"His left ear is twitching again. How can that even be a voluntary motion? Keegan look, the other one isn't even..."
"Marina!" hissed the Flame elemental. "If I were you I would let a tiger that big twitch any way he wants."
Marina Longara pouted her rose tinted lips. "You would think the great guardian would have more decorum." She looked up at her companion, who stood about a head taller than her, with a sly smile. "Come now Keegan, are you afraid of a kitty cat?"
Said "kitty", an 8ft tall white tiger with a wingspan that matched his height, rounded on the companions. His translucent blue eyes fixed on the water elemental.
"We get along fine." Keegan replied checking her nails as Marina's already pale complexion became paler still. "But I do feel sorry for those who fight him. Did you know fae magic can't completely cure scars caused by a beast that's part Gryphon."
Marina's palms flew to her face as Keegan continued,
"Now that could ruin a pretty fac- Marina, you're sweating. I thought you said you didn't sweat."
"I don't sweat" seethed Marian, backing away slowly. "I glisten!"
Keegan briefly heard the harsh sound of a powerful waterfall behind her and then silence.
"Marina Longara has left the building." She muttered softly.
The guardian eyed her with a predatory gaze. "I should strike you for putting up with such frivolity. Gemma would be ashamed."
Keegan turned a smoldering gaze upon the beast, "I would not presume to speak for Gemma Selva, or pick a fight with the Flame elemental if you did not intend to see it through."
The tiger bared his teeth and nodded. "You are welcome here daughter of Flame, we ummm..." the tiger paused and looked distinctly uncomfortable. Keegan blinked.
"What..."
"There is a sprite here who insists he must see you." He cleared his throat.
"He evaded all attempts at capture, used an alias to identify himself, and pelted his pursuers with coconuts, and mockery."
Keegan groaned inwardly. "Listen-"
"We believe you can identify the identity of this criminal." The tiger continued. "
So I must ask you....do you know the real Slim Shady?"
