_______________________________________________Image

Physical Profile

Age: 25
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 200lbs
Species: Atlantian {silverfeather} (this version of Atlantian appear to be human with the innate magical ability to summon feathered wings at will, these wings are always the same when summoned, and heal any damage sustained once unsummoned. This ability is suppressed by anything that suppresses magic)
Physical Description:
Xas has blue-green eyes, although they can seem more blue or green depending on lighting. His hair is dark brown, and is usually well-kept and brushed back, though he doesn't use any gel or mousse, so it takes little to mess it up. Xas prefers to wear practical clothing with plenty of pockets, though he is always wearing stelanian-made under armor for protection. He carries himself in a manner that makes his military background apparent, with very purposeful movements and solid stances. His expression is nearly always serious, so sometimes it becomes difficult to tell when he is joking.

_______________________________________________

Psychological Profile

Personality: Xas is a good man with a strong code of honor, that sometimes works against him when it comes to women and children. He just can't say no to a pretty face or a sob story. However, he's stubborn as the nine hells, which is both a boon and a curse, as he will never give up or give in. Xas has a sharp wit and a sharp tongue at times, sometimes running off at the mouth to those that he shouldn't. Despite this, he is a strong enforcer of the law, though he is well outside of his jurisdiction.
Likes: women of all shapes and sizes, getting the last word, information, a job well-done
Dislikes: anyone that abuses anyone else, ignorance, crossword puzzles, a steak well-done
_______________________________________________

Background

Biography: Considered one of the best in his field, Xas was chosen to be sent into unknown space. This was due to information of enemy spies investigating a new, heavily populated area, for unknown purposes. So out Xas was sent
Current Job: NEA Officer, investigating unknown space and previously unknown civilizations
Service Record: Graduated from the police academy at top of his class, made several hundred arrests that resulted in disruption of illegal slave trafficking, captured two Red Death operatives, and gathered information on Red Death activity

_______________________________________________

Equipment

Sidearm of Choice: SE-45 Sunripper Pistol (The Sunripper pistol is what is known as a chain revolver, a pistol that features a looped chain of ammo, much like that of larger chainguns. When the chain is depleted, it takes some time to replace it, but this usually isn't an issue as the rounds used are a high caliber and feature low powered explosives. The Sunripper is favored for its stopping power, but usually it is not carried by itself, due to its lack of flexibility. It is produced by ChainCo, a dogenplo company.)
Other Weapons: Combat knife, 3 stun pellets, 2 tanglefoot pellets, and a exofoam pellet
Other Gear: 2 handcuffs, identification badge, enough food and water for 2 weeks, and a small police attack craft

Xas Raeys's Story

Xas sighed heavily at his luck, rubbing a lump concealed by his hair, the reminder of the day beforehand. He was way off course, thanks to some sort of deepspace zombie horde, and had spent more than he would have liked on ship repairs. So what if it was unlike anything they've seen? He was pretty sure they were taking advantage of a foreigner. So from there he had gotten in a fight with a street gang because they were going to take advantage of some poor woman. He won, of course, but then the lady in question had pepper-sprayed him and the result was Xas on his ass and a lump on his head.

The dark-haired male tugged at the collar of his jacket, adjusting it, and thinking over the idea of a good hard drink. A grand opening seemed like a great chance to take advantage of the promotional prices, and casinos were great, as long as you made sure not to gamble.

Continuing with the poor luck of the day, a young woman and her owl ended up in front of Xas, before he had time to react. Naturally he plowed right into her, and probably would have knocked her from her feet, if not for the fact that the cop wrapped his arms around Tawny to keep her from in fact, being knocked over. Just as quickly, he let go and backed off, holding up a hand in defense.

"Sorry about that, miss. Wasn't watching where I was going, honest, don't pepperspray me, please," his mellow baritone of a voice held a note of panic, making it pretty clear that he expected an issue,"Or have the owl attack me. Not really up for sharp talons to the face, ma'am."

Tawny stumbled until the strength of Xas' arms kept her from harm, while Shakespeare only responded by pushing his talons further into Tawnys forearm. 'Ow!' she mumbled,trying to hide her reaction, as a small weeping of blood soaked through her hoodie. She looked up into the eyes of the man she planned to insult, but all anger and frustrations were soon forgotten as she felt the sudden stability of his arms retreat away from her. She didn't say anything, but laughed at his mentions of pepperspray and an onslaught of talons. She placed her hand on his bulky forearm in reassurance and reaffirmed by saying ' Please, its fine, no harm done...well no more than either of us can handle she smiled up at him. Then rational thought returned to her, and took a few paces back, to allow her time to run if necessary, her thoughts had returned to those people that meant to cause her harm. She gazed at him curiously, her usual feelings of dread, when she faced threats, hadn't erupted, and so she continued 'I'm being silly...its been an eventful day.' a tone of shame lingered clear in her voice.

Xas relaxed at the sound of laughter, managing even a smile at the shorter female,"Well, to make up for it, maybe I can treat you to a drink, or I guess its late enough for a little dinner?" He motioned lightly to Shakespeare,"Your friend too, I'm sure we could find something to their liking."

So far so good, he guessed, as he hadn't been assaulted yet. His general stance had become relaxed, though not lazy, and his expression while friendly, still carried a hint of concern. After all, as far as Xas knew, she was a civilian and was just what he has sworn to protect...plus she was kind of cute. He offered his hand in a friendly gesture, though if Tawny would return the gesture, he wouldn't go for the handshake, but would rather take her hand as if she were a delicate princess, and bow slightly.

"I'm Xas Raeys, but you can call me anything you'd like at all. So I got to ask, did the goddess see fit to give you a name with that beautiful smile?" His tone was very matter-of-fact, as if it was only logical that he would find her attractive, and that her beauty was nothing less than heaven-sent.

Tawny looked at Shakespeare and conceded that they had both suffered through a lack of nourishment. ' I guess we could stay for dinner,' she blushed adding a soft redness to her cheeks.'You can call me Tawny, and this, is Shakespeare' she announced as she opened her arm out to introduce the two. Her fingers flinched in surprise as they brushed against Xas' outstretched hand. She lowered her gaze and turned her head in embarassment, 'Im flattered by your kind words, Xas, I apologise, i have yet to learn how to take compliments, without turning bright red.' she giggled slightly and turned back to him, her green eyes gleaming, as she slowly replaced her hand in is. Shakespeare pecked at Xas finger as she did so. 'Just a word of warning, its Shakespeare you need to get on the right side of.'

Jeremy, after a ton of more guests, finally took a moment to sit down at the bar. Just for a moment, but it was worth it. "Maarat. Please, I am going to need something strong for tonight".

"How sugary?"

"Surprise me with something extremely strong"

"Alright...I cant be held responsible for the headache you are going to have in the morning".

"Please, I always have a headache".

Maarat made some sort of concoction, which smelled sweet and sugary and as if it would keep him going for another week. He drank the whole thing at once, and then got back to work.

He went back into the fray, greeting several more people, including going to greet Xas right as that woman with her owl collided into him. "Uhh, my name is Jeremy Tarosi, and are you okay?"

Suddenly, some song, "Workin for Dimes", started playing.

The cop flinched as his fingers were on the receiving end of a warning peck, and cocked an eyebrow at the protective owl,"Shakespeare, huh? Well then, my fine feathered acquaintance, I guess I'll just have to show you that I mean no harm." He chuckled lightly, allowing another friendly smile as he held open the door for Tawny,"Well, after you m'lady, and don't mind the fancy compliments. I just like to give credit where credit is due."

Once Tawny stepped inside, Xas would follow, instinctively scanning the crowd for the less-than-honorables, of which there seemed no short supply of. About that time what appeared to be a child reached the pair, introducing himself and asking if they were alright,"No worries for me, though I suppose I'll need to be offering reparations to the lady and her companion." He motioned toward Tawny in indication of 'the lady'. "I'm Officer Raeys with the NEA. While I have no official business in this location, I'd like the management here to be aware that I am in fact armed and would like official permission for my concealed weapon."

He wasn't too quiet about the information, and in fact pulled out his identification and badge, both of which would appear to be in the native language of whoever was reading it. For the moment, he wasn't Xas, the casual flirt, but rather he was Raeys, the officer of the law. "If needed I can wait here or outside."

Tawny turned to protest when she found out Xas wouldn't be eating with them. 'Your not going to eat with us?' for a moment she looked slightly dismayed as her thoughts turned to misunderstanding and misinterpretation. Had she imagined the flirting comments, she didn't have time to answer that, as she tensed up upon hearing he was a cop. Shed been drawn by a 15 year old that gave her the creeps, shed got into a pile of trouble with a far-from-friendly woman and now she had stumbled into a cop. What a day. She just smiled, and in a break of conversation uttered, 'You know, if your busy, I can just accept your apology, and leave you be. I have alot of stuff to figure out myself,' she explained. She felt slightly misplaced, she admitted that Xas was far from sore on the eyes, but how far would it get, and how quickly would it be before her persuers found her again? She glanced at Jeremy who was understandably not too pleased with her before deciding to enjoy the moment while she had it. She clasped Xas hand in hers after he'd replaced his ID and waited with him whilst he dealt with the issue of his firearm.

"Its fine. Our security has bigger and better guns anyways. However, I would like to know why an agent of the NEA feels like he needs to announce himself, unless he is working".

Jeremy seemed...energized...however, there was another thing different about him then before. Ever since he spoke to the man in the black outfit, he seemed a bit tense. The sugar was kicking in though, and would soon mask it. "So, anyways, my name is Jeremy Tarosi, and if you need anything let me know. We have entertainment, games, drinks, food, and rooms. Comfortable, empty rooms".

Jeremy was looking at Tawny and Xas, and how they looked at each other, and figured they might hook up. Jeremy was, surprisingly, capable of understanding romance despite being so young and having a college degree in business.

"We have a good discount on rooms right now, if your interested in staying the night. Plus, they will likely fill out sooner rather then later".

Xas nodded slightly and put his badge away,"I am working, but its an on-going investigation of a large scale, so its more passive than active. There shouldn't be any iss-" he cut off when Tawny took his hand, expression softening slightly,"Nah, I'll be joining you two for dinner, I just wanted to make sure things were taken care of. You never know, you know?" A lesser man may have blushed, but Xas didn't, remaining as stoic as ever.

His attention shifted back to Jeremy, as his fingers closed around Tawny's in a gentle grip,"I would like to reserve a room, since I'll be stuck planetside for a little while, but I think I'll take care of that after a little bit of something to eat," he glanced at the young lady at his side, confirming that he had her in the front of his thoughts, not the back of his mind,"I suppose I'll find you after that, Mr Tarosi."

With a polite nod, Xas led Tawny back to the pub area, which was easy enough to find, thanks to the clear set up of the place. Rather than sitting at the bar, he picked out a more secluded booth, always the gentleman, allowing his companion to sit first. "Right...I suppose you'll have questions about my work, now? Its not secret or anything, so feel free to ask anything."

Tawny allowed herself to forget her doubts, the man she stood with was now clearer on his intentions, and as he squeezed her hand back she almost squirmed. Was this really happening. She was guided back into the bar area, and lost in her thoughts she forgot to look over at the corner booth where the previous engagement had took. As Xas gestured for her to sit she did so allowing Shakespeare to perch on the head of the seat next to her. 'Well I don't mean to pry, Xas, but I'd like to ask what your particular....hmm...branch specializes in, and how often you have to use that thing.' she asked incinuating the firearm he carried. Nervous, her fingers began to shake, and she instantly felt a twang of guilt. She shoved them under the table and spoke. ' I'm sorry, I've been having trouble lately, and well guns haven't been absent from the picture. That's why id feel a little easier in knowing your here to sit with me, rather than flashing around fake IDs only to gain my trust,and well...shoot me.' She must've sounded so stupid but if he was real then she could finally talk to someone. She looked absently at Shakespeare in search of reassurance. 'I know sweetie, settle yourself and rest, I'll wake you when dinners served.' she said stroking him with her finger.

"Alright. That's pretty coincidental though. Rumor has it The Taskforce recently set up on the planet as well. Anyways, should I open a tab for you then while I get you access to a room? And is there anything else you need?"

Jeremy found it rather strange, him showing up around the same time as The Taskforce. It could be coincidental, but still...

"Right. Well, I can be found anywhere on the main floor. If you can't find me, feel free to speak to an attendant. They can help you as well".

It was at that moment his phone started to ring. "Excuse me for a sec".

Jeremy walked over to a quiet corner and picked up. "Yes dad?"

"Just making sure you don't overwork yourself".

"Relax, I am fine".

"Really, because you sound a bit hyper".

"Just the Gand Opening. I am excited. Now stop worrying about me and get back to work".

"Well, I got you a gift. Got it during a deal with a friend. It's under the counter".

Jeremy hung up, and got back to work. The grand opening was always the hardest day, but Jeremy had practiced, and he had experience. He made his way to the counter, and found it. It was a silver, ruby eyed wolf ring. He put it on. "Cool".

Jeremy then continued to greet patrons, and waited to hear if someone needed him.

Xas glanced toward Jeremy as he sat down, wondering for a moment why this 'Taskforce' was on planet too. Maybe he'd stay a little longer than originally intended. His eyes were drawn back to Tawny and her questions, allowing himself a more relaxed expression while regarding her,"Well, my branch is concerned with things outside of Neolatian space, uh, where I'm from. Particularly I'm tracking an organization called the Red Death. With a name like that, I'm sure you can guess they're bad news." He paused on the question of his weapon, but only for a moment,"The firearm I carry is meant for extreme measures. I'll never use it unless I really have to, so even if someone like you turned out to be a criminal, I'd never use it on them. That said...I've had to fire my weapon exactly seven times."

He fell quiet for a moment, speaking up when a waitress stepped over to their table,"I'd like whatever the local carbonated drink is, and the house special to eat." He motioned lightly to Tawny, indicating that it was her turn to order.

Once the waitress left with their order, he continued,"You want to share why you're so worried about being shot? Someone's after you? If its because you're on the wrong side of the law, don't worry about me, not my jurisdiction. I'm only authorized to deal with specific threats."

Xas rubbed his neck for a moment before returning his hands to the table,"I'd hardly say that what I've been though is enough to warrant pity or regret. I see myself as more of a knight sent out to slay the dragons and save the maidens." He was about to comment on chivalry and why it was important to buy dinner for pretty girls, when Tawny's fingers played across the calloused skin of his knuckles. For the moment he was a touched stunned, as she came right out and complemented him.

But she was dodging his question, and Xas was inclined to lay a hand over the fingers that teased over his own. His voice wasn't accusing, but rather light and teasing, as if he was asking if she wanted to go back to his room,"You didn't really answer the question, though. Who are you running from?" His eyes were locked on hers, a mixture of concern, and the colder look of a veteran. He honestly hoped that he wasn't being played again, and for once he could trust the woman that sat across from him.

Jeremy came back to Tawny and Xas. Despite being somewhat annoyed with her, he was nice, and he did provide good service. "That name I mentioned to you before? Liam? Well, I heard just now a kid matching his description was seen getting into a fight outside the library. Though apparently it wasn't much of a fight and more of a beating. Just thought I would let you know".

Though, when he heard about Tawny being on the run, he was slightly concerned. "Well, we happen to be very discreet with patron information here, so I can guarantee they won't hear about you from us while your here. I deal in rumor, not giving out patron information. Anything I tell someone here has to come from rumors and statements others make".

This was a useful code for anyone who deals in information, something Jeremy seemed capable of doing. Not only did he give information therefore, but he also kept secrets as well. Jeremy seemed like a nice kid, but there was sure more to him that meets the eye.

The cop listened to Tawny try to explain the situation, clearly frightened and confused herself. He wasn't familiar with a Daedayre, but those linked with a companion animal was a different matter. He shook his head slightly,"There are those out there that like to take advantage of every little bit of power they can. A link like that," he motioned slightly to Shakespheare,"Requires a decent amount of power, and can command it too, if you know how."

He paused when Jeremy came to the table, listening about this information about a someone named Liam. He spoke up again when Jeremy seemed to lay down the hint of being an information broker, a surprising job for a child to one who wasn't familiar with that sort of thing. Xas gave the barest hint of a nod in acknowledgement, tapping the table with his forefingers,"Well, I do plan on getting a room here, so I might as well take advantage of any other services, right? Maybe we can talk later."

He glanced at Tawny then back to Jeremy,"For now, I think that we'll just have a relaxing dinner and enjoy the night."



Felicity couldn't help but overhear, and had taken her time to flirt with a male fairly close to where Xas and Tawny sat. The act was easy enough, after all, she was little more than a silly blonde with big breasts, right?

Isis was extremely pleased that the girl and her owl took the hint and hurried away from the table. Stretching back out, she grabbed a wad of napkins and cleaned up the water with a slight huff. Waving over the waitress, she ordered another water in addition to an entire pitcher filled with her favorite drink; kamikaze. She enjoyed being something other than a human because it meant she could drink as much as she wanted and still keep her head completely clear. Shifting her attention out towards the crowd that seemed to be thickening, the siren continued to search for her target. What she saw instead was a male with a gun smack right into the girl with the owl. Why was there someone wandering around with a gun? It was about this time that she wished she could read lips because she was very interested in what he had to say regarding the weapon.

There’s no way someone would know I’m here, right? Unless I was betrayed of course…

Tapping her fingers against the table, she picked up the empty glass that accompanied her water and pitcher of booze and poured it full. It was larger than a shot glass, but it was the perfect size for her. Tossing the liquid back into her throat, she swallowed it and nodded in satisfaction. It was perfectly made and she had a feeling she was going to go through several pitchers before the person she was waiting for finally showed up. The owl girl and gunman was nearing her booth, but they took another one in one of the other corners. They were close enough that she could easily eavesdrop without appearing to do so, and that was exactly what the redhead did. She was glad to know that no one had ratted her out, but was extremely curious as to who would want to kill the girl and who the male was looking for. It looked like the place was going to get a lot more interesting, which suited her just fine.

'Xas please, put your arms around me, i feel alot safer when im with you.' She was glad Shakespeare was still sleeping but she got the feeling, her little friend would feel no need to object. She caught a glance from a blonde haired woman, yet thought nothing of it,She was in the lap of the most gorgeous man in the room after all.

Char watched as Jeremy walked around and went back to the same two people a multitude of times. From his little perch at the bar Char just simply gazed at the seen. It was rather comforting to see a lot of people around and having a good time. Char watched the boy walk around and greet new people as they arrived. He did seem to be a greeter of this please, though something felt off here, wouldn't the owner be around? Char just shrugged inwardly and continued to watch Jeremy as he proceeded through his actions.

Jeremy sat down, as for a moment there were no new guests and no one who needed his help. He wanted a hot shower, but there was no way to fit that in. He then got a call. He quickly picked up, and a yelling man answered. "Listen Raja, we both know I am paying you more then your worth, but of you really want to try that move, I can make it so people will hire you for only half your worth".

The man stopped yelling, and hung up. "Thought so".

He couldn't help but overhear bits and pieces of Tawny's and Xas' conversation, despite being over a dozen booths away and having music play. Jeremy had adapted to have really good hearing.

Xas shot a look back at Jeremy, as if to plead the kid not to leave him with a girl on his lap. There was no helping it, so the cop was forced to turn his attention back to Tawny. He gently lifted her from his lap before anything came up and made it any more awkward that it already was,"Look, clearly you're vulnerable and I can't take advantage of that." I want to, but can't, he thought with a sigh,"How about you tell me a little more about the people chasing you. Did you ever notice any red symbol on them anywhere that looks like an eye or a hand?"

He paused, adding so not to sound too calloused,"I mean, that doesn't mean I can't watch over you for a little while. Its a temporary thing, okay? I mean, you can stay in my room tonight, but it doesn't mean anything." He rubbed his neck, for once, seeming a bit flustered and unsure of what to do. It wasn't every day that one randomly had an attractive woman on their lap.


Felicity snorted to herself and blew off the guy she was flirting with in favor of sitting down with a flame-haired woman who seemed almost as interested in the cop as herself. She smiled playfully at Isis as she settled in, hooking a finger at a waiter as she did so, and ordering herself a midori sour. Her voice was black velvet in its true form, unaltered by any psionic ability or act,"So, what brings a lovely lady like yourself to such an establishment? Or are you just here for the drinks?"

The woman herself seemed to be sculpted from some sort of metal, both in appearance and mannerism, as she literally shined under the casino lights. Her eyes showed a cold intelligence, like that of a predator, and even her smile seemed to conceal some sort of weapon.

An owl. A god damn owl. Bo's tongue darted from her mouth to lick her chops instinctively. She wasn't surprised that the bird was allowed in. After all, weirder things had happened. Like cats walking on two legs dressed up in ninja garbs. Speaking of which, she looked really conspicuous in all black that hid all her features from head to toe, so she chose to melt down into a pool of sky blue mist. Getting here had been easy. Now getting the girl would be the fun part. For now she just needed to confirm, because the last thing she needed was capturing the wrong girl and owl, so along the floor darted the mist, whirling around table legs and chairs on its way towards Tawny, Xas and the owl.

The mist came to rest just down and to the side from the duo and bird, in a place where they hopefully wouldn't see underneath a nearby table. And this was where the boring part of assassin work began. Sitting and waiting for a chance to strike.

A huge twang of disappointment, pooled in Tawnys stomach, as the arms she hoped to embrace her, instead lifted her off his lap. At this point she knew this was too much for him to handle, her story, his work and the emotional rollercoaster since the moment they had met. 'Stupid girl,' she muttered to herself crossly, not too quietly. Liam had been at the library, Jeremy, the king of rumours, had said so, and shed passed the opportunity for answers up, for a guy she knew couldn't deal with it all. 'I've told you all I know' she continued in a reserved manner before standing to leave. ' I'm sorry we can't stay for dinner, im going to go book a room, you can get the number off Jeremy should you need anything.' She had replaced all her protective layers and suddenly sounded hoarse, and slightly harsh. She pulled Shakespeare into her arms, 'Come on sweetie, we've both had a long day.' She returned her attention to Xas 'im sorry if I've made you uncomfortable, I haven't ever spoken to anyone about who I am so forgive me for feeling relieved when I do. Good luck in your work and just for the record i know your going to make some lucky lady very happy in the future.' it was just a rapid outburst now, she hasn't expected to be saying goodbye just yet, but she was thankful for the experience they'd shared. She kissed him softly on the cheek before walking off to find Jeremy. She noted the gaze of several onlookers as she walked out of the pub area and upon seeing Jeremy, she Called to him... 'Erm Jeremy, would it trouble you to book me a room?' she asked politely.

Jeremy looked up at Tawny, and held out a security key. "A personal rule of mine: Be as prepared as you possibly can. Should I put this on a tab then?"

Jeremy then looked at Xas, and then Isis. He couldn't help but still wonder about how coincidental it was, Xas being here at the same time The Taskforce comes into town. He also focused on Isis. He wasn't sure what it was, but he got this feeling from her, like she was capable of things most people wouldn't do.

And then, there was just this bad feeling around Tawny as she aproached. He could tell it was his psionic abilities, acting up to something, but he wasn't sure what. All he knew is that something was about to happen with Tawny. Therefore, he added to his statement something else. "You should be careful though. You should be safe here, but it never hurts".

Xas was quick to his feet, as he followed Tawny,"Wait, no, that's not what I meant. I just don't think you should be making rash decisions about sitting on a guy's lap. Wait, alright?" Internally the officer growled at his own inability to simply let her go on her own way. If she didn't know anything, she wasn't part of his mission after all.

"Wait, put her room on my tab, I got it. Okay? I got it." He resisted physically stopping Tawny, instead opting to follow her,"Look, Tawny, you didn't make me uncomfortable..." he added with a mumble,"Really the opposite," back at normal volume,"I want to help you, alright? Clearly you are vulnerable and it would be all too easy for someone to take advantage of that. I don't want to be that guy."


Meanwhile, Felicity smirked at Isis and her harsh tone,"Relax, I only want to talk. Honestly, if that's how you conduct business, I don't see you doing well in picking up new clients."

Her eyes wandered from Isis's face for a moment as she watched Xas and Tawny get up, her expression of amusement only growing more clear. Her eyes were quickly back on Isis again, this time her gaze carrying with it a feeling of peacefulness that would wash over the sylph's target, in this case, the siren across from her. The psionic made it clear that she too was very armed and very dangerous, and had only a little bit of patience for threats, as she pressed with the sharpened edge of her abilities. A creature such as herself had a refined touch, and as such it could easily bridge the gap between a mild headache and painful death.

"I happen to represent an organization that has some interest in this area, perhaps a being such as yourself would understand the benefits of making trades with a new client? We deal in unique products, specializing in the public relations department."

With Tawny making efforts to separate herself from the group, Bo couldn't believe her luck. How easy would it be to just jump her in her room, smack her face unconscious, then throw her and her dumb owl on a transport back to Terra? Piece of cake. She just had to wait until the girl was alone. The mist slowly shifted from its hiding place to stalk Tawny, occasionally darting from table to table to keep hidden, but with no real noticeable weight or mass, it was completely unnoticeable when stepped on or through.
