Looking curiously onwards at the bandits assembled before them, Alura is somewhat caught off guard by the sudden pair of arms wrapping around her waist. She'd been ready to respond to any sort of hostile action on the enemy's part but not so much, a friendly snuggle.However, it takes the fairy all of a split second to recognize to whom the arms belonged , as the tip of her pointed ear is plunged into the hot, humid depths of Meeras mouth. Upon realizing just what was going on, Alura giggles cutely in response "Meera, now is not the time for ear nums." She would say, yet the tone of her voice was soft and sympathetic, even her body language was understanding, her wings gently bopping the catgirl on either side as they  slowly, and happily continue to flutter. Alura had come to realize this was something the catgirl did when she was nervous. Be it her or her sister, you could bet one of their ears was going to get suckled when they encountered a difficult situation.<br/><br/>The suckling itself was not all that bad either, as distracting as the wet sloppy sounds that played out in her ear where, the softness of her lips, the heat of her mouth, and the wetness of her tongue, where all together enjoyable even. So much so that Alura cannot help but imagine what it would feel like to have Meera's soft lips suckling and kissing upon other areas of her body. Of course the little nips weren't the greatest sensation, as the fae's ears where extremely sensitive, so much to the point that every little prick of the catgirl's sharp teeth sent little goosebumps shooting across her skin. In a strange way the suckles were even a little soothing, the lewd, wet noises of the catgirl's suckling lips echoing in her ear, letting her know she wasn't alone against these bandits, that if they so much as wanted to try and rob her, they'd need to pry the fairy from the strong catgirls arms in order to do so. Moreso than that, Alura recalls what the others of her group had said about her, that Meera had eaten all of the plump elve's friends...if the catgirl was capable of that...why surely she'd be able to help defend Alura should someone mean come to get her..could use those soft, lovely lips of hers to slurp them right up, to fill her tummy once more, and possibly even reveal to Alura the answer of that earlier question after their first meeting. Even though this was something Meera did to settle her own nerves, in a way it was working to reinforce Alura's as well.<br/><br/>As her ear is steadily slurped on, the fairy's eyes dart from bandit to bandit, watching as her gift of berries, and compliments are received with varying levels of gratitude. She was pleased to see that as a whole, her presence had served to calm the bandits from the rage that most of Johan's comments seemed to have produced, yet to see that only a small few chose to catch, or even try her berries caused her ears to droop just a little, the tip in Meera's mouth, likewise presses in against her tongue all the more readily as it pokes past her soft, velvety lips.<br/><br/>Makisa's puzzled expression is met by a smile from Alura "Of course your pretty, and eat you, well i never said anything about that... what the others do however is their business." she casually shrugs.<br/><br/>Ruli receives a little nod of acknowledgement from the fairy "It's super yummy, you should try it." Alura encourages, as she stows the offered berry away in her pouch for later.<br/><br/>The robed fellow merely receives a frown "Awww your no fun.." she mutters, quickly moving on to engage those more interesting.<br/><br/>The scorpion's dismissal of the berry causes Alura to pout, and after all the nice things she'd said about her..... yet what she proposes next would cause the fae's wings to stop in mid flutter, cause her blood to run hot and her ears to stand straight, Merra feeling the hot little tip bop against the roof of her mouth in turn. The words uttered in that thick accent would mark the scorpion out in Alura's mind as a target, a threat to be assessed and possibly even dealt with. Those that knew Alura recognized that despite her curious, playful and downright friendly nature, there was one thing the fairy took exceptionally serious, and that was the protection of her sister. Alura had been so bold as to aim her weapon at the godlike power of Disa for proposing to eat her sister, one could only imagine what she'd do to this far less intimidating scorpion girl... yet for the time Alura merely stays silent, narrowing her eyes just a little as she studies the details of the scorpion girl and her surroundings before casting her gaze elsewhere.<br/><br/>While Alura's muscles where still tense from the scorpion girl's comments, her expression softens considerably upon witnessing the pig girl's hand shoot out of the cover of her bush, nabbing up the berry only to noisily and happily consume it. "See! I told you they where good! Verdant Dawn fairy's pick the best berries!" she proclaims proudly, her wings returning to life as they bop excitedly against the sides of Meera once more.<br/><br/>Next came the kitties, Alura considered herself sort of an expert on making friends with kitties at this point, and while the higher of the two had her hand's full, the male seems to be no exception. He eagerly scarfing down not just his own, but his sibling's berry as well. "Ooooh two berries for you, this makes for double the yums" she explains smiling happily at the pair. "and don't worry, we have more if you want to put the bow down and try one!" she suggests to the archer with a smile.<br/><br/>Lastly was the orc, and while her words where kind enough, what she said painted the picture rather clearly in Alura's mind of how things where going to go down. While she would prefer to simply make friends with all these interesting races and people, to feed them berries, and have some fun with them... it appeared that no matter how friendly she was, they still intended to rob them anyway. While the price was not too awfully steep once makisa had fumbled her words...it was still more than she wanted to spend just to get past a few people on the road....and what about poor Yumina! she had no money....largely because her own friends had taken it from her, but still! Meera too, she still needed money to buy shoes! If she had none the bandits may even try and take her ring again...the ring Alura had insisted she keep as it was a gift from her mother... Alura then grits her teeth as she is reminded of her own mother, of her fate....Sasara gliding into sight as she makes her way towards the side of Yumina.... the fairy watching her body as it slithers through the grass, recalling all the fairy shaped bulges she'd witnessed squirming beneath blood red scales...  Her guns where like Meera's rings in a way, not a gift from or even owned by her mother, rather they where named in memory of...and she wasn't about to let these bandits take them.<br/><br/>The sound of Yumina drawing her sword, immediately demand's the fairy's attention. She grinning as the catgirl boldly stands up to the would be bandits, roaring and threatening the entire lot of them, going so far as to even turn the tides on them in a sense, by declaring that it was she who was robbing them. Everything Yumina said was true, poor kitty, she'd had such a rough day! It made Alura all the more proud to have been able to bring several smiles to her lips already, and at the mention of buying something pretty for the crazy fairy, Alura even blushes a little. One thing was for certain, Yumina's words had set a fire in the fairy's heart... if the bandits where not willing to back down, then she would just have to make them. If they wanted their things, if they wanted to hurt her or her friends, she would have to stop them, and most of all if they wanted her sister...she would end them.<br/><br/>"You there, Hadri is it?...you don't like Berries? You want to eat my sister instead you say?" Alura calls out whispering something under her breath, something Anastasia would recognize to have preceded the end of many would be attackers. 'Rin..grant me the power to protect the one's I love' without so much as another word, Alura raises her flower covered rifle, and before anyone can so much as react she's squeezed not one, but both triggers creating an explosive roar of sound, fire and smoke, the likes of which to dwarf both Yumina and Johan's outbursts,  spewing from the twin barrels. The destructive force unleashed a stark contrast to the overall beauty of the fairy and her hand crafted weapon, and her typically bubbly demeanor.<br/><br/>The scorpion girl, as well as all in attendance would soon realize the devastation the cute little fae was capable of unleashing, and one of the reasons the Iron boars had her along, for Alura's aim was true and her method sound. No sooner has her shot been fired is she releasing her hold on the rifle, dropping it to the ground, ammo spent and barrel's smoking, to retrieve her pistol from it's cute leafy holster. With practiced ease she removes the need to spend the time required to reload such a weapon as her rifle, a tactic the fairy has clearly employed on more than one occasion. With her pistol brandished she allows her magic to flow into it's leftmost barrel, lighting the length of it's exterior with dancing sparks and crackling energy, a marriage of magic and technology displayed for all to see. "Now then....anyone else wish to have a go at my sister?" Alura states confidently, locking the left most hammer into place with an audible click. With her pistol armed,  Alura shoots Yumina a wry little grin, as if to say 'so whadya think?'<br/><br/>With her free hand Alura reaches back, first patting Meera's side, as if to apologize for the sudden boom from her rifle, only to slip further still to briefly grasp Anastasia's hand. "The ew, got pewed." she whispers back, letting her sister know she wasn't going to let anyone harm her.<br/><br/><br/>Alura<div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">HP - 19/19<br/>AC - 20<br/>CMD - 16<br/><br/>Using a standard action to fire both barrels of her weapon at Hadri, taking into account the accuracy penalty <br/>a free action to drop her rifle then a swift to enhance a barrel of her pistol with +2 and the shock enhancement, expending glitter dust to do so.
