Trystan raised an eyebrow. "That neko isn't going anywhere regardless of whether or not she plans on taking Sam. She's under my protection. And besides, the neko is too valuable at this point to even think about letting go." The kitsune shook his head. When they finally made it outside, he couldn't help but notice that Tigger's tails were making a strange noise. He couldn't seem to control them. "Uh..... buddy, a little tip for your tails. Don't try to control each of them at the same time. Focus on one, and the rest will follow. The tails aren't the smart part, even if they are more evil then you'd like 'em to be." He grinned. "Trust me, I know my stuff in that particular department."<br/><br/>The humor quickly faded, Trystan drawing two pistols. Something was there, watching them from behind the treelines. "Yeah, it'd be lovely if my gut wasn't twisting in on itself. There's something out there. Promised the girls a safe perimeter, we can't exactly be caught lieing to them now can we?"
