Murdain choked slightly on his wine and put the cup down, hearing Nikoletta's words, and walking a bit closer to her, tapped her on the shoulder with Mage Hand, mouthing: 'Not followed, brought.' He'd not intended to impede her unless she... Well, no, that was doubtful, but he walked closer anyway.

Niko glances at the magical hand on his shoulder then rolls her shoulder away from it and pushes the door open anyway, prepared for the worst.

The cats have already taken over. Two of the kittens are rolling together in the floor playing. Another two are crawling over a summoned beast who seems extremely underwhelmed by it all but is doing as commanded as best it can. One of the kittens has knocked yhe milk over and is currently laying in the puddle locking milk off itself.

 

The last seems to be missing until you notice the pillow on the bed. Its managed to climb up the side if the bed and found a warm spot under the pillow to nap.

Niko actually drops her sword when she sees them. Immediately she turns to Souris, her face reminiscent of a mother who just found her child playing in the mud.

As his information was ignored, Murdain isnt far from when Niko turns. "It was my idea." He announced flatly, stepping in her way. "I roped her into helping. Please close the door, they're a little too energetic."

"Are those..." Aaliyah's eyes widen with excitement, the chastising Niko was about to deliver forgotten already. "Displacer kitties!!!!!!!!!!!!"

 

She blows past Murdain and Aaliyah into the room and plops into the floor. "Oh my God they have little skippity pap tentacles."

Ved sighs at the appearance of these kittens, puts the pitcher of ale down, and takes a thick burlap sack out of his pack. "I'll take care of it. Where's the nearest river to here?"

[Rejakor]

 

When the werewolf gets up, Draysus gets up too. He's a bit lost in this setting of drinking adventurers, with his burning need to get more information out of them balanced by the fact that none of them seem much inclined to give it. Patience is something he's learned, so he's biding his time while pretending to drink from the cup he's been given - he's thirsty, but not thirsty enough to drink something with alcohol in it.

There will be water somewhere, later.

While he thinks his fake-drinking is pretty impressive, it's painfully obvious to any outside observer that the quantity of ale in the mug is not going down.

In any case, the prospect of action perks him up. He's on his feet and after the werewolf instants after she starts moving, axe at the ready. He never really untensed, so he doesn't tense up but his focus seems to sharpen slightly to that vaguely inhuman glare that makes him look like he's possessed by a demon.

When the door is opened and reveals the displacer beast babies, though, he straightens up a little, and lets the bottom of his axe hit the floor with a thud.

"Oh." He pauses as he considers his words. "One of your number is a beast tamer, I see." He frowns. "Or will you sell them?"

"Ved..." she grabs a kitten and shoves it in his face. "Pet it for five minutes, give it scritches, and if you still want to drown them all, I'll make sure you get buried when Souris eats your face off."

Souris shrunk under the drow's gaze, nodding when Murdain decided to take the blame. If she'd known about them herself of course she would have done the same, but since she didn't well... it was his fault. Though she might have noticed when she went back for the displacer hide. "I couldn't just leave them there."

She would have elaborated but she was already spinning towards Ved a his comment and Aaliyah claiming that Souris would eat his face. "Ew gross, no I wouldn't... I'd probably give his neck a nibble though. They seem pretty smart for cubs, I think I can train them easily enough. I'm no beastmaster or anything but I think the most important bit is keeping them fed..."

She didn't bother to mention normal cats tended to kill for fun. These things would definitely be deadly when they grew up. "It might be best if we each take one, then we can keep them more occupied and out of trouble... but then Aaliyah's had enough of this sort of thing and wants to head downstairs so, I'll take her's."

[Rejakor]

When the druid, who was better known to draysus as the 'large wolf' said 'all of us' the ragged man definitely did not consider that to include him. The 'us' was the group, the.. adventuring company?... that all of these adventurers belonged to.

There must be a sixth member he doesn't know about.

Maybe it's that lady who brought the money? You know, the surcoat one.

He leans forwards on his axe, looking at the little creatures. These guys must have some sort of plan. They wouldn't just raise up what are clearly monsters without some means to stop them attacking people. Or.. would they?

It's probably impoilite to ask. At least without thinking carefully about the phrasing.

"There is no chance any of you have thought this through. You cannot train such a beast... I fear you will try and fail and some child will be the first victim and it will be you his parents come for first. If you've not the heart to slay them, see them somewhere else and let nature run its course."

 

When Souris suggests each of them taking one, she shakes her head vigorously. "I will not be responsible for more lives for such an arrogant adventure as this. I cannot imagine this town you're from will tolerate it either once they become too large to hide them. One? Perhaps you had a chance. Six? Is Aaliyah not from a lush woodland you can see them to?"

"I thought it through plenty. Not killin' em, or lettin' em be killed." Flatly refused Murdain. "I've lived to sixty-four, an' am an adult, far as I'm concerned too much blood on my hands; I'll avoid it when I can. I'll take one fer training. Cant say fer rest of you. If nobody but me, Aaliyah, an' Souris wants one, then I'll see about finding them a home. I dont plan to stick around this town anyway." The thought that she considered herself 'responsible' for him made nasty feeling come up somewhere in the back of his throat that was reminiscent of the beginning of a growl. His parents were dead, and he needed no volunteers - however old or young they may be. It was far too touchy of a topic.

"I think this is a terrible mistake. I only hope you realize it before some is dead, or many someone's." Niko isn't going to try and stop them. As Murdain said, they were adults and could make their own choices.
