"Indeed. We're not going anywhere until this one is cleaned up," Alden noted, glancing down at Vitae. However, upon hearing the word 'clean', the werecat instantly stood on his legs, slowly backing away from Alden.<br/><br/>The collector sighed in annoyance. "Come now, Vitae, don't be such a baby. It's just a bath. We don't have time for you to have another tantrum--"<br/><br/>Vitae roared in Alden's face before he attempted to start bounding off. However, as he did so, Alden glared at the werecat, eyes narrowing as he gestured towards Vitae.<br/><br/>"<em>Vautruusk</em>." His voice seemed to echo slightly, the green runes on his arm band beginning to glow. It was at that point that the metal bands on Vitae's ankles and wrists started to light up with the same green runes, pulling themselves to the ground as Vitae let out a surprised cry. At this point, the werecat was forced face-down on the ground, his wrists and ankles bound to the dirt as Alden took slow, deliberate steps towards the werecat.<br/><br/>As the collector knelt down beside the monster, he feigned a look of calm, although his frown was still on his pale white face. "Now then...are you going to cooperate? Or do you want to stay stuck and think on it more?" he asked, an irritated growl coming out of his throat as he spoke.<br/><br/>As soon as he saw Vitae was done struggling, he snapped his fingers, his arm band once again glowing as the werecat was once again free to move.<br/><br/>"Now go. Go on. In the carriage. We do not have time for this nonsense," Alden told the monster, pointing to the entrance of the carriage.<br/><br/>Vitae grumbled a growl, but slowly slunk off to make his way back inside the carriage.
