Karogen frowns. "No.  I'm saying furs and humans are exactly the same.  We both have badguys, we both have goodguys.  And trust me, the beserker juice is no addiction.  I'm not even sure if it can BE addicting.  I had my reasons for taking it.  First time was just to find out how long it lasts on a human.  Second time... well... nevermind."<br/><br/>--------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>Sherra frowned.  If she told the little girl the truth right now, she doubted she would be able to move her from that spot.  Even if it made Feldana hate her later, she'd have to lie.<br/>"Yes, dear.  The badguys are probably just gonna keep her hostage so they can have ransom.  We're on our way to Kazmer to get help for everyone over here.  You're an important person, dear, so we need to find a safe spot for you along the way.  But right now, we need to get out of here before the badguys see us, okay?"<br/><br/>--------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>Emiko nodded. "Nah, I don't think that would be an offense calling them that- Karogen often told us to be just that during protests- dead weight.  I think it's kind of funny, actually.  Fur gaurds would be completely astounded and confused about what to do.  Some of them looked like they wanted to attack us, but wouldn't.  Guess there is SOME honor in the ranks of leadership in Kazmer, because none of us were ever harmed during a peace protest.  Spit on and laughed at, maybe, but not harmed."<br/><br/>"Well," Jenten said.  "A kid spit in my eye once.  That kinda hurt.  Good thing I'm half-blind already, or I would have worried about losing my eye-sight."  He shook his head. "And so far this path is safe- you may not have heard it, but I've been clicking off my sonar from time to time.  For the next fifty meters, there are only two people outside that are not in line-of-view.  Probably just people going about thier lives, since the fighting isn't in thier neighborhoods."  He laughs.  "I wish I would be able to see thier faces when a crowd this size just marches right past thier house."
