Demonic rabbits on the loose!
Teja had some very bad news the other day: - of all the people from his world, the bar had brought his arch-enemy! He had not seen Cethegus himself, yet; but Yrael had told him of the encounter, and Teja was making plans. Whom should he alert, how should he make ready, what meddling was to be expected from the man? Charlie. He had to tell Charlie, for none would be more of a welcome target to the last Roman than the Goth king's beloved!
The forge cats, seeing their human so worried, decided to comfort him, and cheer him up. And how do cats do that, if the time of day is not conducive to extensive skritching? By bringing in nice, fresh prey, of course! So, after a while, Teja sees something moving on the floor, and as he turns his head, there are the cats, proudly bearing young demonic rabbits in their fangs, as a gift for their booding human.
Teja pets the cats and congratulates them on their success, but as he does not make to eat the prey at once as the cats probably expected, they deposit their gift, and wander off again, to find something more worthwhile to do. Teja means to call the waitrats to dispose of the sorry leavings, but is distracted by grim thoughts of just how offensive Cethegus might be to Charlie, and looks back at the fire.
The prey, merely having played dead in order not to get killed all the way, gets up when the cats are gone and the man firmly looks the other way, and sneaks away.-
[[OOC: See this backroom post about the creature chase! Of course, you can also tag Teja for normal threading and talking, if you'd rather!]]
