The glaze of the stranger's eyes upon her and her Soteria. It took everything in her self control to not lose her temper. A temper that Soteria well knew was easily flared. Kalina was a Werepanther, and Werepanthers were easily angered. Though she did have good control, she made not a sound or a move, grateful that Konnin at least did not allow the man to touch them. If they were touched, that would be the end of her self control. This was suppose to be their freedom from a cage. Not to be taken from that cage and put into bondage and chains. Not that she couldn't get them away from this man, out of these chains. She was plenty strong enough to break chains in her panther form. But she still didn't like the situation.<br/><br/>Her displeasure with the whole thing was clearly shown in her eyes. She was glaring at the buyer as if she would like to spit in his face and bite off his nose. She also glared at Konnin, it was a warning glare that clearly stated her anger at being in this situation and desire for it to be over with. They were wasting time anyway. They needed to be further away from the palace, faster. She hoped the not so subtle glares would throw the buyer off. That he wouldn't want a slave with a attitude problem.<br/><br/>A sound from the distance caught hee attention. Human ears such as their thief would not be able to pick them up. But Kalina could, with her sensitive ears. Murmurs traveling from palace. She could not make out their words. But she knew what the tension in their tone meant. People were starting to notice the two girls were not where they were suppose to be.<br/><br/>She casted a glance at Konnin and subtly glanced back towards the palace. Subtle enough that the buyer did not notice it for he was currently staring at Soteria. But the look she gave Konnin, though short, said it all, the meaning was clear;<em>get this over with, we need to move, now!</em>
