Laly's strong nose easily picked up the strong musk of male. The scent sending her mind reeling with possibility and promise. With a shake of her head she pushed the biological desires to the back of her head; Laly knew she needed to diffuse the situation. Considering Crest's actions any of those onlooking villagers would likely come to conclusion that she was an unwilling captive of the well-endowed black beast clinging to her. Unsuccessfully trying to dislodge herself from Crest grip she pleaded,<br/><br/>"Oh no no you have it all wrong, you see we killed all the Toad Hats, together!" She stressed the last work for effect, "Crest isn't dangerous at all, more like a big child," Laly continued wholeheartedly hoping the newcomers would understand  her frantic explanation. The squirrel pointed in the direction of the field of massacred corpses, "See?!" Laly pressed the issue. An awkward silence passed over the clearing the newcomers assessing th situation in light of the squirrel pleas to do so. "Like Crest said, "What we get?" she asked seriously expecting some measure of compensation for their deeds.<br/><br/>The crowd shifted their attention from her to the panther an back again the situation all too strange to draw any concrete conclusions upon. The squirrel could just be reciting what the monster told it to say; but on the other hand despite it's massive member Crest seemed utterly harmless. All and all a hard decision but most of the throng decided to lower their pitchforks and clubs in response, "you're sure you are not in any danger girl?" one asked.<br/><br/>Laly's stomach grumbled in response and if anyone could see past her thick coat they would see that  the squirrel was blushing; her crimson fur covering up the change."I am sure good sir," she responded honestly more hungry than anything., "The two of us just need a good meal and a good nights rest!" she pressed on hoping they would believe her words. The pair had quite literally saved the village from disaster and a severe case of the butt hurt. any sensible person would be more than happy to grant the squirrel's purely reasonable demands.<br/><br/>"Y-yes, right away" the one in charge responded ordering the rest to lower their weapons, "We ill provide you the best of care for as long as you wish to stay!" he stated clearly grateful for their work.
