Heading Out

Cassie was distracted as she had been a lot these days and was also on her way down the stairs she turned the corner and almost ran right into the man.

"Excuse me I'm sorry."

She looked at the woman and smiled. "Hello, I'm Casandra." She smiled. "I was heading downstairs and almost ran itnto this man here."

She smiled softly and nodded.

"Yes I'm new here. Then what is his name?"

Inion was coming in from a walk in the garden, she was soaking wet cause it was raining. She loved the rain and just had to go out in it. Ditching the dark clothes she was now dressed in a purple t shirt and jean shorts and her gloves, al of which was soaking wet. She glance around gave her wings a shake and left them open to dry faster. Heading up to her room she ran into a small group of people, a smile on her face she approached them. Of course Aiden was the first person she saw and she stopped to give him a kiss on the cheek from her rain stained lips "Hello my dear, You heading out?"

She then turned her attention to the ladies given them a friendly smile "hello i don't believe we have met, I am Inion." she held out her gloved hand, blushed when she remembered she was wet. "sorry its raining outside and it was to nice to be inside." She closed her wings and moved a bit closer to Aiden slipping something into his pocket.

She smiled at the woman in return.

"Hello Inion, I'm Casandra"

She shook the outstreched hand not minding that it was wet.

Soaking wet ball of black fur came flying in their direction. Upon seeing them with those huge terrified eyes he tried to stop bu instead at around 50 mph went tumbling and sliding across the floor like he was on a slip and slide and smashed back first into the wall.

"Ho he has not."

She listened a bit more..

"Well hello Adien."

The next thing she knew there was someone sliding acrossed the floor and he crashed into the wall hard when Cas got a good look at him she saw he was not only covered in fur but was soaked to the bone. The healer in her took over .

"Quick someone get me a blanket."

She then moved to kneel beside the anthro, yes she knew what he was. Her voice soft as she spoke to him.

"Will you let me check for broken bones?"

She made no quick movements she did not know what had happened and was not going todo something that might frighten him away if he needed her help.

He was already pushing himself to his feet his eyes darting towards the people who crowded this area. He spotted first Inion then Vesta. He took a deep breath before speaking very calmly. His shaking and wild eyes betrayed that quiet voice though. He was sure at least a rib was broken.

"I am fine, i not need help. Do not touch me. It warm in here."

He nodded, he was ahving trouble articulating since he was so shaken up.

She spoke in a calm sooting voice.

"But you are soked and y0ou may be hurt you hit that wall pretty hard."

She looke at his eyes.

"No one here will hurt you, I'm Cassie."

"Not worried about who will hurt me."

That comment was very suggestive indeed. His ears were layed back despite the fact that a few friends were around. He waas more concerned about the strangers. He had come into hte building for the first time and saw no one familiar. He had freaked out hten but now he was calming down.

"I am Sky. Nice to meet you. I not like being touched."

She smiled softly.

"Will you at least take a blanket?"

(I am just going to assume someone gave me one)

She held it out to him.

"Please?"

He had no clue what a blanket was. He reached out a hand hesitantly and felt a pain shoot through his side. He then took his other hand and smacked his side. An audible wet noise brought him to his knee. He quickly recovered and took the blanket from her.

"No... Now what do i do with it?"

You could definatly tell he was feral.

"Sky it is to dry your self off with."

She watched him as he moved.

"Sky you broke something or bruised it baddly please you need to let me check you over, I promise to be gental."

"I not like to be touched... How do i dry with this?"

He held the blanket up in his hand. He was very nervous about it it looked to him like a filled in net. He didn't think she was trapping him but if she was he wasn't going to be happy.

"Just rub your fur with it."

He begins to stroke his fur with the blanket. It did sem to warm him up and dry him off. So he ebgan to rub more vigorously. He was careful with his side, any touch shot pains through him.

"You new Cassssandrrra?"

"Yes I am new here."

She looked at him and it was clear he was still in pain.

"I'm a healer please let me help you I can take away the pain but I will have to touch your side for a couple minutes."

"I will be ok. Will heal fine... Please do not touch me. I not so new but new to inside. Not know way around."

He looked around the inside now that he had calmed a bit and realized how nic and warm it was in here. He took a sniff and also realized the thick smell.

She nodded she would not force him to accept her help it was not her way.

"If you change your mind I will still help you."

She smiled.

"Well welcome to the inside of the Inn."

"Thank you... Welcome to inn. You welcome to everything"

His speech defiantly hid the wisdom of the years he had seen. He looked down at hte soaking blanket, and his mostly dry fur.

"Bl.. blain.. kit? It wetter then my fur now. What should i do?"

He held it up to her, taking a few steps forward. He had managed to retract his claws at least. He found Cassandra easy to trust that much.

She smiled as she took it from him.

"I'll take care of it."

Right now she was glad Kjay wasen't with her because he might have scared the anthro.

"Do you plan to stay inside?"
