“Of course it hurts! It's attached to me isn't it?! Whats wrong with you!?” She shrieked keeping her tail closely tucked close to her body so as to prevent it from being yanked or pulled on by Mira. Tala had been startled and she wasn't used to that at all... Most people she had met ran away as fast as they could at the sight of her GrimScythe. Most six foot, four inch tall tattooed warrior woman wielding a Scythe  that was easily 3 times the size of a normal one was usually enough. Her eyes were slits and her ears fall back close to her head as her irritation grew. Not letting her tail swish around free was some what annoying but having it yanked on was even worse!<br/><br/>The girl stared back at her and started talking about petting her like she was so kind of animal and Tala pointing her massive weapon  at Mira to put emphasis behind her words, “I am no animal nor anyone's 'Pet'!” She hissed threateningly, “Woe to the fool that ever thinks they can force me to act like one!” she spat feeling insulted as she hopped down off the counter and continued on her search. Keeping a closer eye on her tail and Mira before she had some other part of her body yanked painfully on... Looking at her from time to time to make sure she yank on her ears next!<br/><br/>Mira looked like she was going to cry and though she didn't want to see the young woman cry, she wasn't about to do anything about it either. Tala was the one with the aching rear appendage, “Cry if you want... I don't care...” she said flatly. She didn't, the world was too dark and grim for her to be worried about some sixteen year old girl crying because someone got mad at them for yanking on someone's tail. Tala walked out the back an found the area lead to what she could only figure was a servant quarters, the many beds still perfectly preserved in their entirety. Walking though a few more areas they finally entered a long hall that exited to an area that looked like it had once been some kind of garden though the strangest one she had ever seen.<br/><br/>The area was secured by a two story wall and ran around the enclosed area. A large pool of water still flowed like a stream from a miniature waterfall. The far side was overrun with large thick trees that looked like it didn't belong though it lead to a glorious door way that Tala assumed was the entrance for  the Exalted that once lived here. Walking out into the fading light she made note that there was a way into the manse, noting they needed to secure that entrance but first things first. Tala scented the air and took in the many scents before turning to Mira, assuming she had followed her, and spoke. “We'll need to secure that door before night fall. I'd rather not have any uninvited guests... lets see what we have here all...” she spoke plainly before walking towards the miniature woods that had obviously not been planned. The thick area of bushes and cherry trees might have fooled many, but she knew better. The plants and trees had grown out of the prearranged plan of the Gardner, the mixture of strange plants in the scene was almost alien to her.<br/><br/>Walking into the shade of the trees she boldly started searching the area to make sure nothing had decided to make this their new home. Smelling deeply of the many wilder scents Tala couldn't help but feel her frustration of a moment ago fading rabidly away. This was more her style and it was pretty to boot! “I think after we seal up the back door, this place should be secure and safe... time to start discussing dinner...” she said with a smack of her lips. She was getting hungry and wanted to eat already! Tala just couldn't resist the urge to see what this one last place ever since she viewed it from afar. The blanket of cherry blossoms that lay covering the ground had enticed her to see it more closely, and the fine scents of wild flowers mixed with the cherry blossoms was wild and untamed. “What you have to eat around this place, or am I going hunting quick to pick something up?” Tala said casually as if hunting was no harder then walking to the nearest inn and requesting a meal.
