Everyone just stared at Karl as he stood next to a growing puddle of blood as the cleric worked to heal the cadet in preparation for resurrection.
"Why didn't you tell us you were serious?" One of the others demanded.
"Did everyone think that I was joking about you dying if the cat disagreed? I wasn't lying. I am also not joking about you only getting one chance. The token won't work for you again if you fail and live.
But there are other beast species options here, if you want to try one of them." Karl reminded them.
One young woman stepped forward as she wrapped her hands in some sort of cloth.
"I would also like to try for a Moor Cat kitten. The young lady with the white stripe on her neck." She insisted.
The kitten turned to stare at the audacious upstart of a human kitten.
It didn't particularly dislike this human, but to think that a human thought they could be partners in any meaningful way? Ridiculous.
