When it rains, look for rainbows.
The woman's 'less than impressed' response was frustrating, and Nova's jaguar face further narrowed with annoyance and disappointment. Why did she look so calm? Did she not see her sharp claws? Maybe she hadn't noticed the dangerous glint of her dangerous teeth? Or see how her colorful fur showed off her powerful muscles? It perplexed her, because the woman didn't look blind. She'd obviously been looking at Nova the whole time. But that was the only logical reason for her reaction. Right?
And yet, apathy was preferred to the sudden flash of fire as a bow magically appeared in the woman's hands. She hadn't built the instincts to understand that she should dodge when someone was pointing a deadly weapon in her face, and Nova had the audacity to be surprised when the arrow came hurtling towards her. Then her innate feline desire for self-preservation had her leaping to the side, letting out a "MRAWR!" of indignation as the heat singed against her coat. So used to speaking with her siblings through the Attuned bond and thoughts alone, Nova immediately yelled out, Hey! That almost hit me! As if that wasn't what Melita was trying to do when she loosed an arrow at her. Growling, she leapt forward to pounce on the woman with outstretched paws.

When it's dark, look for stars.
