*Alex stares back. First at the man, then at his sword, then to Kara..... then back to the sword. He manages a weak smile and slowly starts to close his laptop and stand up*
Well..... Nice to see you all... I think that... I hear someone calling me in the other room....

:::Kara seems just a bit taken aback by Alex... he's gonna leave me here with the total stranger with a sword...:::
:::But then her gaze shifts to the floor... she recalls the last time she saw him, and realizes that she can't blame him. Kara wonders if she should leave too...but she glances at the man. He looks entirely confused at seeing a cat man. Maybe it's his first time here...:::

*Dafyd raises the gloved hand, belatedly thinking to add* Hold, Sir! A word, if you will!

*Alex grimaces as the man talks to him. Crap. Knew it wouldn't be THAT easy. Halfway out... should I.... No.... Alex turns and smiles*
Uhm... Sure?

*Dafyd clears his throat, not entirely sure what to say*
Sir, you will forgive me for being blunt, but... you possess the ears and tail of a cat...
*he draws his sword, a plain iron thing, though different from the one before, and holds it between them*
Answer me true, what manner of man or beast are you?

:::Kara suddenly finds her bravery... the man really doesn't know what's going on. And of all things, she'd hate to have on her hands being witness to Alex getting killed... she was already in trouble for trying it once, herself. She doesn't step in between them, she just comes within speaking distance:::
Please... put that down. :::She emplores::: No one here is an enemy. I promise you, there's no need for that.

Quiet, Woman! *he snaps irritably*
A man speaks for himself, or he is no man in my sight.

*That works for Alex. He takes off in a dead sprint as soon as the man shouts*
*exit Alex to the library*

:::She staggered when Dafyd yelled at her. Oh no he didn't.
Kara might have been feeling under the weather, but she wasn't about to let this one tell her what to do:::
What kind of MAN swings around his weapon at someone who's unarmed!? Hah... at a defenseless 'cat', even. He-
:::She looks at Alex running, and mumbles...::: scardy-cat...
See what you did!

*Dafyd roars like a bear as the cat man bolts, then grins and slides his sword back into its scabbard* ... Craven...
*he turns to Kara with a gracious smile* Valiant of you to defend him, Lady. Do you change his swaddling clothes also? If so, I fear he may still need your help.
*he walks past her toward the bar to fix himself a drink*

:::How unscrupulous can someone get? She gawks, and supresses a smirk when she realizes how unlucky Alex is with people randomly attacking him in the Brink. Then she sees the man walk off:::
Hey... I change no man's swaddlings...
:::She trots along after him:::
That's no joke, pal. A guy from who-knows-what-time shows up and sticks a sword in your face, you're not going to want to stick around. I don't blame him.

*Dafyd pulls bottles randomly from the shelves, pulling the cork on each and sniffing the contents. He finally settles on a bottle of sweet port, selects a pair of wine glasses from the shelf, marveling for a moment at their beauty. He sets the glasses on the bar and fills them, then thrusts one in Kara's face as she comes up beside him*
Join me...

:::She stops short as a glass of wine is pushed in front of her... somehow in her surprise she managed to put her hands around it before smaking straight into it...
She moves her face around the edge of the glass to look quizzically at the man... it begrudgingly turns into a smile:::
Alright...

*Dafyd lifts his glass, considering* To the lady before me, with hair of fire like the Queens of Ériu and the boldness to match.

:::She lifts her glass, finding herself unable to surpress a chuckle, and dying to retaliate:::
And to the man before me, who's sword is so brave, it scared my master's son out of his swaddlings...
:::She clinked his glass and drank:::
My name is Kara...
