<<So where are you off to now?>> Kiyoshi asked the large wolf. Usually the kitsune wandered around the night before a mission, to find a little piece of mind. He especially enjoyed looking at the moon, but he figured that was due to his blood since his father was a moon kitsune. However he did want to get to know the people he was going to be working with a little bit more.
Jara was the last to leave. She inclined her head to the Commander with her hand over her chest as a silent act of taking her leave. Outside she saw Tempest. "Excuse me, you are Tempest correct? I am Jara; it appears that we will be working together," The woman said in a matter-of-fact tone.

as I get dismissed, I stand, salute, (don't forget my rank as just a lieutenant) and march off to my quarters, looking a little taciturn while I'm on the way ((taciturn means without soul.))

I am Jara; it appears that we will be working together," The woman said in a matter-of-fact tone. ((Now... I can make Tempest butt-headed! Hehehe... this is going to be fun.)) Tempest's brown eyes shifted to this woman while he brushed his burnette bangs aside. "Jara, is it?" he asked in a light voice. "I've seen you around the Base... you're that girl, who likes throwing knives, eh?" The teen crosses his arms, in a confident manner. "Yeah, I guess we're working together on this mission. Just watch your back and don't get in my way." Tempest! Raj's voice rang in his head, as the wolf shot his companion a sharp glare. "Hn. Come on, Rajuko. We're leaving." Raj slowly gets off his haunches, sliding Orn off his back. He looks back at Kiyoshi and the silver cat. Sorry I can't stay longer. Either way, I'll see you two tomorrow. And with that, the two warriors left, walking down the narrow passage in quick strides.

Jara put her hands on her hips as Tempest walked away, smirking.
[glow=black,2,300]<<Wow,>> Kiyoshi went up and sat next to his owner, <<Rajuko is so different compaired to his human companion.>> The kitsune looked up at Jara, <<What are you smirking for?>>[/glow]
"Hmph, he's as blunt as they say. I'm surprised he knew me though," The girl whispered to herself. "Oh, it's nothing Kiyoshi. Let's go," The two went to their quarters for the night.

During the night, 1 hour before the after-hours, Quickie and I went to the training room again to do a ½ hour of practice (yet again) but this time more with hand to hand combat (including Quickie.). after I finish my usual drill, I look around for Quickie only to find that he wandered off again... so I page the security crew: "If you see a blue ferret like creature running around, don't kill it, but redirect it to my quarters..." and I say to myself: "Okay... now to find Quickie..." and I dash off and search all the halls. I continue to search only to find Quickie underneath the warp drive. ((he's missing the engine by only ½ an inch and his hair, if it stood, would fry him easily)) so I bring out my supersonicultra frequency flute to try to lure him from underneath. he came out, but he missed the warp drive by 1/100th of an inch, scaring me to death. "Don't do that next time, okay, Quickie?" "Quickee..." 'Okay...' and I wander back to my quarters

«The least you could've done was tell me you were moving... I could've climbed down myself.» The cat harrumphed to no one in particular.
A few moments later, her thoughts gathered, she sets about with her usual mental broadcasts. The Commander is mystified to see the cat seemingly disappear before his eyes. (Little does he know that his -and everyone else's- perceptions are being doctored by broadcast to not include a certain silver feline.) The now-cloaked cat follows Rajuko from ten paces back, in case he should stop suddenly. This ought to be fun...

"Tempest," Rajuko started. "You've been rather... quiet lately." The red wolf chose his words carefully, trying not to irritate the already short-tempered teenager. "Is there something wrong, sir?"
"Nothing, Rajuko," he replied bluntly, his quick pace never failing.
"...If you're sure..." The mascue quickened his pace, trotting besides his human counterpart. "Why the rush?"
"Something's not right..." Tempest said, his eyes growing icier by the second. It's almost like we're being followed... he continued telepathically.
"Sir, I assure you... I don't sense anything behind us."
"..."

«...and if you are being followed?» Suddenly a familiar tabby "appears" in the path before them. She lifts a paw to her nose as if covering a giggle. «Sorry, I just couldn't contain myself. It was just too tempting! Especially after you took my bed away...» The cat punctuates this last bit with a nod at Rajuko.
«Anyway, I have a message for you,» she continues. «"They're not impressed by your posturing." We're allies, not competitors; unless you allow us to trust you, and yourself to trust us, then we're going nowhere fast—» Suddenly the tabby stops and scratches an ear with her hind leg. «...blasted fleas... anyway. At least try to be gentlemanly with the others, it'll make your mission go easier. Like as not, you're stuck with them.»

Tempest glanced at the cat for a few seconds, then tilted his head to the side with a small smirk on his face. "Hn. And why am I listening to a cat?" Without another look, he walked past Orn down the narrow hall, leaving his companion.
The wolf smiled sympathetically. He's not very sociable, I'm afraid.

The cat momentarily ignores Raj, eyes blazing in indignant fury. «Because I'm not just a cat...» —a twinge in Tempest's mind sends him to his knees, as his feet stop working— «...and the next time you demean me like that, I won't stop with your feet. Insolent brat! Someone should have taught you manners long ago.»
The image of the cat sighs, as if to collect itself. «I have no tolerance for you or anyone else, especially should you treat me like that,» she continues in a calmer voice. «"Cat" or not, I don't deserve it.» She releases his feet, her image almost apologetic in its stance. I need to work on controlling my impulses...

The loyal wolf immediately rushes to his companion's side, nuzzling his shoulder. "Are you alright, sir?" he asks frantically.
"I'm fine, Rajuko," he answered, a glint of rage in his eyes, as he picked himself up off the floor. Tempest glared at Orn for a few seconds, then turned away, swearing mentally, expecting the mascu to follow him.
Raj closed his golden orbs for a moment, taking a seat near the wall. I wish you hadn't done that.

«He needed it. To be honest, he needs to be taken down a peg... but I won't be the one to do it. I'll leave that to his "allies."» The image sighs, then disappears as the actual cat emerges from a side hallway.
«I may consider you a friend, but I don't care what you think about my methods,» she starts, before the wolf can say anything. «I'll accept your opinion if you want to give it, but you have to accept mine as well and my opinion is that my method worked. I caused him no pain or permanent injury, my conscience is sated and I got my point across. If nothing else, he won't insult me anymore.»

Yes, perhaps, Tempest is short-tempered and even a bit on the discourteous side, Rajuko relayed, But I doubt your method did much more than anger him... The red mascu finally stood onto his massive paws. There are some things that you must understand about him before trying to curb his character. He's experienced a cruel life as a youth... one both heartbreaking and brutal.
Raj paused for a second, collecting his thoughts. And I believe I've said too much. Forgive me. He shook his head.

«It's alright... but rough childhood or not his demeanor is going to get himself, or his comrades, killed. That's all I was trying to warn him of. Ergh. It doesn't matter anymore.»
«Is there anything else you want to tell me? I won't pry if you don't want me to.»

As hard as it is to believe, Tempest has his loyalties. It takes a while for him to trust... but it's doable, Rajuko replies calmly.
I'm afraid it's not my place to say. As for Tempest, trust is a lesson for him to learn and time, itself, to teach. Perhaps he'll warm up before this mission is over.
