beauty cat and the bald ape

Sesi was rarely ever not irrational. If the world didn't kill the poor girl, her own blood pressure surely would. She exhaled sharply through her nose in response to his question, struggling to find words. She couldn't leave him here - god knows what he would do. Pee on things - or stage an invasion! Or.. or something worse. "Never mind," Sesi squeaked eventually, shifting where she stood. Saena might not flog her for failing to defend the pack, but she would not look kindly on failing to try.

The silvery youth took a shaky step in Taggarik's direction, squaring her narrow chest. She was minutes from wetting herself, but there was no other choice - if she was booted from the pack, she was dead. "Wh-who are you? Why're you skulking around here?" It sounded like the sort of thing a guardian would say, but the voice used was a far cry from appropriate for the job.
