His voice was like thunder to her ears, deep and rumbling over her. Her arms tightened around Kalina as she felt the werepanther stir.<br/><br/>There was a low growl from her love before she paused. Soteria caught the glint of an idea in those beautiful eyes before her kitten reached up and placed a soft hand upon the large one around her throat. Kalina spoke softly to him, saying there were other things he could take. Oh, yes. A chance at freedom. Finally.<br/><br/>She turned her head, still holding tight to her kitten as she looked over the thief. Her eyes widened at the size of him, the muscle, but she kept her calm. "You can take us, stranger. We are the last of our kind, but we would make wonderful companions." She wasn't sure what that would entail for a man such as this, but for freedom, it was worth the try. They could always outsmart and escape him later.<br/>
