Chapter 182 Drunken Bird

Now I knew that I needed to be on my guard! This woman had probably heard from Eliza that I wanted and knew that I would need to sneak out as a cat. Since I knew that she knew, and she knew that, it was reasonable to think that she placed the wire there while I was with Skylar. I was curious how she got it to snap up, but I knew it wasn't something you needed magic for.

This woman was very crafty, so I would have to make sure that I kept my eye out!

"I am just trying to stay out of sight from the roaming mobs," I said, and Goldey nodded.

"I heard about that! You have become quite the popular pussy. So, what are we betting on? What is the prize for the winner? Between you too? Are you going to try out some of this pussy, Senna?" Goldey teased, and Senna rolled her eyes.

"Please don't call me pussy. I know they say you are what you eat, but let's stick with the cat or my name," I sighed, and Goldey giggled.

"Alright, Ophiuchus. Now, the gambling? I didn't get out of bed just to come and see you, but I can make room if you want to come back?" Goldey asked with a hopeful look, and I grinned, shaking my cat's head.

"Not today; Listenia is waiting. Guess who is locked in her basement?" I asked, still smirking.

"No! Really? You locked her in the basement?!" Goldey gasped, putting her hands to her cheeks in shock.

"Not the whole basement! Just an oversized broom closet with a cot and one window. This is a punishment, not a vacation," I said, but Goldey just looked stunned.

"You just locking in a room?! Are you going to do that with me?!" Goldey asked, taking a step back from me, and I transformed, walking over to the Dwarven Goddess.

"Only if you want me to? I don't think that you need any lessons, right?" I asked as my tail swept around her.

"No! You are cheating! If you give me this tail, I will be begging you to lock me in a room with you!" Goldey complained, pushing back from me with a big grin and a slight blush on her slightly tanned skin.

"Well, what is the prize you want?" I asked, turning to Senna, and she just shrugged.

"Why don't we just decide when someone wins. Whoever wins gets to pick," Senna said casually with a straight face as she picked dirt from under her nails.

Highly suspicious. This would be like sighing my life away, but if I won, Senna would have to do whatever I said. This was a big risk if I was wrong.

For some reason, this choice felt like I was deciding if I was going to step into a dungeon filled with monsters or not. I took a moment to weigh the risk versus all the dirty things that I could make Senna try. The options were heavy, All or nothing, but I had already committed. I would look like a coward if I backed down now.

"Fine. I accept your terms, but just remember that you are the one that sets the rules. May the best of luck goes to both of us, but lean my way a bit more," I said with a feral grin as Senna returned as we firmly gripped hands.

"That sounds about right since you are the one that is going to need more luck if you ever hope to win!" Senna scoffed, and I rolled my eyes, but Chili, Eliza, and Breya made "ooo" sounds.

"That was some emotional damage if I ever see it! Does Galio have a return for this, or will he cut his laces while he is still behind?" Chili asked in her announcer's voice with her hands cupped over her mouth.

I transformed and left. Buggers!

I would give them all a show, and I was going to be the one to put that Senna in her place! I was pretty sure, but damn, I was still wrapping my head around the wire. Where the hell did that come from?!

I left the Manor but headed west to the wall that wrapped around the gate, hopping up and then running down the wall. At the end of the wall, I jumped, sailed about twenty feet to land on another roof, and headed south. Listenia's wasn't far, and I hoped that she left a window open for me or something.

Today had been another long day, but I did get to sleep in. then there was the fun after, so not too hard of a day. Now I was going back to do some training and then some fun with my favorite Elf.

It had been really cute when she had asked me to cuddle with her after her mother had frustrated her so much. Listenia was probably a really kind woman at one point. Years of being under her mother's thumb and scrutiny probably stripped that away.

I hopped from one rooftop to the next, but there was an eagle flying up above. I was sure that it was going to try and pick me off before I got to Listenia's, but this bird was messing with the wrong cat!

Jumping to the wooden peak of the next roof, I ran along the shakes, only one house away, but the eagle was now diving at me. I guess I was a pretty big target, but I was not in the mood to get hit by the rocket with wings.

I stopped and turned, then right before the bird was about to hit me, I jumped, spun, and kicked. The stupid bird slammed into the roof next door, messing up some of the wooden shakes covering the roof. I watched with great satisfaction as it slid off and hit the ground below.

Walking over to the edge of the roof, I looked down. To my surprise, the eagle had got up and was walking drunkenly down the empty section of the street. That was one tough bird.

I bounded back to the peak and then jumped over to Listenia's shop, and there was a light on in her upstairs window. Times for the final whined down of the night!
