<span class="fixed-color" style="color:gold">"Me shrank?"</span>Tsu asked with a laugh...<span class="fixed-color" style="color:gold">"No I just think you had a huge growth spurt."</span>he said with a small smile.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:gold">"Oh him...that's just Firu'en...he's of no danger to any of you...he's actually quite friendly..."</span>as the brunette spoke of the beast, the tiger got up and sauntered over to them both. He was just about to branch out and lick Brand's hand but, Arioch appeared. There was an immediate shift in moods when the female elf appeared. He could tell she was someone of importance with the way she carried herself into the bath. However, whatever she was it didn't change the vibe he was feeling toward her.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:green">How dare she talk to him that way...</span>Firu looked at the elf, then up at its master slightly tilting its head to the side.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:limegreen">Please master don't go flipping out.</span>The tiger insisted nuzzling his master's thigh.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:green">Do you really doubt my patience that mu--</span>he couldn't even finish his thought as the word "naked" finally clicked inside of his head. A deep blush tinted his pale cheeks, as his eyes drifted low to see his long lost friend was naked. He hadn't even noticed....and he was glad he didn't. He'd hugged him naked. Most likely if he were aware he would have wound up fainting or something, becoming a corpse of sorts for Firu to drag back to the room.<br/><br/>He quickly shook his head just a bit, to allow his dark bangs to conceal his red cheeks when Valen, and then even Altima had greeted him. He managed a small smile toward the other's with a bashful wave. Just as he did Altima was beginning to leave.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:limegreen">I wonder why she's leaving.</span>Tsu shrugged his shoulders at the tiger's thought.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:green">Perhaps it's cause misses doom and gloom has showed up....</span>Tsu'ro replied as he ran his fingers through his hair. Once Altima left, Tsu began trying to recollect himself. The sight of Brand naked was just almost too much for him.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:gold">"Wait....why does my tiger have to wait outside?"</span>he suddenly blurted out looking down at the elf.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:gold">"It's not like he's gonna suddenly attack you or anything..."</span>he added on as  he looked down at the white tiger.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:gold">"Right?"</span>he should have been obvious then that he could speak to the animal on a telepathic level as the beast shook his head 'no', to the male's question.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:gold">"See...very obedient..."</span>he said with a reassuring smile.
