"Is that supposed to be some kind of joke?" he said in a low growl. He turned to her and walked towards her, closing the distance between them. He was pissed. "Do you really not know why we have all been forced flee here?!"<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Shima was taken aback by the man's sudden ferocity. What could be so awful to bring about such anger?  She had only asked a simple question.  She felt the wave of emotion and his growling voice stirred within her.  That which was beast, opened it's lazy eye and stretched her being.  A tail lashed and then it closed it's eye once more.  it would take more than that to awaken it but it was enough to step forward and get in the man's face, regardless of how much taller he was.  She managed to look up at him and still hold her ground.  Silver eyes flashing ire and her hair whisping about her as if the breeze played with her, she poked the tiger in the chest.<br/><br/>"No I don't!  How am I suppose to know anything if I've been sleeping for the last century or so.  And why do you need to flee?  Are we not powerful enough?  How can you flee when we are made to fight, to hunt...to lead," Shima said, having only more questions but the last made her voice trail away.  She became distracted by a thought that filled her with guilt.  Like she should have been doing something.  Her head turned sharply as another approached.  She inhaled bear and found his hearty smile comforting and she flashed a dazzling smile back. When she turned to look at the weretiger, her smile slipped and she felt sad.  He had been truly upset.<br/><br/>"Jerome," Shima said, testing the name.  She stepped away from the angry young man and addressed them both.  "I am Shima.  I only wish to know why so many gather here.  Perhaps I was too forward....it has been a while since I was around others."<br/><br/>
