Location: The Griffin
Synopsis: Saeko meets Rasputin!
Cast of Characters: Saeko, Thomas Blake




Saeko has posed:
A day in the Griffin, so far Saeko was unsummoned. After a visit to make an offering to Inari directly, the kitsune had returned to the world of motals and...was currently brushing her hair.

With the imps giving her space, Saeko simply drew the brush through her deep black locks in a lazy, luxuriating fashion.

Thomas Blake has posed:
Where does a 600 lb. Siberian tiger go when he is set loose? Anywhere he wants. The imps and Bloord were busy in the basement, enlarging Rasputin's den to something worthy of the big cat. This included an indoor pool, sunlamps and foliage. Thomas was supervising when an imp left the door open and Rasputin in need of quiet and a nap left the basement yet again. The front door was closed but really no obstacle. But, Rasputin like all cats was curious. Perhaps he would find the woman thing Thomas liked and show her he did not fear her. Meh. Who cares what others think? Not a cat. But some faint sounds above piques his interest. An exquisite scent reached his nostrils. He went into stalking mode out of habit. Better to be quiet and not need to than be noisy. He scaled the steps. Claws like scythes barely scratched the floor. He pushed open the bedroom door. There. Dog thing smell, perfume, other nice smells. He watched the tails flow and silently padded into the room. Kill? Flee? Nap?

Saeko has posed:
There were some advantages to being a spirit of magic and divinity...it was easier to notice some of the creatures of nature about her. That and well...those pointed fox ears were not just for show.

There was a look of surpise, after all one didn't usually expect to find a full grown tiger walking around freely even in a place like this. Turning to face the creature, her brush was set aside slowly and there was a tolt of her head.

It didn't appear to be a shape-changed creature.

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake dog thing or human? It did not act like prey. Human. Not waiting for permission he fully entered the room and padded up to the celestial being, feeling calm and harmony radiating and innate to her. He had really been badly abused lately with being told where to go, and having to kill imps who were annoying him. then there were the dummies Thomas kept setting up with the capes and the big ears for him to attack.

So the killing machine moved forward, claws sheathing and favored the kitsune with a gentle head butt to the pelvis and a long sniff. He rubbed against her and purred and expected she knew she was at least tolerated and scratches were welcome. He looked up favoring her with bright green eyes.

Saeko has posed:
A scritch offered, Saeko didn't seem scared. Perhaps she was confident that a pet almost certainly belonging to Thomas wouldn't harm her...or maybe she was confident in her ability to escape if it tried!

Lazily letting her hand move to continue the petting, her brush was forgotten. After all, thick short tiger fur was very different to silken fluffy tails.

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blakesays, "You fucking idiots are doing this on purpose. I'm finding the tiger then maybe, some of you got to lunch with him. Twice in two days. If he is out of this house again." Thomas runs through the downstairs, checks the doors, and bounds up the stairs. "Rasputin, where are you baby. Rasputin... see what Tom as for you." There is a clink of glass on metal. Thomas enters the bedroom and stops short, a bottle of Scotch in one hand and a metal bowl in the other. He boggles a bit at the scene.

"This... is the most beautiful scene I have come across in my life. May I take a photo?"

Rasputin licks Saeko's hand, then takes it in his mouth, gently. Thomas looks concerned at that. "Good cat. Be a good cat. You could hurt her. It's not Satana." Rasputin could hurt Satana too. It'd just take longer. Thomas is pretty sure.

Saeko has posed:
"I did not realise that alcohol was a preference of a tiger," Saeko comments as Thomas enters with the bottle and the bowl, a lottle snicker offered.

The lick is fine, but the kitsune gently draws her hand away from that mouth to instead scritch beneath his chin and move to stand from where she was sitting, offering the big cat a smile.

"He is beautiful. Did you recieve him as a gift, or take him from the grasp of another?"

Thomas Blake has posed:
Thomas Blake shrugs. "I won Rasputin in a card game. I lost him when I was arrested. He was in a goddawful Safari Park that was a front for... never mind. I bought him from the owners who knew of me. Rasputin, what did you learn about hands?"

Hands are crunchy.

Thomas forgets the photo. Too incriminating. He does walk over to Saeko and the tiger and tickle both their ears. A thought occurs to him.

"Do you... speak tiger? I want to know how his gum is doing? I think the Scotch helps him. I've been trying to get him in fighting shape again. He was a mess."
