With~ AJ (Sci_Wiz_AJ) and JaceAJ was standing outside the Sentinal's shop. He had Jace standing next to him. He was just a little kitty. Well if little is the size of a great dane. And a puma is a kitty. He stroked behind his ears. He had just learned the whole truth about the statues and he was to put it bluntly stunned.
Elda was struggling to drag Suruno into the shop; as well as a 120 pound girl can drag a 200 pound black tiger. She stopped, short of breath, with the great cat leaning aginst her knees, just inside the door of the shop; taking in the stunned boy standing near the counter. This was new she's revisited the shop several times since aquiring Suruno and Sukia, but it was the first time she'd ever run into another person. . . AJ saw Elda and Suruno and his brain turned back on. "Just a guess. Sentinel?" He gave a geeky weak half-smile. "Hey. I'm AJ" He looked down at Suruno. Maybe she would be able to help him. Jace had just... Well he didn't know what to call it but he knew he couldn't cre for a cat this big without help.
Elda smiled at the boy, he was friendly enough.
"Yep, this is Suruno. . . of the West Wind." She nodded at the slightly smaller cat sitting next to him. "He one too?" She asked, though she already knew the awnser. This boy was in for a big surprise when his kitty got to it's full size. . . by the looks of the beautiful cat next to him it was going to get about the size of Suruno. AJ nodded. "Yah. He just...Well whatever you wanted to call it. Yesterday." He stroked Jace's head. "Is there a way I could get some help? I kind of don't know anything about what to do. Like Food. ways to keep discreet that kind of thing."
"I'd be happy to help you out!" Elda said with a grin. "For food, meat. The cats like meat, but they don't need to eat too often which is good! As for keeping them discreet. . . that's really tough. I usually try to act natural about him; but people still tend to stare and ask questions. Not surprisingly, it's not everyday you see a tame tiger." "Any kind of meat okay or will they eat anything?" He looked down at Suruno. "So they are actual tigers then. Wow." He looked down at Jace. Puma. Suruno. Black tiger. Maybe they all just look different.
"Well, the tigers like red meat best. . . but I have a dragon at home who'll eat anything that's not bolted down." She smiled and stroked Suruno behind his ears. "I've got more problems taking him out in public than I do this one." She noded at the big cat, who was currently sitting at attention.
"Best I understand, from talking to the shop master on occasion, they really are tigers. And dragons, gaint tortoises, and even a pehniox. They're supposed to be a lot of them, but yours is the only other I've ever met.""A dragon? Yah I'd immagine that'd be a problem." He chuckled a little. Jace walked over to Suruno and sat infront of him. "And what are the heralds? Do you know?"
"Well, according to the legends they're scouts for the Sentinels. It's their job to sort of feel out prospective host for the Sentinels. . . if you pass their inspection you're likely to be choosen to recive a statuette." She girnned wildely.
"Be careful, they're very chatty, and quick to judge. You really don't want to make them mad. Any Herald can serve for any Sentinel, but the Sea Dragon and the Cat have a special affilation to the dragon and Tiger Sentinels." "Hm. I don't think I've ever seen one. Maybe they just hide well." He looked down at the two cats to see Jace lift up his paw in a kind of wave.
"So make sure that I get on their good side. Got it. So cat, sea dragon, turtle, bird. Any others?"
"For Hearlds there's 12, one for each of the 12 animals of the Chineese Zodiac, with the cat acting as the tiger. For the Sentinels, just the four you've named. And Hearlds don't always appear before Sentinels. . . I had Suruno and Sukia for months before my boar Hearld, Imadoki, came to my family."
"Was there anything else you were wondering about?" "Oh okay. And the only last thing was how can I thank you?" Jace returned to Aj's side
"No need to thank me at all. . . Just take care of your Sentinel, and if you get stuck ask. I wish you good fourtune with your beautiful cat!" "Okay. I think I can do that. Again Thanks." He looked down at Jace. "Hungry Jace?" At that Jace spritnted down the alley way. "I guess I'll be going." He smiled and ran after Jace.
