It was at this revelation she peered over at the woman in question, then back down to the wolf with a blink. She had not quite put two and two together on the last thing he said before asking, "What do you mean not always a wolf?"

It was at that moment that Jherna was ushered inside, her heart in her throat because she had absolutely heard a nice chunk of that conversation! And there was no mistaking Simone's voice.

Oh Hakeshna, no.

Scurrying into the room, her eyes wide with horror as she saw poor Simone there, in wolf form, behind those bars and being questioned by the Shah herself, Jherna cleared her throat loudly.

"Shah Persea, Your Majesty, if I may...?" she said, folding her hands in front of her to keep them from twitching nervously. Her face was pale. "That is my slave, Your Majesty. Simone. The one I brought with me today..."

She trailed off, her voice taking on a miserable note as she looked back and forth from the Shah to Simone--Simone, who looked so pitiful, locked away like that, splattered in someone else's blood--and was he injured, too? Her heart clenched. "He, ah...he has a condition, you see..."

The slave that had come in with her? But she had only seen a man- and this wolf clearly was no man! Raising a sharp brow, she pressed, "A condition?" Her gaze seemed to narrow as she said with finality, "Please explain." But there was no real please about it. It was more or less a demand!

Malika had turned to acknowledge the approaching guard -- but as the Shah and her guest seemed determined to ignore him, there was little she, a slave, could do but continue to stand by unhelpfully should there be another question to answer...

Which is, perhaps, why the Shah's guest's explanation of just who sat in the cage made her react so dramatically.  She gasped softly as her hands lifted to her mouth.  That was Simone?  Kind Simone with the spectacles?

It did, in hindsight, explain why the wolf had seemed to appear so suddenly...and why Simone had vanished just as suddenly!

The sudden realization made her cheeks color in a scarlet blush -- or, perhaps, that was her embarrassment over her outburst.

Jherna cleared her throat and wet her lips. "Your Majesty, some time ago, he was...ah, bitten. Bitten by an animal. And since that day--or night, he'd have to correct me on that, not that it matters now, details and all! Anyway, since that time he has...well, he's had this odd affliction. Where sometimes he's a wolf, and sometimes he's a man."

Dear goddess that sounded utterly insane when she put it that way.

Master Jherna! He nearly yelped as he saw her, his heart fluttering faster. His yellow eyes darted between the Shah and his master, as well as catching glimpses of Malika, with her slender hands pressed to her mouth. He let out a small whine, unable to contain it. He hardly wanted to get any of them involved. He wished he never had ripped that thief's throat out. But what would have happened to the Shah then? What if that man had attacked him an Malika in the garden? There were so many questions he didn't have answers for, yet his scientific mind searched for the actual probability of such cases.

When Jherna spoke, it did sound utterly insane. But it was the truth, whether the Shah wanted to believe it or not.

"I-I...I do believe the correct term is werewolf, your majesty." He said in a quite voice.

Alegretto

Mal'hin quite thoroughly resented being ignored, and one of his guards, the seargent he'd left behind who had taken charge of the situation thus far, noticed his superior's rising temper. He walked quickly over to try and explain the situation.

"Sir, the merchant princess and the slave girl were fetched as you ordered, but the Shah insisted on being brought to the prisoner." He looked to make sure that Persea was out of earshot. "You know how she is," he whispered to his superior. "There was nothing we could do."

Mal'hin, slightly mullified, looked over at the room where Persea stood. He worked his jaw a couple of times and breathed deeply a bit. After he finished mastering himself, he smiled ruefully at the seargent, to show that he wasn't in trouble. "Yes seargent, I am all to aware of just how she is. Still, you did a good job getting all these men together to protect her. You've been impressing me recently seargent. Keep up the good work."

He patted the fellow on the shoulder, and then slipped passed him and the other guards so e could get close enought to the entryway to hear what was going on.

Persea grew quiet as she chewed over this new piece of information. She looked over to the nervous Merchant Princess, then back to the speaking wolf- never mind anyone else was there.
"So, you took it upon yourself to handle the thief?" And she regarded the statement- he had, after all, killed the intruder, which would have been the man's fate had he been captured alive. Of course, she had no idea in that moment, how to proceed handling all of that when another frantic guard rushed into the room, addressing Mal'hin.

"Sir! The second thief.."A nd here, he leaned into whisper the report. "They say he's made off wtih quite a lof of our Shah's jewels. He's so far thwarted are attempts to apprehend him but..." And here, he remained uneasy before revealing, "ANd well.. we've since lost sight of him so. For all we know, he's still onthe premiss."
And then, he added, after drawing in a quick breath. "And he's armed, sir. One guard having been killed already."

"He killed someone...?" As she said it, Jherna looked at Simone in horror. It was just a thief, apparently, and an intruder at that from what Shah Persea was saying, but hearing that still made her heart drop.

Not because she felt such a death was unjust; it was a thief, after all. But because this was Simone, and it was the killing of another person, and she was afraid of how the Shah would handle that. But she clamped her mouth shut again for it wouldn't do to speak without being addressed, and the guard that rushed into the room seemed to have distracted the Shah.

Taking advantage of the slight lull in conversation, Malika stepped a bit closer to the Shah.  Her voice was a soft murmur -- a pleasant sound, like water moving over stones -- as she pointed out, "Mistress, the thief hurt him -- badly, I think -- as he tried to defend your possessions."  Herself, included...  "Please, if there's anything I can do to help him, I would like to..."

Alegretto

His subordinate's words made Mal'hin frown. If his men couldn't catch a single thief they were more incompetent then he'd thought...

Wait, the wolf, Simone, had said that the first thief had been concealed with a spell. Maybe this second man was similarly outfitted. In which case normal men wouldn't be able to find him. He turned to the frantic guard. "Keep up the search, I'm going to work on an alternative solution."

So saying, Mal'hin forced his way to the front of the group clustered by the door. He looked over the wolf appraisingly before calling out to him, "Simone." Once he thought he had the wolf's attention he apike again, "Simone, do you think you could find another thief the same way you found the first?"

"Of course there is!" Persea snapped at her slave. "To stay by my side until this whole thing is all over with!" Though she was taking her anger out on Malika, her eyes lingered towards where Mal'hin was speaking to the wolf, and her ears perked up in hopes to hear what the animal would say.

Oh dear. They wanted his help? Simone, with a very dog like gesture, tilted his head at the captain when he spoke.

They weren't going to kill him? At least, not in that moment. He didn't know if he liked the growing anticipation of his doom. But helping them was the least he could do after bloodying the gardens. They were pretty flowers after all. And once something has blood on it, it's never the same again.

Simone stood up, though it was slow going, testing what little weight he could put on his injured leg. It wasn't much, but it was enough to keep him moving.

"I think... I-I think I can help." He stuttered out. His nose wasn't broken after all.

Ivory

"Yes, Mistress," she answered humbly.  And though she bowed her head in submission, as she always did, she continued to shoot pitying glances in Simone's direction.  After all, it was obvious how much pain he was in...but if it was her mistress's command that he should sniff out the thief's partner, then who was she to question it?

Alegretto

Mal'hin smiled predatorily at Simone's answer. The look in his eye would give the best carnivore after prey a run for it's money. "Alright then. Let us get to work."

So saying, the captain unlocked Simone from his restraints and cleared the people from the doorway so the wolf could reach the corridor. Once he was sure the way was clear, Mal'hin turned back to Simone, eyes gleaming with anticipation. "Whenever you are ready to lead the way, Simone."

Not wanting to test the patience of either the guard or the Shah, Jherna stepped outside into the corridor to wait for Simone, fidgeting nervously as she waited for him to emerge. He'd killed a thief, so...so that made him a hero, right? For defending the palace and the Shah herself? Hakeshna, she could only hope so. She'd always taken her slave's presence for granted, but now, the idea of losing him made her stomach clench.

But she bit her lip and waited for the rest of the party to follow. Hopefully she could get close to Persea so she could speak to her on the matter. It wasn't really her place, but she was hoping that, maybe, the Shah would respect her word at least a little, after spending a little alone time together going over perfumes.

Persea gave an impatient sigh and new full well the dangers she was in, but perhaps not all that it entailed. Still, she felt on edge and turned to one of the guards who had been designated to watch over her.

"You, escort me and the merchant princess to my chambers. We shall wait there, fully guarded, until we get news from the Captain of the intruder's death."
For she was certainly not going to keep the intruder alive if he were found that way. What would her father think if she did?

Not even giving a glance back to her companions, she moved with her entourage of guards back to her room.
