To say Shyvana was upset would be a great understatement. The once tiny dragonling was more than just upset, it was silently seething! A small pout firmly placed on the pale purple dragoness' kind face as fierce golden orbs kept darting between the smiling visage of her beloved dear trainer and the small unknown furball sitting beside her dear Quinn devouring everything edible placed in its sight.
Shyvana had no idea where the unknown scarlet ball of fur had come out of and her owner might have said something about it before, but the irritated enormous dragonling had been far too busy growling and baring its teeth at the poor little cat to pay attention to her trainer's words. The evil little monster had not only set paw inside the pale dragoness' territory after all, but it had even found the gall to monopolize her trainer's attention!
"You will show us the place you last saw your trainer and then Shyv-" The once tiny but now big, humanoid dragonling's pout intensifies. Quinn had still not commented on how she has finished her pancakes without smearing her clothes for once and Shyvana had really tried her best to do so this time. But, nooo her trainer is just talking to the small ball of fur and she is even smiling at it. Quinn isn't allowed to smile at other monsters!
"We will find them, Red. You will see." Her owner reassures the red ball of fur and Shyvana's eyes turn the size of saucers as she watches her trainer's sun-kissed hand slowly rise and reach out to rub the fuzzy head of the ravenous crimson kitten. T-that's! Quinn was petting another monster in front of her. That just has to be illegal!
A challenging roar rips out of the big dragonling's throat and her startled trainer suddenly jumps as Shyvana leans forward and flashes her teeth at the terrified kitten, which soon pales in fear after taking a good look at her teeth.. and rushes to hide behind her owner. Grrrr!
"Shyv!"
Fierce golden eyes dart to a shocked pair of kind amber ones and the challenging roar of the pale dragoness soon turns into a low whimper as Quinn instantly wraps her arms around the small ball of fur, holding the little monster protectively. Shyvana gulps as the dragoness' golden gaze abruptly meets her owner's clearly disappointed eyes. And Shyvana pauses to think of a good excuse for her sudden outburst. Quinn would rarely raise her voice at her like this after all and when she did, it usually was to warn the little dragonling of unseen threats and impending dangers.
"S-she was rub-bing her head against your hand-paw, she is trying to s-teal you from me!"
Short, honest and right on point. Shyvana was also informing Quinn of the red kitten's vile intentions. There, that should be enough for Quinn to exile the cruel bad furball. Shyvana was proud of her patience and calm judgment.
"What?"
Quinn blinks, carefully places the small furry monster back on the table and away from Shyvana's reach and then wraps her arms around the pouting and quivering dragoness.
"Nobody is going to steal me from you my little dragonling. Red over there is just a little scared because she has just lost her trainer and I promised her to help her find them again. I still love you very, very, very much and that is never going to change, ok?"
The pale dragoness nods, sniffles a bit and then Shyvana is about to return Quinn's hug when the big dragonling's eyes suddenly widen in fear.
"The small kitten has l-ost its Quinny!?"
The trainer nods, a bit amused by how her little dragonling seems to believe that every female trainer is either named Syndra or Quinny.
"Well, I am not sure that her trainer and I share the same name, but yes the little kitten over there is currently looking for its owner.
Ashamed golden eyes seem to widen even more as Shyvana's pout instantly vanishes and the pale purple dragoness rushes to embrace the hissing kitten, her fiery golden gaze already blurring with tears.
"I'm so sowwy latr-ler kitten."
The now bawling dragonling utters in remorse as pale purple arms suddenly embrace the fleeing Katarina.
Meeeeoooow!
