IN THE SUMMER SILENCE,
I WAS GETTING VIOLENT
I WAS GETTING VIOLENT
The psuedo-melanistic tigress enjoys the night; she always considers herself luckier in a hunt when under the cover of darkness. Besides, living in a tropical place like this with her pelt's high black coloration meant stepping outside into the hot sun instantly felt like a bad idea. Instead, she became mostly nocturnal, becoming active only when the town's daily hustle and bustle slowed.
Tonight, like any other night, she wandered out to the beach first to catch a swim while the water hadn't yet lost all the warmth it soaked up during the day. However, she spots the form of the half-drowned cheetah on the wooden pier with Jericho's smaller form following shortly thereafter. She walks toward them, her late-night swim forgotten for now, as she intends to deal with this stranger. She knows that Jericho is altogether too trusting and too vulnerable, so if the stranger turned violent, she doubted anything could be done without intervention from someone like her. Compared to most everyone in Sunhaven, save for her own flesh and blood, Quantum is a giant - and she knows it.
Stepping into the scene properly now, she sees that the cheetah is a typical specimen for his species - besides the mutations and scars, that is. But Quantum pays more attention to assessing him as a potential threat; besides, his strangeness hardly bothers her. With her bone gauge earings and snake bone necklace, she hardly makes for a typical tigress herself. "What's your name and where're you from?" she asks, her words jumping from her mouth as soon as the tiny feline finishes asking about the cheetah's condition. Quantum, in usual style, lacks patience for waiting to ask her questions - likewise, she holds little patience as she expects an answer.
