The Grey Castle / Re: A sheep among wolves
« Last post by Jacob on October 22, 2017, 09:11:23 PM »Alexander had already moved on with his plans, about to discuss what they were going to tell the press in a conference later. So when the human girl piped up, he almost missed it. Turning his head to look at his employee seriously, he started to say something but before he could do so, Jacob sent:*I can handle it, no worries.* Lingering his gaze on Cora for a moment longer, Alex then refocused on Carl, leaning closer to see what the other was typing and showing on his tablet.
He smiled his best innocent smile at her when she threatened him for leaving fur in places. While most cats probably didn't shed all the time, white fluffy cats certainly did. Jake winked - he really had no fear, all the more that he was going to remain in his human form for now - and said:"I'll behave, I promise. Although, I do heal very fast so I might walk around naked soon again." He suffocated a quick laugh to try and redirect the topic of conversation to what he needed it to be:"Anyway!"
Jacob didn't really mind getting guard-duty. It meant that he was less in his cat form but it also meant that he could interact with others in a more open manner. He didn't have to hide, to be secretive. He stepped forward and waved at the door for Cora to move. "Is your home big enough to house four strange people?" he inquired almost casually, his smile easy. The tease is gone, now he is simply a guy talking to a person.
"Plus me," he added as an afterthought. For him, they were no longer strangers. That's how simple it was to get Mister Hunt to become friends with you. He prided himself with being a good judge of character - he had to or he couldn't have been doing what he was for the Wyr - and his instict told him the human female just needed to be more or less in control of her surroundings. Tough job when you work for someone whose possibly been around for more than a million years. Give or take. Thankfully, she still had Jake!
"Lets say we drop the security force. Just you and me, just like the boss ordered," he continued his theorizing as they walked through the halls of the place, slowly as he wanted to get through to her before moving onto the next stage. "Now, I am good at protecting people." There was no boast in his voice, only the young man admitting something that was true about him. Unlike other Wyr, Jacob was stronger in his human form so he kept the body well-maintained and practiced so that nobody could say he didn't deserve his position among the Wyr Commander's inner circle. Which, in all honesty, was weird for a mere Housecat Wyr.
"But if there are more than... four? Five? Maybe six of them, all in their Wyr forms, even I can't keep them back." Did she want him to die? The adorable white kitty with a surprisingly mature and stable mind in both his forms?! "This will be very temporary," Jacob added at last as they approached the exit to the Courtyard. "And I will be there to look after your safety, I promise you." The Housecat Wyr stopped by the door, opening it and motioning to a blue Volkswagen Golf sitting inconspicuously in the parking spot. "I assume you'll want to grab some things from your house?"

The Grey Castle / Re: A sheep among wolves
« Last post by Cora on October 22, 2017, 03:04:29 PM »Perhaps someone with a different mindset would have seen the opportunity to get out whilst they could. Made a run for it and found a job in a regular, human company so that she could live out her time in the corporate world in peace. But Cora wasn’t like that. She liked a challenge. She loved diversity. And she lived to deliver the best someone expected of her. It wasn’t in her nature to flee any more than it was to stagnate. She’d do what she could to maintain the relations between the races from where she was, and perhaps in time make a difference on a bigger scale. She’d grown loyal to Mara, and by default, was now loyal to they Wyr.
Cora smiled in response to Alexander, appreciating the change in his features that suggested she’d done well enough for him to acknowledge. It gave her a brief flicker of pride, to know that even if she held little of substance for them to use in this room, she was still of benefit to the cause as a whole. She didn’t want to see this escalate beyond where it was already. For one, it put her in a dangerous position, because guilt by association was just as bad to many who were geared for a takedown. But also, it was bad for business on the whole. If tensions became too fraught, that humans wouldn’t do business with Wyr, it left her with a whole heap of difficulty, again by association.
It was as if thinking about the association somehow prompted the Wyr to intensify the connection, when he suggested she replace Matt on the Ryder case. She snapped her attention to him and listened as he barked commands to the rest of them around the table. Her hackles raised in an instant as he planned out her life in the short term for her. She made to argue, but heads swivelled and affirmations were nodded, and before Cora could take a breath, she had a security detail, the naked man-cat, and suddenly was living all cosy in Grey Castle.
She had to interject, had to voice her displeasure at it, but nothing much came out. She was curious, perhaps too curious, to see what life in this place would be like, but her home, her independence, her sanity were being compromised by forcing her to stay here, mostly against her will, and she wasn’t enough of a key player for any of this to seem necessary.
“I’m sorry, but may I interject from a human perspective here?” She spread her hands and tried her best to sound convincing.
“I have a home, on the other side of the city, that is where I’m comfortable, and safe. To leave me here when I’m clearly not quite so accustomed to some of the…” she glanced at Jake, “mannerisms of the Wyr isn’t what’s best for me. I’m not in danger here, but I’m certainly conspicuous.” She leaned forward and became more animated as she continued.
“I’m not saying that you have anyone here to worry about, but the fact is that as soon as I’m more associated with the Wyr than I already am, that’s when I might become a target.”
She paused then.
Ah. Maybe he could hear her thoughts earlier. Maybe she was going to be bait. She huffed a small laugh to herself and nodded in acknowledgement. The stakes certainly had increased now, and a peculiar confidence warmed her. Almost like she felt like one of the boys around a poker table. “Perhaps you’d be better assigning someone as an assistant to the case, and let me go right back into talks with Maynard directly.” Hell, if she was going into a trap, she’d go for the biggest prize before it sprung on her.
“And Jake,” she smiled coolly, “if you get white hair on any of my stuff, you won’t want to walk around naked for a long time.”
She stood with the rest of them, ready to leave, but still not entirely happy with the situation. She wanted to go home. She wanted her own bed and her own kitchen, and her clothes. She eyed Jacob, tilted her head ever so slightly as she studied him making his exit. He seemed overly eager to be assigned to her, and she couldn’t decide if she was suspicious or intrigued, or had someone she could use to help her acclimatise. She’d find out, she supposed. She glanced back at The Boss and Jitters.
This wasn’t going to be close to her last meeting with Alexander. If he wanted to use her as bait, she’d make sure she got something out of the deal.
