Tiger walked along a dirt trail that weaved through the undergrowth of the forest, following her new found friends to their home town. Float walked beside her seemingly lost in thought. "Were almost there," Kaite called from up head. She was supporting some of Kira's weight much to her annoyance. Katie gave her a look, "Well this wouldn't have happened if you had put away your weapons."

"Mer." Kira growled like a grumpy kitten, her white tail lashing. Tiger struggled to contain her giggles. Turning her attention away from the two she looked at Float who still looked far away.

"Earth to Float, I repeat Earth to Float," Tiger said poking the wolf eared boy in the shoulder.

Startled Float jumped away and managed to trip and fall over into a clump of bushes. "What!? Owww, Tiger whyyyy." Float groaned. Tiger's ears flicked a sort of amused pur emitting from her, she held out her hand to her fallen companion. With a huff of annoyance he took it.

Smirking Tiger asked,"What had you so distracted?"

Float's head tilted slightly a confused look on his features before he recalled what he had been thinking about. " Well um, you know how those other Kajhits that attacked us before?" Tiger nodded in response. "Well they called you a Shadow Weaver and me and Water Sorcerer so I was wondering if some people here also have powers of us to be the e kind." Float explained.

"That's a good question actually, let's ask Katie or Kira," Tiger reasoned.

Float nodded,"Sounds good to me."

"Hey! Lover kits hurry up your falling behind! We're here," Katie yelled at them from a bit farther up the path.

"C-coming!" Float stuttered feeling his face heating up, Tiger wasn't much different. They broke into a run to catch up. Once they did a arch made out of two trees bent towards the other greeted them.

Kira smiled seeing the familiar arch, "Welcome to Taliz Village!" Katie ushered them threw the arch and into the small village. Kajhits, and other animal eared people were walking about and doing their thing.

"First things first, I'll show you were you two can stay for now alright?" Katie questioned.

Float agreed, looking around at this lovely little place,"Fine by me."

With a flick of her tail Tiger decided, "Sure."

Then with a bright smile Katie led them to her small cozy little home drawing attention as they went. Some of the townspeople even greeted them with words of welcome. Katie opened the door to her house and brought them all inside. Tiger was surprised at all the little nick-nacks that Katie possessed. After getting Kira settled into a chair Katie lead them into her dinning room which had a low table with intricate patterns carved into it. With padded stools around it. A small kitchen area was behind the table. "Over here!" Katie said drawing their attention from her dining room and over to a door. Katie opened it and walked threw Float and Tiger following. Warm air hit them in the face as they entered Katie's bathing room. "You guys can clean up in here, I'll set some clothes outside the door for both of you. But first I need to show you both your rooms. Come." Katie ordered before whisking them out and back to the front hallway. This time she led them up a set of stairs. A hall of doors greeted them. "These are my two guest rooms, you can stay here. Now I'll go find you some clothes and then I must go find Quail so she can have a look at Kira's wound. PLEASE don't tear up my house." Katie explained, and then she was gone down the stairs.

"You can go bathe first, I wanna put my stuff away," Tiger offered. Float smiled before dashing into one of the rooms, throwing his pack and sword on a bed and rushing downstairs. Giggling to herself about the excitable gerbil that Float was, she opened the other guest room door. The floor was a dark smooth wood and a small bed was in the corner. A chest resting against one wall seemed to be the only storage. Swinging her bag off she set it on the bed, pouring out its contents. All she had was some food, a sleeping bag, and a tent. Well an her sword Rallem. She put the tent and sleeping bag in the chest and stowed the food back I her pack. She then set her sword and bag next to her bed. Unpacked all she had to do was wait for Float to finish bathing. Tiger settled down on the rather comfortable bed to wait.

Float dried himself off by drawing all the water off his body, before peaking out the door. Spotting two stacks of clothes he grabbed the one that looked more like boy clothes. Closing the door to change he found that he was quite happy with how they looked. Also the fact that their was a hole for his wolf tail was pretty nice. The clothes where made out of animal fur and leather. Overall it was pretty comfy. Without further delay he exited the bathrobe room and ran upstairs, knocking on Tigers door. "I'm done!" He called before going into his room.

Tiger stretched as she relevantly drew herself away from the warm covers of the bed. Purring contently when her back popped. Making her way to the batheing room she realized how much more cat like she acted now. "Meh."
Grabbing the pile of clothes outside the door she entered, smiling contently with how warm the air was.

~One bath later~

Drying herself off with a towel from a stack in a corner she got dressed in the new clothes. Her eyes lighting up with joy when she realized that she got a skirt. She loved skirts. Exiting the room she headed upstairs, flopping face first onto the bed. With a happy sigh she fell asleep.
