Terra entered the mansion in about the middle of everyone and she turned to watch the last of the group enter and was surprised to see Ryu pushing a wagon with an enormous fish on it.  She tilted her head at the strange woman that accompanied him but her attention is pulled away at Helena's words.  She looked around the room at the other fighters in the hall and was not impressed by any of them save a dominating man with a sword like her old friend Cyan's and her new competitor Ryu's but he also had a ridiculous amount of hair that Terra deemed a hindrance.  Except for a second glance at the man with too much hair she ignored the other competitors completely for her main worry were the ones she arrived with because she had seen them in action.  Not to mention the others seemed standard chocobo fodder.<br/><br/>She turned back to her new companions and watched them with a small smile.  Even if in the end she would have to fight them she knew already she respected them a great deal.  Terra looked at a few of them a little closer, some of them could even end up as good friends.  She watched Tyger approach the feline type woman and went to study her a moment trying to place her into any type of category.  Tyger was right she was beautiful and she turned away quickly putting the woman in the unidentified category for now refusing to say the petty comment in her mind about cats.  Her eyes settled upon the angry woman and Emma, they would be good friends.  Perhaps Emma could help the other open up and Terra smiled again.  She would have to learn the angry woman's name when that moment happened.  Terra blinked when she heard her name for Tyger from Yuna's lips.  She had originally intended the name to show him she was not afraid not necessarily to land him a nickname.  Her lips tightened as they all turned to leave and she coughed trying to suppress the possessive feeling she had over the name.  It was simply a name, nothing more, and she had no rights to prevent others from using it.<br/><br/>She turned to Ryu and his new companion without a smile.  He had disappeared for far too long and had ended up with more weapons, a giant fish, and a cat-girl.  She tilted her head at the cat-girls words and the consistent pushing of Ryu's foot and a huge smile spit her face.  "You better feed your new kitten Ryu, she seems to be hungry."  Terra turned to the woman with her smile.  "I like you, do you have a name?  And don't worry if you aim for his sides,"  Terra gestured towards one of the most ticklish area's, "and poke him there he is bound to give in."  She laughed playfully and avoided any look Ryu might be giving her.  After the woman's comments Terra turned to leave to make her way to her own quarters (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=101024.0)  Exhaustion hit her as she looked for a someone to show her the room she would be staying it.  She had expended a lot of energy physically and magically today and she was slipping in her control to not have emotions, to just watch and learn from everyone without comment.  With respect would come friendship and that would just make everything harder.  A wry smile appeared on her face, friend or not she still would have set the cat-woman on Ryu.  It was far too entertaining.
