Rose the kitsune-ish girl

"And how exactly can I be of help?" Rose asked suspiciously. She was starting to get the feeling that she was about to be dragged into something again. And yet... on the other hand. 'On the other hand, I'm supposed to find out more about my heritages. What better way than to go visit the kitsunes?' she thought.

Sahm looked at Kyrre questioningly, and then opened his mouth to speak. But it was Kyrre who spoke instead, beating Sahm to it.

"Estefan needs to be kept from assuming power. Your claim to the throne is in many ways stronger than his. If you were to return with us, you could put forth your claim, and Estefan would be thwarted." Kyrre stated.

Rose finished her tea. So many thoughts went through her head. She looked up, and, just as Sahm was about to speak again, and looking as though he was going to try to say more to persuade her, Rose spoke instead.

"I'll go." Rose said simply.

Sahm shut his mouth. Then opened it again. "You will?"

"That simply?" Kyrre said, now on the defensive himself. He had never found.... part demons to be fully trustworthy.

"Well, nothing's ever that simple." Rose said, smiling at him- though the warmth in it seemed to assume he would be smiling as well. "But, if you must know, I was planning on trying to find my kitsune lineage soon, anyways. You see, it was not until after my father's death that I found out what a mixed up bloodline I have. And after some trying events, it's been brought to my attention that even I don't know of what I am capable. Ignorance is not bliss, it seems, and can be used against you."

Sahm nodded. Kyrre even seemed satisfied with the answer.

"Great." Sahm said. "There's just... a few matters to go over first, then." Sahm got up, and motioned for her to do so as well. "First we have to test your lineage. Not... that we would have come so far had we been uncertain, but..." he trailed off, and cleared his throat instead. Rose had gotten up, but had raised an eyebrow in question, as well.

"I need to see you- er, if you can, that is... change completely kitsune." Sahm finished.

Rose sighed. "You mean, just like the two of you now?"

"That... would be correct." Kyrre said, a little uncertain of what her reply might bode.

"Well, I can't." Rose replied. Both kitsunes drew in a breath. Rose shook her head, and waved her hands. "I mean, not exactly like you two. I can't change my skin like that, but..." pausing, Rose concentrated, and suddenly had a fox tail, fox ears, and whiskers. She then also banished her robe, since that was not really suited for wear with a tail.

"Is that good enough for you?" Rose asked, smiling sheepishly.

Kyrre and Sahm suddenly turned to each other and whispered- lower than Rose could hear.

'This can't be good.' Rose thought with a frown.
