"Why did you run off on your own after all of that? I'd been looking for you everywhere!"
Dante's head dropped apologetically as he followed behind him.
"I made everything a mess…" he said as he continued to be dragged along the crowded plaza, he felt down on himself during the time though Xavien didn't seem to care too much. He turned quickly to see Dante's face and frowned. He felt Dante's regret seething within himself, so he decided to give him a few words.
"You know, Terra appreciated the words you said."
"...She did…?"
"Yeah, her dad has always been like that. You might be the first person outside of Terra to reject his help, knowing who he is."
"...Really…?"
"Yes. Now quit your moping and get a move on, she's waiting."
"Terra's waiting?"
"You're asking a lot of questions."
The two continued to push through the crowd before finally reaching an opening in the crowd. The two were met with two large doors with people surrounding the building. Dante glanced around before spotting a sign above the doors.
"The Dancing Whistle."
"It's a tavern that we students frequent in the city, though Terra chose this as a meeting place after she got her emotions in check."
"It's way bigger than the one at home."
"I'd definitely say so, but I'd admit Rita's cooking would destroy this place."
"I guess you're right."
The two then pushed the doors open to be met with a lively atmosphere, the sounds of pints clinking and conversation were heard. Lively music played as people and creatures alike sat together. Dante seemed surprised to see some in particular walking around with big platters of food.
"What type of creatures are those?" Dante said as he pointed to one serving food. Xavien noticed and began to speak.
"Those are "Felina". They are a pretty intelligent cat based race, they're often seen running around doing daily tasks for others as work."
"I've never seen a cat carry a platter like that before."
"Like I said, pretty intelligent."
Suddenly one of the creatures walked up to them quickly and put their paws together.
"Welcome to the Dancing Whistle! My nyame is Harley, how may I help mew two gentlemen today?"
Dante looked over their appearance as he'd never seen one of these creatures before leaving the village. The one in front of them was of a smaller stature and had big blue eyes. Their white fur seemed to be well kept as they continually went to adjust it every few seconds with a big smile on their face. Their bushy tail swayed every so often to the sound of the music as well. Dante's eyes lowered as he went down to pick up the creature.
"Cute." he said as he lifted the small cat in his hands. Harley laughed lightly as they were lifted and smiled once more.
"If you're going to pet me, that's gonna cost nya more fil on your bill! Nyow can nya put lil ol me down?"
"Oh, right. Sorry…"
