*When she turned around she saw a 6'4" tall woman sanding a short ways behind her. The strange part though was that she appeared to be a bipedal white tiger. She wore only a slate tank top and tan shorts. Standing next to her was a 3' tall featureless humanoid creature covered in a mixture of white fur with black stripes and brown fur, like a fox.*

"Huh?" She asked, "What are you?"
-
*The featureless creature carves strange symbols into its chest as if it was made of gelatin. She seems to read them before looking back up and speaking.* [u]Heh, most people either run or seem really confused when they first see me or my cousins. I'm a Sphirinian, specifically a white tiger Sphirinian.[/u]
-
"How'd you get to Dojo?"
-
[u]I came here on a ship with the intent of us finding my cousin, Sketch, and forcing him to come back to Sphirinia... That backfired and I was left behind.[/u]
-
"I've been left behind and cast away many times."
-
[u]Well I'm not letting that happen again. Come inside.[/u] *She says, opening the door to the apartment building and motioning for her to enter.*
-
She follows Sapphire, taking note the architecture and the available exits.
-
*She leads Splash down a few flights of stairs before leading her down a hallway and to a door.* [u]Now, be very quiet... My daughter is sleeping in the bedroom...[/u] *She says before opening the door to the living room and stepping in.*
-
"Daughter?" She whispered.
-
[u]Well, not biologically... Adopted... She was the little sister of a friend before he was murdered... She's only six years old... Her name's Mari.[/u]
-
"Aww. Tragic story and she sounds cuuute."
-
[u]She is... Keep your voice down...[/u] *She opens the door to the bedroom very quietly. Cuddled up under the covers on the bed is a small sleeping werefox. Sapphire smiles a little as she looks at Mari before closing the door again.*
-
"I'll crash on the couch," She whispers. She wanders into the living room and falls asleep on the couch.
-
[u]Well that was fast...[/u] *She shrugs, walking back into the bedroom and closing the door behind her.* [spoiler]Timeskip till morning?[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Sure[/spoiler]
-
*Splash wakes up to the smell of what seems to be waffles. Sapphire was in the kitchen, currently making waffles as Mari sits on the counter and watches.*
-
"Mmm. Waffles," She mutters.
-
*She puts a couple on a plate and hands it to Mari. Mari takes the plate, bringing it over to Splash and holding it up for her.*
-
"Thank you," Splash replies, sitting up and starting to ear the pancakes.
-
*Mari smiles.* [u]You're welcome! I always find food is a good way to cheer someone up.[/u]
