Scar let out a loud growl coming from his lion traits. It was the loudest Scarny had ever heard. HE then charged at the water and didn't seem to jump but just kept running. Within seconds he was under Scarny swimming around with her on his back. This was his favorite part of the day. Coming to lake and just having fun with Scarny. He missed these days and he was getting them back
Jay half laughed, half snorted at Tess's question of being married. Of course she wasn't married. What man in his right mind would want a girl like herself to support? Jay held both of her hands and wiggled her fingers around. There were six rings on her left hand and seven on her right and numerous bracelets jangled as her hands moved. "Nah." Jay laughed and then continued, "None of these are wedding rings." Jay sighed and placed her hands back at her side. "Yeah, I live with my adoptive mother. She used to be a cook when she took me and my brother in, but then she got sick. Dancin' may make me a lot of gold, but it's enough. My brother pays part of the bills, but it's mostly jus' me, her, and the left o'er money from 'er restaurant." Jay was about to add the money that she got for private dances, but stopped herself before she said anything of it. Jay sighed before looking up at the girl with a small smile. She didn't want this girl or anyone for that matter pitying her. "I can't feel sorry for myself though. There are too many people who got it worse than I do." She gave a small chuckle and silently asked herself why she was telling this girl anything about herself.

Very curtly, Jay said, "I dance 'cause I like it." Jay looked at Tess and then down at her sandals with a sigh, knowing that no one would buy what she was saying. Instead, Jay decided to tell this girl the truth. "I dance 'cause I can't do anythin' else. My adoptive mother, Nessa, she made some good money, but she got sick when I was still too little t' keep the restaurant open. Trus' me, I tried so hard to open it again when I got older, but there ain't enough money in the world." Jay shook her head as she remembered the numerous futile attempts to reopen Nessa's restaurant.
Jay gave a quick snort and a laugh at Tess's question of work. "There ain't enough work in the world for everyone." Jay stopped seeing her tone was a bit too harsh and remembering that this girl had barely been out of the keep in her entire lifetime. Jay continued more softly, "Look, it's just that there are people who ya don't even wanna know how low on the totem pole they're. I'm lucky to have a roof over my head, and you are too." Jay sighed, realizing once more that her words sounded a bit too harsh. "I'm sorry, it's just that I've seen some bad stuff 'round 'ere, and it's hard talkin' 'bout it with someone."
"Hey!" Tess turned to see a woman shaking herself after being splashed with water after Jewel had dived into the fountain. "Oh dear," Tessla sighed, walking on over to the lady. "Forgive my Creature, please," she bowed her head slightly. "I am afraid she likes playing in the water and forgets that there are others around who do not appreciate it as much as her." Tess turned to give a warning glare at Jewel, though both of them understood that it was mostly for show. She couldn't help but smirk when she saw how wet Birdie had gotten while trying to chase Jewel.

"Well, your Creature must be pretty sneaky to get past my Birdie, 'ere." Jay only chuckled. Tess rolled her eyes. "Jewel has had a lot of practice being sneaky, believe me." Jewel let out a muffled chirp underneath the hanky as if agreeing. The girl turned to admire Birdie. "Your Creature is fantastic. I bet many people think twice before approaching you." Jewel let out a disappointed mew and Tess lifted up the wet creature, bunches of fur sticking up everywhere. "You are ferocious, too. I bet that nasty man will have to finally wash his hands. I hope you do not get sick." While the last sentence was still part of her tease, Tess couldn't help but wonder if Jewel really could have caught something from biting the man.
"Well I sure hope she doesn't." Jay thought for a moment and then, as if a light bulb appeared over her head, Jay gave a quick, "Oh!" Without giving the girl an explanation, Jay slid a hand into the makeshift feather on Birdie's wing and pulled out a small pouch. She opened the pouch and produced a tiny herb. Birdie shuddered at the sight of the herb and Jay only smiled. It was an herb that Nessa had given her. It was quite bitter, but always kept Birdie from getting sick after licking or eating something he shouldn't have. Jay held the palm out with the herb to Tess. "It don't taste that good, but it'll keep her from gettin' sick. At least it works for Birdie. He eats everythin'." Jay chuckled at the thought of all the things her Creature had eaten in all their years together. She didn't know whether this girl trusted her enough to take the herb, but only hoped that she trusted her enough after Jay had helped her out with the man from before.
((Sorry! Finals are fast approaching and I got buried in papers to write.))
