  • He could see all eyes were on him, it had been that case for every pair of eyes that saw him since he walked off the deck of his ship. If they knew he was a pirate, they might have laughed at the absurdity of the title on him. The man walked with the grace of a feline, in more ways then one as the end of his tail flicked back and forth excitedly, his pointed cat ears giving an occasional flick.

    Everyone had to stare at the cat features, everyone either wanted to ask how or pet them. Lucky it was usually women who knew better that wanted to pet him. They knew that would be rude at the very least.

    This was fine with Neth, he preferred his cat features being admired but not touched, since they were very sensitive. The only ones allowed to touch them were the people who shared his bed on occasion, ladies more since they had a much gentler touch then men. Neth wondered why no man could be gentle holding a fluffy red cat tail, don't they know the cat has claws?

    Anyway, Neth moved through the market, occasionally stopping at one of the stands selling foods or shiny trinkets. If anyone watched him long enough they would notice a pattern. He would not spend a single coin but if they saw his ears twitch a few times in a row, he would walk away with something extra. A bracelet around the end of his tail, a new ring, a piece of fruit, something.

    When he finally got bored Neth went into a casino to do some high stakes gambling. That always helped to focus his mind off his boredom, never mind that he rarely lost. It was hard to lose when you cheat and lie as well as him. One of Neth's favorites was card games, where he just had to do those to win. It also helped when you had a tail that drew the eye or the mind, in the case of one player who Neth's tail coiled around their ankle.

    That seemed to surprise them enough that they looked and Neth switched out some bad cards with others he kept in his sleeve. This was why he usually stuck with one on one games, but he wasn't against playing in a group. He just have to be more clever in group games.

"Oh Come on." Kethrin rolled his eyes at Takurua as they walked through the streets. Their last assignment had put them here, and as he had just finished escorting the small group back, they had some free time to do as they pleased. And Keth was wanting to do something fun. He had a little extra coin in his pocket,the young lady had tipped generously, and despite the very obvious offer, he accepted the extra coinage, and bid them adiue.

"We shouldn't waste it. You never know when you might need it." Takurua replied, sighing as Keth stopped at another stand. He wouldn't find anyrhing, and would move on to the next. He kept up with ease as they moved, actually having to push through the crowd. He ignored the stares from some.

"We made more than enough, I rarely ever splurge on stuff. One little treat won't kill me." Keth remarked. Takurua just shook his head, running a humanoid hand through his hair, going over his horns. Once Kethrin had made up hi mind, there was little that the Ice Dragon (wandering around in Humanoid form) could do. He would just have to tag along.

"As long as we have enough for a bed tonight, I suppose it can't hurt."

"That's the spirit!" Kethrin smirked at his much taller companion. it was still a bit disconcerting to see the large Ice in a humanoid form, but Keth had to admit that it was also pretty cool. He laughed at Takurua's facial expression before turning his attention back to where he was going. He was in a good mood for once and there wasn't anything that Takurua could do to stop him from getting rid of the excess energy that the assignment had left him.

However, he knew he was pushing his luck when both found themselves sitting in a card game, betting a small portion of their money. Kethrin was, decent at poker, as long as the others played fair (and he was as well), however, he never really got anything out of it. Takurua also found himself with a hand, and scowled. He had never played before, and definitely didn't want to make this a habit,

"You call this a treat" He whispered at Kethrin, watching the cat-eared person as his ears kept twitching.

"Having fun is a treat." Keth whispered, before realizing there was something wrapped around his leg. "Tak....there is something wrapped around my leg" He hissed, managing not to look down, but Tak did,

"It's a tailll." There was some confusion as to where the red furry tail came from, but Keth was quick to put two and two together. Turning his gaze to the culprit.

"So, that's how you're doing it." He didn't say it flat out, knowing full well that a brawl would start if he even officially called him out on it, he wasn't going to put the fellow through that, and besides, there was always the risk that it would become very unruly. "Next item of business, please remove your tail from my ankle. Else I'll do it for you."

  • Neth was amused, in more ways then one. At their table there seemed to be one humanoid dragon who not only was unhappy playing cards but was clearly distracted by cat ears. The end of his tail flicked before carefully coiling around the rider's ankle, loose so it would be more distracting and tempt the other to look down to see what it was tickling his skin. But the other seemed unwilling to be a good sport and instead had his dragon look to see what the annoyance was.

    Irritating, but still almost amusing. Neth smirked and his tail coiled more around the rider's leg, sneaking into the leg of his pants for a brief moment before pulling back and returned to lay across Neth's lap.

    Neth was not inclined to listen to anyone, but others before him have threatened and then stomped on the sensitive tail. That had hurt almost even more then being kicked in the crotch.

    "On that matter, I would like to point out that, should you injure my precious tail, I'd be forced to shoot you," he said the threat with a small shrug of his shoulders, as if he would not think twice about pulling out a gun and firing at the dragonrider and his companion. And Neth really wouldn't, he was fairly certain he could handle himself in a fight if he shot the dragon dead first. Always eliminate the greater threat first.

    And whatever brawl started from there would actually be enjoyable.

    But he wasn't there to get into a big fight, these were new boots and the only pair he had that were not stained in blood or filth. Neth wiggled his toes, enjoying the feel of new shoes, then continued with his game. His hand wasn't the best, he wished he could have sneaked in a full house, but he tried to keep a calm face as he raised the pot, throwing in a few hundred dollars worth of chips. He then leaned back with a smug smirk, waiting for the others to either quit or call his raise.

    Half of the game in poker was bluffing your opponents into giving up.

Keth wasn't very pleased when the tail started to move. He twitched and almost glared at the other man if Takurua hadn't nudged him discreetly with his elbow. He wasn't used to suddenly getting molested by a furry tail. Especially if the owner of said tail was trying to cheat by distracting others with his furry additions.

"Well, Perhaps if you would get it out of my lap, I wouldn't have to do it for you." Keth replied evenly, looking at his own cards. It was a decent flush, but probably nothing that would win this game. He threw in another chip, while Takurua sighed. Takurua definitely didn't want to get into a brawl, and he wouldn't be able to shift to his true form without doing heavy damage to the place.

"Why don't we just focus on the game and not worry about the cat tail" He hissed, as he decided to fold. He didn't, if he understood the rules correctly, have anything to even keep trying to bluff the others, but he had to admit, when Keth wasn't distracted, his poker face was relatively decent. However, Keth was getting distracted and He didn;t want to get in over his head.

"I am focused on the game...for the most part." Keth huffed at his dragon, shooting him an annoyed look. "Just because you folded, doesn't mean you get to chide me how to play. I know how to play."

"Sure, but you have horrid luck."

"When people don't play fair, of course not." He said this with a whisper to his dragon, probably thinking that he was the only one at the table even attempting to play fair. Takurua wasn't even trying to play, and probably, by the looks of things, wouldn't even be dealt a hand in the next round.
