==> A while ago, but I don’t remember when
Calling her slippery would be an understatement, but in the time before Davean arrived to help tie her down (for her safety, they had agreed, so she did not end up like Crowbro, they had agreed) Roseri caught her. It hadn’t been Duchess who was hiding.
She had been far past impatient when Roseri confronted her, and immediately lashed out. She was a cornered wild animal when it came down to it, and all of her instincts were pointing her out the door. Roseri tried to stay out of her reach until she smelled the scent of smoke that meant her moirail had arrived. When he came into view, Roseri tackled her lusus. There was a brief wrestling match before Roseri was instead the one being held fast, and she sustained heavy damage for her trouble from tooth and from claw.
If someone hadn’t been around, this fight may well have ended in a fatality, but Davean, saving grace that he was, made sure the sleep hold Roseri put on the big cat did not end in more tears than necessary.
She began yowling plaintively before Roseri’s wounds were even all patched up and this, unfortunately, did not stop.
