Well, it was called a monastery, but wasn't really one. It was more like the Master's personal home.
The Imperial Panthers themselves aren't a religious chapter. They don't see the emperor as a god. Instead, they view him as an ideal of hope. Of a future worth fighting for. They fully realize that what seats the golden throne of Terra is a dying saviour, that fell protecting humanity from his own spawn. And they worshipped not the Emperor, but humanity as a whole. They, most of all, abhor the Ordo Hereticus of the Inquisition, for their behaviour, their purpose, their entire existence ticks them off. And it's why they had accepted Alexis within their ranks.
The young girl had been a devoted sister her entire life, pledging her body and soul to the Emperor's service. However, when she was suspected of heresy by her fellow sisters, she had it all taken from her. Her identity, her devotion, it had all been lost. Using her hidden psyker powers, she managed to flee the enraged sisters, trapped on a rainy jungle planet. For a whole day she ran...
Exhausted, breathless and starving, she fell right into the hands of Valerius Caluroso. The Imperial Panthers were on a hunting run on the planet, when they found her. Before passing out, the last thing she saw was the bare moon shining a light down on her and Caluroso, whose shining yellow eyes were gently looking down at the poor woman, shielding her from the rain. For a time, his brothers refused to take her in. After all, she was a sister of battle, one of the blind followers of the god Emperor. But, Caluroso appeased the minds of his brothers. Alexis had nowhere else to go... they couldn't just abandon her. No. She was human, like them. So, they took her under their wing. While it had been two years since her rescue, letting go of her old habits proved difficult. But, during these two years spent under the direct, personal tutelage of the Panther, she had learned much from her brothers' lifestyle.
Caluroso stood, at fourteen feet tall, before a window. His shining armour gleamed from the light, it was ornate and crafted masterfully, depicting the long history of the chapter. He had his helmet on his head, he was unaware of her presence.

[b]Alexis covers herself with a blanket, trying to stay modest[/b]
-
The servitor, half man half machine, enters the room on it's treads. "Here... it'll take your measures and will get to making your suit for you."
-
[b]Alexis nods and stands up[/b]
-
The machine stands at eye level with her, scanning her whole body. After a minute, it leaves. "... well then, there's that."
-
"Yup, and now we wait....."
-
"In the meantime, are you hungry? I have food from my personal reserves I think you may enjoy..."
-
"Oh? What do you have in mind?"
-
"Meat, fruits, the like."
-
"I am really craving meat for some reason, and I rarely eat it..."
-
"Well, you'll have plenty to feast on."
-
"Alright, so where is it?"
-
He chuckles. "Hungry, eh? Come on." He walks to the door, walking out of their room. Minutes later and he was in the kitchen, preparing a meal for the two of them.
-
[b]Alexis waits for him, still nibbling on her tail.[/b]
-
He cooks for her an extra portion of lamb, noting how the side effects of the change were already affecting her appetite. After some time, he returns to her with their two plates.
-
[b]Alexis licks her lips and sits up.[/b] "It smells delicious..."
-
"I'm fairly certain it will be..." He smirks, bringing her plate to her. "Eat up, my sweet..."
-
[b]Alexis starts to eat her food, barely able to keep herself from devouring it within seconds.[/b]
-
He raises his brow at her hunger. "Dios mio... you weren't lying when you said you were hungry..."
-
[b]She nods as she finishes the food.[/b] "I've never been that hungry in my life..."
-
He chuckles as he eats his food. After swallowing a bite, he says. "You'll get used to it. It was like that for me when I first changed..."
-
"Alright.... I'd be a nightmare at a buffet..."
-
He chuckles. "It's nothing to worry about, Dearest. You'll learn to adapt yourself to your new form..."
-
"Yeah, it isn't that bad anyway. It's just big, really big...."
-
He smirks. "Indeed it is... in all the right places..."
-
"That too...." [b]Alexis flexes her hand, the claws popping in and out.[/b]
