard beside her. She had her guard up all night, she thought. She looked over the man for a few minutes. He was quite tall and muscular. She couldn't exactly put her paw on it, but something about him... Somehthing made her curious. She allowed the change to begin slowly and once she was in hybrid state, she stood before him and spoke. "What's this? It's a bit late. It will have to wait until tomorrow. Meet us in the tavern. In the private room. Bring nothing with you but what you must say. Until then be on your way." She stood with a relaxed posture, but knew she could do some dammage if she needed to. It could even be fun if she did, she thought to herself.

Cearúil Cearúil makes a sweeping bow before he nods to the panther. Grinning, he says, "Of course. I look forward to talking with you both tomorrow." He turns and walks away, blending into the shadows until it seems as if he disappeared. He makes his way toward a small cave he seen a few miles back. Once he was a good distance away from them, he steps behind some bushes and removes his clothes. Putting his clothes into his knapsack, he pulls out a special harass and secures it to his chest and back. It was specially made for his sword so he could carry it in tiger form. The straps stretched enough to accommodate him in tiger form. He had to be careful when he wore this though. He had to stay in the shadows and make sure no humans seen him. Once everything was in place, he lets the change come over him. His change was quick, he had yet to met anyone who could change from human to animal form or animal to human form, faster then he could. Though he had heard of people from an island who could change between all three forms as much as they wanted to and very quickly. Aaron Aaron takes his cue from Raven and changes into his hybrid form. He keeps quiet as the man talks then turns and leaves. Watching as the man melts into the shadows, Aaron feels even more suspicion of the man. Moving closer to Raven, he turns to her and says, "Thanks for handling that, I'm interested in hearing what he has to say but don't feel comfortable around him. He seems, I don't know, dangerous to me." His eyes quickly move over her body and he asks, "Um, now what should we do?"

Raven watches as the man leaves before turning to Aaron to answer his question. "Like I said. It's getting late. Is there anything else you would like to do tonight before we start business tomorrow? And do you have a room for the night?"

Cearúil Cearúil moves through the trees quietly as his weaves his way through the woods. Even the knapsack he carried in his mouth didn't make any noise, he was one with the night. By the time he reached the cave, he was panting hard and exhausted. That was one of the big draw backs to being a tiger, he had low stamina. He worked hard at building up his stamina, and had improved it somewhat, but there was only so much he could do. It was one of the limitations of the tigers and he couldn't change that. After making sure no humans/therian/fae or animals where in the cave, he changes back to human form. Putting his clothes back on, he gathers some wood and builds a small fire. Using his knapsack as a pillow, he lays down by the fire and goes to sleep. ((OOC:Cearúil Moreau Hunter will continue in Mountian Side Tavern and Inn)) Aaron At Raven's words, so many thoughts ran through Aaron's head. He flashes back to what happened at the waterfall, the feeling of her bare skin against his. Swallowing hard, he glances down at the ground and says, "Um, there is nothing that I can think of and, um, no I don't have a room for the night."

Arya watched him carefully as he looked to the ground. She grinned. "Well then, I suppose you can board up w/ me tonight. I have two cots so there's plenty of room." Picking up her sack she gestured towards the villiage, "shall we?"

Aaron Aaron's eyes fly up to Raven's as she said he could stay with her. His heart beat faster and his mouth went dry. How was he suppose to make it through the whole night knowing she is in the same room as he is. Trying a few times to speak, he clears his throat and says, "Um.... that is...... a great..... um..... offer and ....um and thank you for..... um .....letting me ......um stay with ....... you." Picking up her sack she gestured toward the village, "Shall we?" Aaron nods a bit to quickly as he follows close behind her.

Arya tries her hardest not to laugh and is surprised by her selfcontrol. She'd made many men speachless but it was humorous to her. She simple smiled at him and led the way back to the tavern and inn.
