The Doctor's eyes widened as Carmine came charging for him, the ground shaking beneath his feet. Frozen in shock, he had no time to react as Carmine shoved him up on the wall, his rib cage starting to throb. His heart started to beat quickly, sweat forming on his forehead. A nervous smile formed on his face, his feet kicking at the wall under him.<br/><br/>"C-Carmine, you shouldn't be out yet, wh-what are you doing?" He gulped, looking from left to right, a guard standing there and watching, but not wanting to get near the brute. He had obviously just gotten off of his break, no visible weapons that would prove useful on Carmine visible on his body. The Doctor gulped and tried again, looking into Carmine's eyes. "C-Careful now, lion. You care about Sophia, I can tell. Things could be worse, you know. I-I could give her to a bar downtown, where all the drunks go. You know what kind of men go down there? Men getting away from their wives, looking for a fun time. Growing bored of their spouse's bodies and wishing for something... Younger. More... Pure. You wouldn't want something bad to happen to the poor girl, w-would you?" He gulped and glanced at the guard again, using his eyes to gesture to the fox on the ground.<br/><br/>The guard nodded and slowly made his way over, very slowly, staring at Carmine fearfully. It was the same guard that made a face at him this morning, and at this rate, he wouldn't get to Sophia before he soiled himself again.<br/><br/>________________________________________________________<br/><br/>Hector's face grew red at the touch from the leopard, gulping and twiddling with his fingers. "M-My name's Hector. I-I'm a lynx, a medical one at that. Erm... I'm supposed to be going with a fox to Duke Leopold's place. A combo deal. C-Cool, huh?"
