((OOC: Open to anyone, just no killing the spider please :x ))
Oh god, oh god, why was he here again? Why did he always come here, to this damn shopping center, always! Mind you, they sold that tasty extra dark creamy chocolate that he absolutely loved but but...He twitched. There was so many people here. So many, all of them so close together, and brushing against him and one of them smelt like a wolf!
Thane squeaked, turned quickly, nearly getting whiplash and calmed down. Even if it was a were, what were the chances of him sniffing him out? Not many weres he was sure knew about the fennec foxes, and even could place there scent. But..just to be sure, he picked up the pace a bit, wiping himself and his rather bulky coat and shoulder bag towards the chocolate store. It was not the only thing he was here for, but a little bit of chocolate would just be the perfect thing to pick him up. And plus, who didn't like chocolate?
While the tall, lanky and pale man, crouched in on himself as if waiting for a smack, browsed the chocolates, his hand slipped into his bag and his face lost all color. Ice blue eyes widened, and he opened the flap, rifling through the entire thing.
"Oh no oh no oh no..." Where was she?! Sibera never ran away, she always came back, but, if she had smelt food...he stared up at the walls, the ceiling, and much to his dismay, the nearly foot long, black furry spider was sitting quite happily on top of one of the displays, a fresh killed wasp in her grasps.
There was a shriek from the young woman working the counter who spotted the spider as well, and Thane watched her dive under the counter, his ear tips beginning to lengthen a bit in his utter fear and worry.

((Popping in with a char. Hope you don't mind.  )) Que Yue had decided to cut out of school early. Last class, math? Ha! Numbers and English. Like that would mix well with her. Though she did feel bad for not going to her classes, she had the attention span of a four year old and would much rather be doing something fun, like shopping. So she'd walked from the school to the mall, getting lost quite a few times on the way, and now that she was here, she was quite proud of herself for finally figuring it out on her own. And she had a lot of pretty clothes to keep her entertained. She'd just come out of the fitting room, setting a pile of clothes on the return rack, when the woman at the counter decided to shriek. Que Yue looked around in confusion, not seeing anything out of the ordinary, shrugged and continued on to another rack of clothes, peering excitedly them, thinking about getting a new outfit or few. That was when she saw the spider. The big FREAKING HUGE spider. She stared at it for a long moment in silent horror, her hand frozen on top of the rack next to it, before squeaking and throwing herself away. Dear gracious goodness, she was really terrified of spiders. Especially big ones. Before most could even begin to follow her movements, she was behind another rack on the far end of the store, hiding out. If it didn't see her, it couldn't get her? Right? Riiiiiight? How'd a tarantula get into the store anyway? A spider!!!!! |

((No I dont mind, the onlyt hing is I said he was in a chocolate store XP but i can work around that))
There was more people screaming now, a pretty young girl who he watched dash behind a near by clothing stores rack, and he blanched more. This was not good, because now people were turning to see what she was screeching about along with the counter girl(how could girls even be that LOUD? he wondered), and poor Sibera was realizing that they at least were screeching because of her, and she began to get more agitated. An agitated spider was a bad thing, especially one with venom that could down an actual human in no time flat. Not to mention, the girl who was hiding behind the clothing rack as if it mattered.
Thane watched Sibera leave her left over snack, scuttling down the ramp to go see what this screaming was about. She was not a deadly spider, in fact she was quite nice, but screaming bugged her, a lot, and it hurt her sensitive body. Perhaps if she just did what her 'master' enjoyed, which was to curl calmly on his shoulder, this screeching thing would be quiet before her hunger rages rose again. It didn't matter that this wasnt her master and most likely wouldn't appreciate her even NEAR this screeching human. She didn't know better.
The spider was a few scant inches from the girl when thane acted, his ice blue eyes widening, and an odd, wierd sandy tint to his cheeks and arms as he moved. He scooped up Sibera, his eyes falling on the girl with worry. She hadn't been bitten, he knew that, but on top of his worry for her squalling as if she was dying, there was even more people whispering and talking behind him about the spider, which was making him lose his very scant control over his animal nature.
It wouldn't take anything but a curious person to realize his ears were really pointed, and the delicate hairs forming the tips were not his naturally darker brown hair.
"Um.." He twitched, eyes covering the ground, the girl, then the crowd before back to the ground. "Um.." What to do what to say?! "She wont hurt..you she's ..ah.." Well that wouldnt make her stop screaming! "um..she's a nice spider.."

Que Yue gave one last resounding squeak as the boy scooped up the spider, and she scooted back as close to the wall as she could get.
Not a word of what he said was understood, but his tone was very nice. Polite.
"I... um... ehm.... er.... Eep." She pointed shakily at the spider and then hid her head behind her drawn up knees. Spiders were scary. Especially when they followed her. They really were coming for her! She wasn't just paranoid, right? "Thank... you?"

He frowned, carefully making sure the spider was back in the bag, and it was closed and at his side before he offered the girl his hand, his skin once more normal toned but his ears were oddly pointed if one took the time to look.
He didn't think most people were THAT scared of spiders, but she did thank him, which bode well, and meant she at least had manners for her age.
"Here, let me help you up." the twitchy man mumbled, trying to seem like nothing at all hapened, and thankful that most everyone was walking away now that the screaming had stopped. "She wouldn't have hurt you, really. She actually liked you." That didn't help did it? Telling a frightened human that a spider liked them was like telling them a mask murderer wanted to stab them, happily.
"She wanted to make you stop screaming, thats all. The vibration from your screaming hurt her.' And now he was babbling, and a deep crimson blush spread over his features. "Ah..sorry."

Compared to all that he'd said, this was what she'd understood:
Here, let me help you...
She... liked you...
Sorry...
And Que Yue? She chose to ignore the 'she liked you' comment and instead just pretend that the spider was gone for good, everything was okay, and take the nice man's help. Heart still pounding in her ears, she took the offered hand and pulled herself upright. Not that there was much difference between sitting and standing for her, she was just so ridiculously short. It was then she saw his oddly pointed ears. Of course, she didn't really think anything of it, not much. A little interesting, but nothing out of the ordinary. Her mind was not one to jump to the supernatural, at all, ever.
But she couldn't help herself from standing on her tip toes, and reaching up to poke one of them, giggling infectiously. Why yes, she was very childlike. Kind of went along with looking like a twelve year old, even though she was older.

He couldn't help but smile when she stood up, because she was just that short. His smile was in no way rude though, just amused and faintly tender if anything. He wasn't tall himself, but she was really dwarfed next to him, and while she looked exceptionally young, he figured her avid star and curiousity that he could see was not because she was that young but merely just because it was her. She couldn't be as young as she looked anyway, not the way she carried herself.
He dropped his hand the minute she was up though, because while he enjoyed close contact(he was after all a cross specie of a canine and he enjoyed being pet), he didn't want her thinking he was some sort of pervert. But when she leaned forward, still not having said much but a giggle, he froze and turned even more pallid in tone. He gently grabbed her hand, frowning at her, but he couldn't help looking like he was about to bolt and run away. He didnt know his ears were pointy, and his own hand went up there to feel the slightly pointed flesh and he made a sound of pain, flicking his hair over them to cover it up.
"Um..those are.." He didnt think she even spoke english, and he sighed, pointing at his ear and shook his head, covering his mouth in hopes she would get the hint. Dont say anything about them. For all she knew, it was purely cosmetic, like people getting their tongue split to look like snakes. And he hoped she would think that.
"Do you speak english?" He asked hopefully. Maybe he could get it through to her that he wasn't some misborn freak or something..and apologize better for Sibera.
