Lying came easily to Kaida, but perhaps it wasn't very believable, the girl still appeared as frightened as ever, even if she wasn't in danger of blowing them and the tunnel to kingdom come. Still, she had started with this solution, and Kaida was going to stick with it. She didn't fail for her pack. "The man...I was only trying to hurt the man." Now this seemed to catch the girl's attention, and she stepped away from the unconscious human, "W-why, what was going to happen!?"

Kaida's mind raced with thoughts of the various horrors that could happen in this world, and she shrugged, as if the answer was obvious, "Slaver...or murderer, he smells like blood." Lies, complete lies, the man just smelled like everything else down here, rot and sewer water. Still, even if the man was innocent, the girl didn't need to know. By now her skin had almost completely faded, and she leveled an unbelieving but scared look at the man, "But...he was really nice, he even told me I could use this magic where he was taking me." And Kaida nodded, "Yes. He never said it'd be willing work. I think most humans will treat your power like a use to them...I know, I'm not human, see? Let's go, monsters won't use you. Its safe in outside, long as you're powerful."

Her clawed hand was extended, and the girl flinched back, tearing up...then laid her hand in Kaida's. She was tiny, Kaida realized, like prey.

The girl was going to explode again.

So, in turn, Kaida was either going to die or this girl would kill this man, and this mission would no longer be hidden from eyes anymore. Neither option was enviable at the moment. Dragons above! The last thing Quatro Cerberus needed was news that they had eliminated a girl for being too dangerous!

"Stop!" What was she doing!? Nevermind, the girl jerked a head towards her, panting desperately, but her skin dimmed slightly, "I...am not your enemy...didn't mean to catch you in my magic." Kaida felt calmer than she thought she could be, "I am here to help you...not hurt."

Lies came easy to one that hunted, it was kinder to the prey too.

The next few seconds passed by in a blur.

Kaida sprung forward, filling the tunnel with the sound of fast footsteps, more beast than human. As hoped, the man and the girl turned in terror of some horrible monster, likely not even seeing her as a person.

Pop!

The underwhelming sound signaled her magic exploding out of her throat, filling the dim tunnel with blinding light. Even her own eyes burned at the sudden agitation, the man was certainly blinded. His shape failed, and she lunged forward, twisting so her tail slammed into him, cracking him against the wall. He did not get up.

Now, the girl. Who was currently flailing in a similar state, with one key difference. Her skin was glowing a bright red, that only got brighter as she shrieked in terror.

Uh-oh.

Fast was easier said than done. Call Kaida an animal, nearly crawling forward, but that meant she was distinctly aware of how dirty everything was. She didn't want to touch the ground...she barely wanted to touch the walls!

This had to be important, this girl was a danger unnaturally. She had to be caught. Under here, she might possibly even collapse a tunnel!

Resolved, Kaida took a step forward...and startled as voices started coming towards her! "I don't think ya wanna be here, girl, ever heard of Port Boulder? Reckon they'd appreciate those flames ya make!" A deep voiced man, in the dark of the sewers, Kaida couldn't see them as they approached, but she knew they were getting closer, and an idea hatched in a hunter mind.

Her legs pushed her up a slippery wall, leaving to cling to the curved ceiling, just out of sight, hunting.

Kaida's head spun only a moment longer. Didn't matter if she figured out what was discreet here, she figured, if she was found out here. She could figure it out as she went. Good idea? Maybe, she liked it.

She leaned down by the scorch marks, claws rubbing at them slightly as if to dig up some clue. The sewers did not make it easy to investigate in her manner, but smoke was rather difficult to mistake, she only needed to get close enough to find the girl when she no doubt had another explosion.

Kaida's throat burned at the overwhelming stink, but she had it. Down a narrow tunnel, where it appeared some people had been staying...discarded food splattered in already dirty sewer water, and Kaida crawled around it, feeling she'd never get it off if she was dirtied.

People were nearby, she had to be discreet. What if they were trying to defend her? Discreet simply meant nobody had to know her alliances, correct? She had to take care of this, fast, before the girl met more people.

A strange night it is, with the moon so bright. Beasts of all kinds would swarm and devour their prey, consuming in a world with nothing to stop them...at least, that's the way the world should be.

Instead, decaying beings who yearned for flesh even as they died wandered about. Kaida knew not what they were, but they stunk like death and looked dead, and she knew she didn't like them. Even without a mission to slay such beings, she wouldn't mind tearing apart the unnatural beings.

Not to mention she spotted a familiar face about. Family. Kibi Kabat

There was an unfamiliar face, but no matter, Kibi was going to be harmed.

She isn't fast enough to reach Kibi in time to stop her for reaching for the child, but she is there. "Move!" A roar quite unlike her, and she darted forward to toss Kibi away with the force of impact, leaping away herself to assess the danger. Was she unwelcome? Perhaps, but she figured the danger was potent enough.

A more investigative than paranoid approach then? Nice. I can imagine it'll already be a big change for the more violent members of the Guild! Kaida certainly might have trouble with the more peaceful approach, but like before stated, she's loyal, she'll at least try and be more gentle...best she can.

I personally like the idea that the Guild Master and members conflict a bit, especially on the concept of the Cait Shelter. Kaida herself sees them as a threat, but believes in listening to orders as long as they make sense. Thus, she doesn't like that cats, but her lease holds firm.

So, in full, I guess this is a good thing we have going. She's loyal enough but confused, and definitely doesn't grasp the more caring approach.
