[b][u]Puma's Secret[/u][/b]
[i]Near Ollimand, 22:30[/i]
Chase sat in front of his campfire, a bucket of water next to him.
His tent (Aka, a pitched tarp over a tall, metal spit) was behind him. He had a sleeping bag in the tent.
His puma, sat next to him. The spit over his fire was empty. Chase picked up the bucket of water, "Alright Tigress, I might hit the sack, in this cold tent."
He poured the bucket of water over the fire, putting it out.
"Puma... keep working on keeping out the fire."
"I will, Chase," his Ghost promised.
Chase crawled into his tent, "Good night, Puma."
"Good night, Chase," Puma replied, "Sleep well my Titan."
"Good night, Tigress," he told is big cat.
Tigress purred, laying next to him.
Chase got into his sleeping bag. Puma transmatted a pillow under his head. The black-haired Titan fell asleep.
Tigress walked out the tent.
After she did this, the puma would writhe in pain for a few minutes, as the puma would shapeshift.
Tigress had turned into an Awoken. An Awoken Huntress wearing Frumious Hunter armor and no helmet.
She had a pale magenta skin, light blue eyes, and deep cobalt hair.
"He's asleep, right?" She asked.
"Yes, he's asleep," Puma said, "Why?"
"You know I don't want him to find out," she replied.
"Vanessa... I'd to like say I'm sorry. When I first revived you in your puma form... I thought I had ressurected you as a mistake. I had no idea you were a shapeshifter."
"Hopefully, that taught you a lesson," Vanessa replied, "Never judge a book by its cover."
"I know... But why do you hide it?"
"Puma.... if something followed you around, like a pet for years, only to turn out to be not what they thought, what would you think?"
"Everything would be so confusing and I would question everything."
"Exactly," Vanessa replied.
She looked up to the stars through the branches. Her escape to the stars had made her an Awoken. Her eyes began to wonder. Space was the final frontier.
One day, she was going to explore it.

[spoiler] https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/241694418?page=0&sort=0&showBanned=0&path=1 Ike [/spoiler] [b]ike walks into the camp humming and whittling something. When he sees the hunter, the small dreg screams and jumps for cover. Shivering in fear the dreg wondered if he was going to be killed. He put his hand on his gun, hoping he wouldn’t need to use it[/b] [spoiler]this is not about the plot twist for Ike. He is just a dreg, afraid of guardians. [/spoiler]
-
"Huh?" Vanessa wondered. She was curious. She carried no weapons.
-
[b]ikes hands slowly go into the air, as if he was surrendering. Slowly he brings his head up to look at the guardian. He as a afraid look on his face.[/b]
-
"Oh, hello," she waved. She was surprisingly friendly.
-
[b]the dregs mind raced. He thought that the friendliness was just a cover and that he would be murdered. He wanted to reach for his gun, he wanted to reach for his gun, but the exotic beauty of that thing would make the guardian want to kill him more. So instead, he grabbed the keys for his pike. He stood up and stained at the guardian, a hand ready to pull out his gun. He slowly started backing away [/b]
-
"I won't hurt you," she told him.
-
[b]tie dreg keeps on backing up. Still afraid. “How can I trust you” He says in a fallen accent [/b]
-
"Wait? You speak English?" She asked.
-
“Lots. I learned” he says, still backing off
-
"Interesting."
-
[b]the dreg keeps on backing away from the hunter [/b]
-
"Okay. I'm just going to ignore you."
-
The dreg nods to the tent. “Who’s in there” he said, with his hand ready to pull out his gun. “Your a guardian. Why haven’t you killed me already

She scanned her surroundings for anyone or anything, and caught a glimpse of movement. That movement just so happened to be the Awoken huntress that stood outside the tent, chattering away with some unseen presence. The female figure was known as Suzume Hiroshi, but most of the common folk around referred to her as a wanderer with some exceptional skills with a blade. She was mentioned somewhat frequently since her arrival a few days prior, and word spread quite quickly. At the present, Suzume was slowly approaching the Awoken huntress, who she could barely make out at the present.
-
Her eyes did not move from the sky. But still, she spoke, "Hello."
-
Suzume stopped a few feet away from the huntress and performed a traditional courteous bow as a greeting before responding verbally. “Greetings.”

"Is this a good idea?" The goldenrod Ghost questionex. He sounded similar to Taiyang Xiao Long of Rwby. "It's fine, Puma."

Edited by Nightingale: 1/7/2018 3:08:41 PM[spoiler]lmao[/spoiler] Suzume approaches slowly, and eventually stands beside the huntress. She then removes the sheathed blade on her hip and places it in front of her as she sits down on her knees, in a sort of warrior position. She places her hands on top of her thighs after removing her large black jingasha, allowing her cat-like ears to be visible, as well as the rest of her face, and the bandana covering her left eye.
-
"You carry yourself like a warrior, who are you?"
-
“My name is Suzume Hiroshi. You may have heard of me if you have been around the city, word of my arrival spread around there rather quickly. They call me a wandering blade, which is true in a sense, as I am a ronin. I have been skilled in the blade since I was but a child, and have been training myself and honing my skills almost all my life.”

Edited by Splashback77: 1/7/2018 5:36:42 PM"Well, it helps to have expirence."
-
“Indeed, it does help a tremendous amount to have experience. Without experience, one would be fighting a losing fight for the entirety of an exchange or altercation.”
-
She nodded.
-
“So, what brings you out here on a night like this?”
-
She gestured to the tent. "I am the companion of the one asleep. He doesn't know I'm a shapeshifter. He thinks I'm a puma."
