[SWE] The Festival of Lights

Edy #nofilter Amalia answers and that answer absolutely thrills the teenager, her pleasure displayed in a bright and glistening array of teeth. Closer now with the firelight contouring Amalia's features in a way that was almost pointless, Edy all but purred as her dark eyes took in the topography of the woman's face. Even as she dropped down to look at Bobi Edy's eyes scoured the lines of her body with a hungry approval that she wouldn't have tried to hide even if Amalia had eyes in the back of her head. At their feet, Bobi broke her stare aware from Jorseval to eye Amalia for a moment. Despite having been all but found in a pool of blood, the kitten did not know fear. Without a parent to teach it the healthy respect for human-kind that it should probably have, it knew nothing but the predatory dominance bred into it. And so as Amalia stared, Bobi stared right back...though her eyes were wide and not focused. Well, not focused on Amalia anyways. With a tight coiling of her muscles, the kitten pounced! Paws outstretched, eyes intent on the crow and --! --and! With a frightened hiss of outrage, Bobi fled behind Edy's legs, looking up at the no-longer-crow with flat eyes made wide given her dilated pupils. Glancing at Ronin, Edy grinned and nodded. "Yep. Turned up in the infirmary. Something locked its mother away with some others..." Carelessly the former-guard shrugged. "Isla was going to look into it." She said by way of casual explanation. Edy wasn't a guard anymore, and so if Ronin wanted more details than that, he could chase them down himself. That Jorseval was a shapechanger was only mildly surprising really. That Amalia was a baker was the real interest. "Ahh, sweets during the day, trouble at night?" Edy purred delighted, watching the man-crow out of the corner of her eyes as he splayed himself on the ground. Behind her, Bobi watched this unsympathetically and through their bond Edy could feel a healthy dose of skepticism as well as hunger. "Go on then. What more permission you need?" She encouraged the little kitten (thinking nothing of the life-long damage this would probably do to Bobi in terms of hunting practices). And so, taking Edy's word as gospel, Bobi pounced at Jorseval once again.
