Rhyas looked to her and purred, though he was worried that the people would hurt him. Though he looked away from her when she mentioned ale and dug his paw in a tight grip. He jumped from her arms and sat on the bench curling up. He shifted and looked to her, his violet eyes flickering, "I don't want to see an ale near me... it... never brought me good." he said quietly. Looking away he ran a hand through his black hair and flicked his ears, "I'd rather have you close by till I feel better on my own." his tail curled as he pulled his legs up to his chest and sighed. He'd turn into a cat once they got there and once he was ready to be measured he'd shift back into a human.
