Fluffy nodded her pale head and sat down next to and behind Xiven, carefully grooming a paw and trying not to do anything else that might make her owner unhappy. The more calm and like a cute little pet she acted, the less angry Xiven was with her, and even though she didn't really think she was the cause of the girl's anger... she wanted to make sure. In no way was it her aim to upset the other feline.
Especially when she used that voice. That wasn't a nice voice. It made her pet look down to the floor and ignore everyone else in the room while she washed her paw, even though it was already quite clean. What had the pretty young man done to make her owner unhappy? Whatever it was, she could tell it was Bad and Xiven was Not Happy with him. At least she wasn't snappingly angry yet.
As much as she wanted to look up and watch the pretty hair and antlers some more, she just didn't think it was right until her mistress calmed down, especially if she was angry with him. The cat just couldn't understand that, though. How could she be angry with him?

A slow grin spread across Raj's face. Oh it was much too easy indeed to get Xiven worked up. Far, far, too easy. At least she was a spitfire unlike Linda, boring little do-gooder she was. But yes, he made a mental note of finding Fluffy alone someday. It would make it all the sweeter that Xiven would probably never know if he did something with her.
She may be a pet, but she was still a Card afterall, not just some animal. And she would like being with him, oh yes, she would.
He raised an eyebrow though, unwilling to admit he didn't really know what patronize meant. So sue me, he thought, I may not be the brightest but at least I have the balls to go after what I want.
Khizr cleared his throat, earning a depreciative glare from his brother. "Raj, let the minx alone. We have better things to do."

"Oh yes, I'm a very pert woman aren't I?" Xiven said with a wave of her paw. Big words were Raj's weakness. He had obviously not known what patronize meant if he was leering at Fluffy like that. He probably wouldn't even realize she had just given herself a compliment. Oh snap.
A smirk formed on the feline's face as her ears twitched and tail flicked as she continued to watch the King's expression. She wanted him to wiggle with frustration damnit. She was in control of the situation for the moment, and she wanted him to suffer however little it was.
She turned to Fluffy, who was obviously ignoring the whole situation. Maybe she would get a treat for putting up with this. Then again she should probably punish her for liking someone like Raj, that way she would stay away from him for good. That was difficult though when magic was involved, conditioned responses were sometimes overwritten. Complications were fantastic.

These boys were older than Fluffy and her owner, which usually seemed to give them more seniority. But her owner was a Queen and she knew very well what that meant from constant examples in the world around her, as well as explanations offered by Xiven to various people who may not have showed her the respect that she so obviously deserved. The 'K' and 'J' on the chest of the two boys also meant that they were Important people, but not as important as her owner.
She didn't understand a lot of the undertones of what was going on in the conversation, especially as distracted as she'd been by listening to Rajekhri's voice instead of his actual words, but she knew that her owner was unhappy with them and maybe didn't like them. How could she not like the pretty antlered boy, though? It was just so confusing to the young Ace.
Her tongue stilled in its grooming and she looked up with dark eyes to meet Xiven's when she felt the other girl's gaze land on her. She sat more properly, paw settling primly below her, and purred. Maybe that would help to make her owner less upset? Whatever it was, could it really be that bad?

Rajekhri burst into laughter, a tear very nearly spilling down his cheek. ". . You honestly call yourself a woman? Hardly." He laughed harder yet, knees shaking somewhat with the force of it. Xiven was hardly a woman, body parts did not a woman make. No, she honestly was more masculine than anything though with a woman's temper. She was younger than him, and he wasn't even a man yet. Oh, that joke just made his day.
Raj stood up straighter again, still grinning like a fool. "Who are you kidding? You're a genderless it. Shame really." He fake pouted and looked her over with a leer.
Khizr wished he could growl. This was going nowhere and was a waste of time. If only Rajekhri could have smoothed this cat over instead of antagonizing her. He was sure that they could have wooed her over to their way of thinking. Khizr had heard the tales of her down in the dungeon with papa and damn near shivered. He was one to watch pain and suffering but to do the dirty work was just. . demeaning. For some reason everytime papa looked at Khizr, the little deer had the distinct impression he was disgusted. Khizr caught hints of it when he looked at Raj too, but the fact that his brother was half cat seemed to quell some of that anger, at his mother he was assuming. Stupid woman.
Oh well, Xiven already hated them. "Watch you're back Xiven, someday you'll be serving Rajekhri.."

She could have dealt with the first comment in a civil manner. The second just made her ear twitch. The last one....? Oh hell no. Her lip twitched, her eyes narrowed and she let out a growl that turned into a rather long hiss.
"You stupid sons of a bitch! I would never lower myself to such a dirty position! I would see your heads on golden platters before I lowered myself that far!" She was screaming at the top of her lungs by the end of her miniature rant. Xiven hissed again, her tail puffing up as she continued, "Learn how to respect me! One day you'll need my help and you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to laugh while you lose all your hopes and dreams! Then I'm going to take your heads and put them on pikes so everyone in the Highlands can see how disgusting you BOTH REALLY ARE!"
She had forgotten about fluffy completely as she stood with her fur on end, ready to leap forward and tear at Raj's neck.

Fluffy's purring stuttered off into silence as her ears flicked around to listen to the boys' taunting. She could tell from the tone that's what it was and it started to upset her too. Why were they taunting the pair of them? Weren't they supposed to be related to Xiven? Didn't they have the same Papa, the King with the bones showing who always smelled like blood?
Xiven's hiss made her jerk backwards and cower down, ears plastered back against her skull in fear and anxiety as she watched her owner's fur poof up and her hackles raise and her tail turn into a giant cone of feathery fur. Xiven got big when she was angry, and she was screaming and hissing and spitting out her words like swipes. She looked about ready to attack something.
She wished she knew what was going on. She wished she knew how to make it better. If she had a tail, it would have been tucked so tight under and against her stomach that it would hurt. But she didn't, so she just cowered and slowly backed up until she bumped against the suit of armor by the wall and yowled in surprise at the metal clang, taking off down the hallway at a flat run. Until she tried to turn a corner and tripped over her own taillessness and went sprawling into the wall.

Rajekhri watched Xiven's blow-up with a rising sense of anger, and satisfaction. Yes, easy to manipulate this one but she was horribly strong. It would be interesting to see what happened in the future. One day he would make a bid on The Queen and he would take it, he was certain. It was his spot, and his alone. Khizr was content to sit behind him as a King and not go for a Queen spot. And together. . they'd be unstoppable.
Khizr sneered and stood, turning his back on everything and padding away down the hall. Raj glanced behind him for a second before doing a low, mocking curtsy to the two cats in front of him.
"Shame you can't be civil, I try so hard for us to get along." A mocking sneer crossed his face.
"But for today, I believe we're done." And with that he turned and walked away down the hall back to their quarters.
