A/N--Sure, Tristor, here's where I got my drow dictionary… It's a good one…Enjoy! Remember Yasei Raiden if you draw Kylia ruffling Drizzt's hair I'd love a copy. I thought it was cute too!
Chapter 3--Cat Tails
Drizzt glanced over at Guenhwyvar. "Why do I need to do that? You've seen her before," he said. He hissed in pain as Kylia finally succeeded in getting the arrow out of his shoulder.
"Sorry," Kylia said. She tossed the arrow aside then cleaned and bandaged the wound. "I'm finished now. It should heal up just fine."
Drizzt nodded. "Thank you," he said.
Kylia spotted the statuette on the ground and went over to pick it up. She studied it as she walked back over to Drizzt. "Nice trick," she remarked. "Figurine of wondrous power, right?"
Drizzt nodded and took the statuette. He dropped it by Guenhwyvar. "Thank you, my friend, go home," he said.
Gray mist surrounded the cat as she disappeared. When it had faded Drizzt put away the statuette and looked at Shandra. "Does that answer your questions?" he asked.
"Yes, I suppose it does," Shandra said. "She is a beautiful animal."
"She is also a loyal companion," Drizzt said. "She's been at my side since I came to the surface."
"Where did you get her?" Tarion asked.
"Why didn't you tell me about her?" Shandra asked.
Drizzt just shrugged. "We should dispose of the bodies," he said.
"We'll handle it. You rest that shoulder," Tarion said. He wondered why Drizzt had changed the subject, but decided not to push him.
Shandra shook her head when Drizzt started to protest. "No, we can handle it. You don't want to cause more harm," she said.
"I can help if you pile them up," Kylia said.
Tarion and Shandra went to work and soon had the bodies gathered. Kylia chanted softly and the bodies burst into flames. It consumed the bodies with surprising speed then the flames died.
"It's still early, so we might as well keep going, unless your shoulder is bothering you, Drizzt," Tarion said.
"It's not that bad. I can continue," Drizzt said.
They remounted and urged their mounts forward at a leisurely walk. "You know maybe we should visit my village. I haven't gone home for a long time," Shandra remarked.
Tarion nodded. "Neither have I. It does merit thought," he agreed.
"Sure, great idea, you can ride into a village full of Elves with two of their most hated enemies and if anyone complains you can just say that we followed you home, so you thought you'd keep us," Drizzt said sarcastically.
Kylia began laughing. "It might be worth it just to see the looks on their faces," she said. She smiled seductively at Tarion. "Of course if you wanted to keep me sweetie I'd be willing to stay," she added. She laughed when he blushed and at the look on his face.
"Stop teasing him," Drizzt chided.
"You know I suppose we should let them in on our secret while we're at it," Kylia said.
"What secret?" Shandra asked.
"Oh, nothing serious, just that Drizzt is my brother. Well, half-brother actually," Kylia said.
There was a dead silence as Shandra and Tarion gaped at both of them in stunned surprise.
"Half-brother?" Tarion gasped at last.
"Yes, same father, but different mothers," Kylia shrugged. "It isn't so rare among Drow."
"Why didn't you say something sooner?" Shandra asked.
"I haven't known to long myself," Drizzt said.
Shandra shook her head. "That's a shocking thing to find out," she said.
"Believe me, I was even more shocked then both of you together," Drizzt said.
Kylia slapped him on his uninjured shoulder…
