[PQ] I Need A Hero

Its heartbeat was so loud the walls might as well have been shaking. It stared ahead with wide golden eyes as the door was violently shaken by Roana's blow. Its breath came in hot spurts, its feet feeling every vibration in the room. They would come in now, it knew that instinctively. And it waited. As Ely finally opened the door, spilling meagre amounts of light into the space, a ball of greyish fur scuttled back against the far corner of the room. With tufts of fur on its ears making them look comically large, the bobcat kitten stared with frightened eyes at the three large humans blocking its only entrance. Opening its mouth the kitten gave a mewling cry that sounded just like a human child, a characteristic its species was known for.  With no tail to curl around itself, the kitten scrunched its body in on itself, adorably large paws scrapping against the floor. Looking around, the group might notice the body of what was likely the parent of this young kitten, dead and eviscerated in the corner. There were also two humans dead: one clearly from the bobcat, the other's injuries were too innumerable to say for sure. Seeing this the group might deduce that the cat and the humans had been locked in this room. The reasons unknown. You've found a regular companion! If you would like to try and earn the creature's trust (thereby 'winning' the companion, you have 3 days to post to try and do so! Be creative in your responses. If you would not like to try to win the creature, feel free to continue exploring!) Edrei Roana Isla Elyna
