The squirrel's little parlor trick had truly given Laly the easy end of the stick in the heated melee. The fact that crest had torn into at least half- a dozen aggressors before she had ven even arrived didn't hurt either. Laly was in a far better state than her companion with no injuries worth noting the only thing she had to complain about was the rancid smelling goo that had somehow splattered across patches of brilliant copper fur dulling it's sheep a matted maroon.<br/><br/>Wrinkling her nose in disgust Laly returned to her pleasant, girl-ish personality with the tension of combat abated. Satisfied her adversaries were adequately dispatched she immediately spun around to check on Crest. Sporting a look of utter dismay Laly wasted no time bounding to her protector's side." A-are you OK? Does it hurt? I'll get some bandages!" she sputtered the squirrel's frantic words words running together in an almost incomprehensible mess.Paws rummaged through her satchel until producing a roll of bandage and vial of medical ointment.<br/><br/>Laly stared at the panther-thing dumbfounded at it's request for food. Deciding he MUST be OK if he's thinking with his stomach so soon after an adrenaline high. "Well I know there is a town nearby and we did just save them from a case of sore asses so I'm certain they'd be quite inviting, in fact I'd imagine they'll be sending a militia out this way soon, that racket we made,... you made, could probably be heard for miles." Despite her words she wondered if that were true. People were paranoid in the world today and Crest's manhood made him look more monster than man. She busied herself bandaging Crest's wounds herself feeling somewhat responsible for his injuries. The ointment would sting but she was certain the colossal  feline could deal with it.<br/><br/>Casting her eyes down the grass knoll in the direction of the town she spoke Laly could see her predictions were correct. A small mob of villagers brandishing weapons of opportunity were marching in their direction. The party down field was certainly prepared for the possibility of violence, each of them probably thinking they were walking into a small party of trouble maker monsters. Though distance she could see there were quite a diverse ground with members from at least four different local races among their number. Laly sighed softly hoping this development wouldn't spark more trouble.
