Unlike her companion, Morsel, Kital was more than happy to accept the affection on offer, unknown Lilims and strange humans be damned. She cheerfully nudged against Jarvan's offered hand to let him know the attention was welcome, and even lifted her head to give him easier access to her more sensitive underside. Her eyes fluttered closed as she enjoyed his idle tickling, a pleased smile on her fishy face...<br/><br/>...but she couldn't miss the soft thud of Morsel's tail. The red-gold Matsuba opened one regretful eye, which flicked from her master's shoulder to the group who'd caught Morsel's attention, and then slowly trailed across the group once more. Her gaze landed on one of the humans, the girl who seemed lit with some kind of inner fire, and without quite knowing why, Kital felt herself shiver. There was something<i>unsettling</i>about that one. Maybe Morsel was right to be on guard, after all. Kital opened her other eye, gave her contractor's hand another little nudge, and then wiggled through the air, just slightly, out of his reach.<br/><br/>In response to Morsel's statement, Kital made a small blubbing noise - acknowledgement that she'd heard and understood, but not really a word in itself - and then turned towards the rest of the group, trying to shake off the uneasy feeling inside her. "<i>Well</i>," She said, "<i>I guess that if we're all travelling together, I should try and make fr...</i>"<br/><br/>She didn't quite manage to finish that thought before she was interrupted by the hissing of a Skull Spider, the yelping of a Chaos Hound, and the general commotion of the two colliding. Kital watched as the spider stormed past, turning her head mutely as she followed its path; and then the Matsuba's sides began to shake. She flailed her fins helplessly, and glanced back at Morsel with a pained look on her face.<br/><br/>"<i>I hadn't even thought of that," </i>she wheezed, weakly, as she tried to suppress a fit of bubbly giggles. The spider seemed genuinely upset, and she had a feeling it wouldn't appreciate her amusement, but she was finding it<i>very </i>difficult to keep a straight face.
