Welcome to Gaia! ::

When Aslinn heard someone enter the store and shout out er nae she moved following the voice. Suddenly she spotted her sister and Cody. Looking at them both she backed up trying to find something to defend herself with. "wh-wwhat why in the heck is going on." The charm she'd had made was sitting on a table right next to Cody was standing.

Keira smiled when the idiotic boy led her to the shop she continued to put off a flirty air. When they entered the store she followed him until she caught wind of her sister. When she saw her sister she got a good long look at Cody and shoved him out of the way. "long time no see sister... i guess it was bound to happen but you should've just given up when you had the chance." Keira shouted as she lunged and grabbed her sister yanking her hair as they topped to the floor and she began trying to kill her.

Aslinn had been unprepared when her sister lunged at her. She fell hard on the ground and was unsuccessfully struggling to fight back and gain the upper hand. When Cody pulled her sister off Aslinn backed away and with a bit of a struggle managed to get on her feet. "C-cody thi-this isn't your fight." she tried telling him softly.

Keira had felt her sister failing to fight back and she smirked however, when Cody pulled her off she got angry. As he pulled her away she grabbed Aslinn's charm ripping it off her neck. She noticed that he had gotten a bit stronger. Glaring at the boy she then turned to her sister and spoke "you didn't .... how priceless. Have fun explaining to him why he'll look the way he does sister." Once she was done with that miniature rant she moved to the side pelting something past Cody. She intended to hit Aslinn with a charm that would instantly draw out her anthro form. Normally the charm around their neck bought them two- four hours of hiding in human form if removed.

Aslinn had heard her sister then cody and she grew nervous. All of her fear shed placed on Cody was unjustified he'd been tricked. When the charm hit her she instantally transformed. After Cody came back over Aslinn sat came over to him and tried helping him up. "Come on we need to get in my office.... it's not good to be out" her clothing clung tighter to her form and her human body was replaced with that of an anthro. Her white fur was slick and smooth as she tried hoisting Cody up and to her office.

Aslinn managed to get Cody into her office. As he changed she frowned; she watched him collapse and she saw how much pain he was in. Once his shoes came off. Once he had finished changing and passed out she scooted him over to her couch. She managed to heave him up on her couch and she slid a pillow under him and she covered him in a blanket. After a few minutes she got ahold of her fathers assistant and he had retrieved her necklace and sent the employee's home early. She handed him a wad of cash and told him to go buy a bunch of different take out and to bring her car over.

Once the assistant was away she moved out of the office and grabbed a bowl and filled it with cold water before grabbing a towel and heading back to the office. "I can't believe i let my paranoia screw him over. Now he's stuck like this... but i-i've got to wonder if his uncle knows about this." Frowning she moved over and sat down on the floor next to him soaking the cloth and setting it on top of his forehead.

((it's fine))

When Cody awoke Aslinn looked at him hoping to make sure he was alright. Hearing him ask her about why she was a cat she sighed. As soon as he asked about himself there was a knock on the door and Aslinn got up and opened it taking the food from him.

She pulled a small coffee table over and set all of the take out on the table. "Cody let me explain. Somewhere in your ancestry there was a man or woman who was an anthro, like me. Someone musti've put a charm on one of your ancestors that made them 'mortal'. You touched a charm on my desk that was designed to bring out your true form. Now i'm not sure what you'll want but dig in there's plenty of food to go around." Once she finished talking for the moment she opened all of the boxes revealing an array of fast food and take out from around the town. "Once you've eaten a bit i'll answer any and all questions you have." She knew he'd feel better if he ate and she didn't know what questions he'd have and figured it'd be easier to answer what he wanted to know.

Aslinn watched him blush as his stomach growled and she let him eat. She helped herself to some of the food until Cody had finished eating. As he asked her what an anthro was and about his family she calmed herself before speaking. "An anthro is a hybrid animal-human. Anthro's walk and talk like humans but prefer meat and are covered in fur; some even have sharper teeth. We have two forms the form you currently are in and a full animal form. Cody you might not remember it depending on how far back it goes. If someone gave a family member a charm it would've sealed away the ability in their children" She softly rubbed the back of her head as he spoke.

When Cody asked about why she had a charm that brought out his tru form she looked at the carpet and frowned. "Thats a moderately long story. What I told you involving my sister and I was not all truthful. My sister is evil and selfish; and my dad did break precedent by making me heir. My father ran the shop and our village but my mom tended to it mostly. When he died my sister invoked tribal law contesting his choice. The village elderes decided we needed to fight it out until one of us caved or died. We fought for close to three months. The elders made us halt the fighting for a few das in honor of a holiday.... Durring that time my sister tried hiring male anthros to kill me. One of my friends let me in on her scam and she was exiled... I came to the human world in hopes of finding love because i couldn't trust the men in my village. I-i o-odered that charm because i was paranoid; the day we went to lunch together I-i smelled that you were part anthro and i-in my paranoia i-i thought you were going to hurt me... I-it was selfish and stupid of me."

Once Aslinn finished talking she got up and mvoed over to a desk grabbing a necklace with a charm on it. She walked over to Cody and handed it to him. "My father's family has been making these for centuries. There are three families who make charms. My family makes this charm which allows us to look human while wearing it; if it comes off we ave between to and our hours before the effect wears off. Another family makes the charm i sued to bring out your anthro... and a third family makes the charm tha strips away our powers. Normally that charm is used on criminals.... but that was what i was told as a child." She half expected Cody to get angry with her and to harm her or run off not wanting to talk to her. Aslinn however hoped that Cody would showcase some compassion and at least forgive her for what she'd done and maybe offer her a second chance.

Aslinn watched him get up and hung her head down thinking he was going to leave until he started joking. "Cody we did and do. I was just an idiot, when I was younger I was told that the charms that sealed away a persons anthro side were only used on those who committed a heinous crime. However looking at everything I don't think you or your family could've done anything wrong." When he sat down next to her she smiled a bit and gave him a soft hug. "thank you. Even then my father was a rich man he left a nice sum of money to m sister; if she'd been frugal she would've only had to work part time. Or if she lived frugally and did some investing she could've never had to work at all. however by fighting his will she lost it all." She rested her head on his shoulder and sighed a bit before she began pondering just who in Cody's family could've been the anthro.

Aslinn felt Cody's nerves and she sighed contently as her head rested on his shoulder, When he said he might know someone to clear the mess up she smiled. "good idea." When he winced at the phone despite it being wrong to do so she giggled. "yea a volume adjustment is a wonderful thing." When Cody began Talking to the person on the other line Aslinn went quiet and listened to what she could.

When Cody switched to video cat Aslinn kept her head down as she rested there. She didn't know how this man would feel about what she'd done to Cody and she was nervous. When Cody explained everything Aslinn listened to his uncle before chiming in "did your mother ever say why she'd been given that charm... i know the makers of the charm and they produce different versions so maybe the reason she was given it could be to blame." When Aslinn spoke she sounded knowledgeable but shy or worried. She seemed rather upset by what had happened to Cody; rather than the fact she'd been attacked by someone who wanted her dead.
