Chanda's eyes went wide and he sputtered when he was by all accounts pounced on by a rather large creature. Mr. Shiney Scales? He squired, trying to get free of the one on top of him. It was a female apparently from the shape of the bosom resting against his chest, that felt like she had fur.
He stared at her in disbelief, when he felt a hand brush against the scales on his arm. Was she not afraid of him? "Uhm...hi."

Artesia purrs, then notices the squirming, and bounces down, looking embarressed. "Artesia is sorry for being too friendly, Mr. Shiney Scales." She looked up at him. "Artesia is too friendly at times, she knows, and she didn't mean to make Mr. Shiney Scales uncomfortable." She watches him, hoping she didn't make him mad, she'd hate to have been a bad kitty.

"It's, uhm, just a bit unnerving is all." Chanda swallowed, gaze following the female to the floor. Judging by her fur pattern she must be a feline of some sort. "Especially when you aren't used to people being friendly..." He sat up and his tail slid over the edge of the couch, landing beside his feet.
The crocodile reached behind him and retrieved his wide collar, laying it across his shoulders and did up the large clasps in the back. "My name is Chanda..." He offered it along with a tentative smile, hoping he didn't show too much of his slightly pointed teeth.

Artesia relaxes completely and moves to sit close to his feet. "It's nice to meet you, Chanda. You're a pretty Shiney Scales. Artesia hasn't seen any since... home." She pauses, looked sad, then shakes her head, clearing her thoughts, and smiles up at him again. "Artesia is too friendly, yes. She is sorry. Artesia just likes hugging and cuddling people." She gives him a broad smile, not caring at all that her sharp cheetah teeth were visible, not really aware of how it might scare some one.

"It's nice to meet you too...Artesia." Chanda pats the couch beside him. "It's not bad to be friendly, you just have to watch who you be that friendly with." He chewed his lower lip lightly for a moment, wondering whether she'd recognize the invitation or not. "Where is home for you, Artesia?"

Artesia pulls herself up to sit besides him. "Artesia will have to try to remember. She is bad about that..." She tilts her head, then says "Africa. Artesia was a slave girl to her Little Mistress in Egypt. She was trained to speak English like Little Mistress because English is important, but Artesia liked listening to the Egyptian, it was pretty."

"A slave?" Chanda watched her settle on the couch beside him. "I knew that life once too...my master sold me when I was no longer of any use to him...once I had grown up." His fingertips touched his collar for a moment before withdrawing and he shuttered. "I was born along a big river, it very well could've been the Nile."
Chanda didn't understand why he offered up so much information so willingly. Maybe it was because he felt a touch of a kindred spirit in the feline. They both had known that life.

Artesia nods, quietly. "Artesia doesn't know where she was born. Artesia was raised in her Master's household, apparently her father owed her Master money and Master took Artesia as a slave-companion for Little Mistress instead." She sighs softly, and looks out. "All Artesia knows is she gets confused sometimes."

"It's sad, that your father was willing to give you up...just to cover debt." Chanda wrinkled his nose and reached out to brush her hair away from her eyes. "I hope you were treated well at least."

Artesia frowns a little. "Artesia thinks it wasn't like that. Artesia once heard Mistress scolding Master for forcing parents to pay with their children more then he used to." She smiles at Chanda. "Artesia was... mostly treated well, until the end, but Artesia doesn't want to talk about that. Artesia is NOT a bad kitty, no matter what Master tried to claim, so I'd rather remember the good times with Little Mistress."

Chanda nodded in understanding and put a comforting arm around her shoulder. "The good times are always, always, important."

Artesia smiles at him and gives Chanda a hug. "Definitely. Artesia just wants to remember good things. Forgetting the bad will make Artesia a happier kitty. I hope Chanda has lots of good memories to make him a happy Mr. Shiney Scales."

"I have some...like now." Chanda smiled softly, letting the feline girl hug him. She was the first in a long time to not run or walk wide circles around him when they spotted him. "Now is definately a good memory."

Artesia purrs happily to him at that. "Artesia is glad to know that she is helping you have a good memory. Artesia would hate to think she'd made anyone unhappy. Artesia is a good kitty." She stressed the word good, making it very clear that to her, this was of supreme importance.

"That you are." Chanda gave her shoulders a gentle squeeze, a one armed hug of sorts. "Artesia, would you be up for going for a walk by any chance?" Wants to get up and move around, having spent most of the day on this couch.
