Luffy looked puzzled. This was hardly a spectacular accomplishment, of course, as sweet-but-stupid young man in the straw hat found himself feeling confused over a great number of things in this world and in any other. This was different, though; he had good reason to be concerned this morning, as he had been strolling quietly along, his long, slender arms swaying as he soaked up the calm and quiet morning atmosphere. Something, skittering just in front of him, had appeared from an alleyway not yet brightened by the psuedo-sunlight, and froze suddenly as it glared at him with what he could only assume to be a very large eye in the middle of its body. Luffy froze immediately as well in mid-step - leaving one leg slightly elevated from the ground, as he had not yet put his foot down before he stopped- and squinted his eyes examingly at it, his face scrunched inquisitively.

"It's...a really ugly cat?" he mused aloud, not knowing how to describe this being. Its appearance left him without words, with nothing like it in his own world to compare it to. With a blend of grays, blues, reds, and purples along its small, scaley body, as well as horns emerging from a variety of angles, Luffy simply stared silently at it for a moment.

The creature, driven by its aggressive instinct and likely sensing an easy target, took a few shuffling steps towards Luffy. In response...he did nothing. Luffy simply stood there, still not moving, his leg still raised, still wearing the same curious expression on his face. "No..." he finally said, as if correcting himself, "...it's a sheep. I think."

Whatever it actually was, sheep or cat, the creature moved a little closer, emitting a soft little buzz, as if a swarm of insects were drawing closer. "No! Sheep don't make that sound, so it's something...different?"

The creature, definitely not a sheep at this point, came just a little closer, then stopped suddenly and remained flawlessly motionless for a moment. A hush fell between the two; Luffy had apparently run out of ideas on what he should decide this being actually was, and stayed quiet until he could come up with something new.

Humming through the air, Luffy saw it suddenly lunge at him, the dragging claws on the bottom of its body outstretched. Finally taking his next step, his foot at last touching down, Luffy held out his hand to intercept it, wrapped his palm squarely around its 'face', then jerked it out of its flight and slammed it sharply against the wall.

"Huh!" he huffed, exaggerately put off by its rude behavior. "What's wrong with you, little thing? I was just trying to figure out what you are."

Ahnassi was definitely impressed at Luffy's agility and the skill with which he managed to fend off most of the creatures. Still, there were far too many of them for him to give her complete protection. To her dismay, one of them almost made it around him, despite his best efforts. He had managed to pin it down, but Ahnassi could clearly see that holding it back was going to seriously hinder the rest of his defense. If he didn't let it go, it would either turn on him and possibly injure him trying to tear itself free, or else the others would swarm over them both and then it would all be over.

The Khajiit was completely terrified. It felt like her blood was ice in her veins, but at the same time, she also had a strange sense of clarity. Maybe it was because she had been a thief for so long... One of the first things you had to remember was to never let yourself give in to panic, or else you would be quickly caught. She knew she had to do something, or they might both be killed.

She leaped almost without thinking, arcing over the sinscale's grasping claws. For a moment, she seemed to overshoot her target, then one hand shot out and sharp feline claws tore into the side of the sinscale's neck. Ahnassi used her momentum to swing around and onto the back of the creature, gouging deep furrows into its neck as she completed the maneuver. Then, before it could buck her off, she bit down on what looked like its shoulder and grabbed its throat with her free hand, digging in with her claws as best as she could. In a way, it was just like hunting prey... Except prey wasn't usually trying to kill her.
