A Mrooow!!!! for Help (Ageru)

[Dimitri]

Dimitri continued walking as he pet the furry little cat in his arms. He was nearing the tree line and could see the walls of Syliras in the distance. Dimitri always loved being on this side of the wall. He preferred the clean air of the woods, the open expanses, the mysteries of this world. Syliras often felt stifling, entrapping. These woods were his only escape, his guilty pleasure. A Knight should want to stay in town and protect her, but he wanted nothing more than to get out and take the fight elsewhere. No matter where it took him.

He stopped at the treeline, not wanting to make way to the city yet. He looked down at the cat, "What do you think girl? Should I hang out here a bit longer? Or take you to the petshop near the docks? The owner is a really nice lady, she'd take care of you." Did the cat want to live within the safe walls though? Maybe she was like him, and preferred it out here. Dimitri shrugged, it's not like he could ask the cat and get an answer.

The cat liked being carried in the mans arms and snuggled right into them as they walked. Soon they could see Syliras in the distance, but the cat wasn’t quite ready to return to the city. Though after all the excitement with the lion maybe it was best to return for the night, he didn’t know.

Looking up at the man as he talked his tail flicked and brushed up against the guys arms. He didn’t like being mistaken for a girl, but it wasn’t like he could be a talking cat. Meowing a bit as if to answer the squire the cat then jumped from the mans arms and took a couple steps towards the forest again, pausing slightly to look over his shoulder to see if the man would follow. Meowing again, he looked back to the woods, his stuff wasn’t far from here, and with that he bolted into the woods.

Quickly finding his equipment where he had stashed it away, his little backpack and everything wrapped in a bundle of his cloak he shifted to his human form and quickly unwrapped everything; pulling the cloak over him, and quickly slipping into his trousers. Humans never liked nudity for some reason and he wanted to look ‘presentable’ for the person who saved his life. Licking his hand he quickly shoved it though his hair as if trying to style it without a mirror. The cat would mess with it until he felt it was suitable, and he wondered if the person had followed him. If not he would have to go find him. He wanted to thank him personally.

As Dimitri neared the city, he wondered if that little girl he met at the beginning of Spring would want the cat. She had one already and truly seemed to care for felines. As he reach the edge of the woods, the cat jumped from his arms. "Wai-!" he stopped himself. Apparently it was a wild cat, meant for the woods and not the city. He sighed, well he hoped it fared well and didn't become a meal for another animal like it almost had. As he stepped into the sunshine, he began stretching his arms and back, warming up in the sun. He walked slowly across the vast green lawn that made up the area outside of the city. He saw the man sentries on the walls and travelers pouring in and out the main gates in the south. He felt good, he'd always been fond of cats, and that made two that he'd saved now, albeit the first hadn't really been in trouble. Maybe he'd get a cat one day. They weren't allowed in the dormitories so it'd have to wait until after he achieved Knighthood. He stopped, looked back at the woods and smiled. Another day, another job well done. OOCwe can probably wrap this up with your next post or mine after that if you'd like.
