"Ooooh.." Essen purred as she rubbed her head against the mans leg. "I like you."
"Ah... N-nice k-k-kitty.." The man tried to pet the catform, but instead just patted her head a few times.
"Aww. Why are you shaking?"
"N-no reas-sson.."
"Well. I will leave you in charge while I run off and help save the world, okay?" She smiled maniacally as she said that, sitting back and looking up at the man in the chair. His face had a thin layer of sweat built up from the stress of the catform at his leg. "Really now. I'm not going to eat you or anything."
"O-o-okay." He attempted to look as if he was certain of what he was saying, but he failed horribly.
Essen licked her lips as she looked about the room. The other 3 council members appeared to be just as frightened as the man she was leaving in charge. Kyo and Dogal were talking about how they could explain to the townspeople that they couldn't stay past the night and Koiken was looking for something.
"Gwen, You missed a spot." Essen pointed to a small puddle of blood that was at the base of a fifth, empty chair for an elder.
"I admit Samuel was tasty but I'm full for the moment." Gwen flicked her snaketail contently while Essen eyed the puddle.
"Oh, for crying out loud..." Kyo snapped his fingers and the blood began to clean itself up. "There we go. Nice and clean."
Essen scoffed. "I would have cleaned that up myself!" she cried, feeling deprived. With a swish of his cloak, Kyo made his way out of the Elder's Hut. Dogal followed, with Gwen and Essen not far behind. With a sigh of relief, the other four council members sunk into their chair. They'd made it out of that encounter alive.
a/n: Ah. A little more drabble-like, I think. :D I'm proud. Now, if only I can keep them short-ish like this. But I just love being wordy!
I'm going to try my hardest to write one of these at work a day, making me keep them somewhat short... but we'll see how that works out. lochoko
