Made Our Plight

It had been several weeks since she first emerged from her egg to the sight of her perceived parents. Of course, she had no concept of what parents were nor that the word existed. Pandora only knew the intense desire to follow and obey the first things she saw, the effect of imprinting, another word she didn't know. The small creature had been designed the way she was, being naturally inclined to thinking about any of her own design would have lead to her questioning if the goals she was coded with were morally right, so they had obviously taken that out in prototypes far before her project. Fortunately, her genetic program was also sequenced to allow swift learning and incredibly advanced problem-solving. Combining those with her need to obey those she had imprinted on? Meant that Erika and Astrid could leave her on the crystal swan ship with no worry as she had already been taught she shouldn't anything onboard the ship, it was something of a den territory, one didn't kill in their own den unless threatened it could draw other predators.

Tiny claws scuffed softly against the concrete floor, legs bent slightly to hold her body lower as the living weapon practiced an essential skill, stalking. Just because she was born to be great at such activities, did not mean she was exempt from needing to practice, actually it was all the more reason for her to work hard because it meant however good someone could get with practice she could be better with it. At the moment, the raptor was stalking a girl with deep red hair down to her shoulder blades.

Half the day, that was how long she had been following her 'target' and it was exceedingly fun to follow someone like this without them having any idea. Of course, the girl likely had a creepy feeling or something by now, but it didn't matter. Pandora was not perfect yet and it was highly likely an occasional glimpse had been seen, this was practice after-all. The living weapon decided it was time to make her move, she couldn't kill anyone on the ship but that didn't mean she had to stop at stalking practice! In fact, Pandora suspected if she could get one of these vile humanoids to 'understand' her she could spar with them for practice. Astrid couldn't get upset over sparring if no one got hurt.

At the turn of a corner, the female would finally make her move on the humanoid, leaping up and over her in order to land on a fountain in front of the redhead. Sharp ruby eyes narrowed slightly as she walked forward with her head tilted a few steps. Finally, she vocalized, though it was nothing like that of humans, it was more close to the trill of a raccoon. What would this human's reaction be to finally getting to see the thing that had been falling them around all day? Was anyone else around, she had tried to pick a low traffic place to reveal herself, at her age she had a natural sense of caution to avoid a situation where she could be attacked in an outnumbered fashion.

It had been a fairly normal day for Rosabell, well as normal as a day involving her could be. Despite spending nearly a month within the guild, somehow she had yet to explore the entire ship-much to her annoyance. It was simply so big, and despite her vow to see every nook and cranny, she hadn't even explored half of the damn place. Of course while she could blame it on having other things to do-like missions or the like, she actually just would get distracted so easily by the new sights and locations, that instead of a twenty minute visit she would usually end up marveling for three hours or more, much to her dismay. Deciding that she should probably take her ship escapade in smaller more planned steps, instead of wandering around aimlessly she actually had a set destination in mind and would go from there. She was actually heading for a restaurant that one of the guild members tipped her off about, a place that sold exotic minstrel cuisine, obviously she was immediately invested in going, and worked on some jobs non-stop to obtain the jewel to be able to pay for the rather expensive meals. She had never tasted a dish that wasn't native to Fiore, so simply the prospect of tasting something exotic had her curiosity peaked to the max.

Rosabell was in no rush of course, her steps rather slow and nonchalant. She simply didn't have a reason to be in a hurry, it was a far distance away and walking into a high class establishment looking like you just ran a marathon certainly wasn't the way to go. Of course she also had another form of entertainment that was keeping her from going to fast- and that just so happened to be the person tailing her. Now if it were any normal person they probably wouldn't have had the slightest clue as to their being followed, but Rosabell was far from normal.

Rosabell had increased senses due to her rather bestial magic, making her able to hear the pitter patter of claws against concrete rather easily, and while she wouldn't openly state it due to it possibly offending some people, whoever was following her reeked of lizard. Of course she didn't make a move to show that she noticed, as just exposing her stalker wouldn't have been fun, besides if she had a fan who was she to complain about it. Of course if the person made stalking her in public a permanent past time, she was sure she would eventually put an end to it, but today was not that day.

Then when she rounded the corner, she saw it a small reptilian figure leaped over her and landed onto a fountain in front of her leaping off and stalking towards Rosabell in a cautious manner letting out an eerie noise that she couldn't understand. For a moment nothing happened, all was still as slit golden predatory eyes met equally bestial if not more dangerous ones, and then Rosabell smiled nervously letting her sharp fangs been seen before backing up slightly.

"Uhm..Nice lizard..?"

Every single thing experienced by Pandora was another way to learn numerous things about the vast world around her, so she could better understand how to destroy it. One glance into the warm-blooded creature's eyes and someone could tell she was mentally dissecting everything she saw. The smallest breath? Had an infinite meaning to the creature, gave her an insane amount of micro-information she could combine in order to make someone's end. The first she saw was how nervous the humanoid girl seemed to be about her presence. Quickly Pandora collected the other had no idea of any purpose behind her vocalization and that the redhead quite possibly could be frightened of her to some extent. A shiver of pleasure traveled up her spine at the idea someone possibly could be scared of her, in that instance she decided that she enjoyed causing fear in others. Pandora would have learned her sadistic love regardless as it was genetically coded into her, it just so happened the circumstances at the moment combined for her to learn about it.

A dangerous glimmer passed through her gleaming red optics. The long muzzle of her opened slightly revealing the sheer mass of jagged tearing teeth within her jaw as she let out a sound akin to a hiss. The raptor wanted to see just how much she could frighten the girl in front of her, sickle claw tapping the ground in a steady rhythm as she slinked forward several steps and snapped her jaws once. Only one thing gave away that this was for enjoyment instead of hunting, her tail was wagging.

Rosabell eyes the creature cautiously, and even though she was loathe to admit it she also felt the tingling sensation of trepidation crawling up her spine as it seemingly analyzed her. While she wasn't afraid of reptiles, she certainly didn't like them-they just made her uncomfortable, although this one wasn't slimy and gross looking like a frog or a newt. It was more majestic on it's own way despite being no bigger than a small dog, it kinda made her wonder if there was any ancient lizard takeovers she could get. She didn't really consider Quetzalcoatl a lizard as it was covered in sparkly rainbow feathers, so it was more birdlike in her opinion. Although this lizard didn't seem too bad, if anything it looked afraid of her from how deeply it was trying to analyze her.

Of course that was when it decided to try and act even more intimidating, tapping its claws and hissing, and she could've sworn that it snapped it's jaws at her once or twice. Her eyes narrowed instantly. Who did this thing think it was? She could easily manhandle this little lizard, and yet it was trying to intimidate her? She had half a mind to pull out one of her takeovers and show this little reptilian thing who was the alpha in this situation, but she decided against it as starting a fight wouldn't be ideal in the middle of the street. Although it did make her wonder who would win between a wolf and a miniature raptor thing.

Approaching the creature with slow steps she decided to make this thing understand she wasn't afraid of it, but then she saw it. It's tail was wagging, exactly like a dogs showing how much it enjoyed this little scare game it was playing with her. "Ooohh, you're a domestic lizard thing! You're not lost are you?" She would them march over to the reptile, concern more in her eyes than anger at this point. "I don't see a collar..any idea where your owner is?" She would say temporarily forgetting that she was speaking to a lizard.

Pandora was afraid of nothing, firstly she had not been alive long enough to develop fear and secondly if she was fearful it would interfere with her running into bullet fire to complete her genetic objective. Sometime or another it would be found that the scientists had missed a few genomes connected with fear responses, but for now, Pandora didn't know what fear even was. The only thing this hatchling knew was the intense desire to rip its fangs into an enemy, an instinct being suppressed by the only thing she felt more strongly than her urge to kill! Only the instructions of her imprinted 'mothers' could overcome what she had been made to do, and luckily they had given commands she could understand, no killing on board.

What if she could get this girl off the ship? Would it be alright to end her then, Pandora wasn't sure yet and the 'reptile' didn't want to disappoint Astrid or Erika, so she would refrain for now. Once she decided to not even attempt her little plot to enable murder, was when things changed because the objective of her 'game' changed from the behavior it should have been displaying. Why did this girl appear to suddenly like her?

Pandora backed up slowly looking Rosa up and down, evaluating once more for several seconds. Almost instantly, the raptor figured out that the other had figured out she belonged on the ship in some way, thus eliminating any fear that might have been there. Why did the game of scaring this mortal have to end so soon? Sickle claws tapped against the concrete beneath her feet again, trying to devise a new plan to further her entertainment until the two people most important to her returned from wherever they had gone. That was it! Redhead thought she was lost and helpless.

The game was back on and the glint entered her eyes once more, tail swaying lightly she bobbed her head in the north direction back towards the actual 'ship' portion of the guild ship. Once she nodded the creature took off swiftly, staying just within sight the entire time in an effort to lead the other girl back home. Pandora would lead Rosa down into the section of the ship that only guild members were allowed to access, walking directly to one of the rooms.

Once Rosa caught up she would catch the first glance of any alignment from the creature when she turned revealing the guild mark on one shoulder, leaping up to catch her claws on the handle and open the door. Pandora nodded towards the room as if she wanted the redhead to go inside, before rushing indoors herself.

The room was rather like the typical ones, not many clues laying around. However, on a table in the room sat one picture which held all three of them. Another clue was the lizards name, p-a-n-d-o-r-a being spelled across the pet bed laid in the corner which she promptly laid in for the moment. What would the redhead do now?

Rosabell tilted her head quizzically as the lizard seemingly backed away, and began to think tapping it's claws in a seemingly frustrated manner. At least that's how it appeared to her, although maybe lizards were actually able to strike thinking poses and she simply didn't know about it. Of course she blamed her ignorance on her lack of being around creatures of the cold blooded nature, although if she was going by the creature she saw I front of her maybe she should re-evaluate her opinions on them, this one was actually kinda cute and not all slimy.

Then out of the corner of her eye she saw it's tail swaying and it's head bobbing north as if trying to show her where it was supposed to go, before dashing off in said direction. Rosabell immediately gave chase of course, completely forgetting the fact that her original destination was in the opposite direction of where she was currently being shipped off to. Strangely enough despite the reptile having a decent head start, and obviously having a higher ground speed than Rosabell it managed to stay in her sights the entire time, as if purposely trying to make sure she didn't get lost.

It was by this point she realized that they had entered a guild member only zone, indicating that the creature was somebodies pet, she had heard of guild pets with magic and the such, Crystal Swan itself even had it's own Exceed from what she had heard, although she had yet to lay eyes on it. Eventually she would catch a short glance of the creatures shoulder smiling happily at the sight of the guildmark, further proving her suspicions of it belonging to someone in the guild. Then the Lizard opened up a door like it was an everyday occurrence making her jaw nearly drop, this definitely wasn't your average lizard.

Walking into the room she saw that it was like the typical guild room stylized slightly but at the same time not too flashy or grand. She caught a glance of the name p-a-n-d-o-r-a on a bed in the corner, before seeing the lizard run over to a small pet sized bed in the corner as if it was claiming it. Realizing that Pandora was it's name she smiled brightly at least she had something to call it other than lizard and reptile.

She decided to stay silent and examine the room for any clues going into sleuth mode for a couple seconds only to find a picture on the table that explained everything. On the picture was were two of the guild aces Astrid and Eirika seemingly holding an egg of sorts. The egg was much larger than any reptile egg that she had seen before. Immediately everything clicked into place, Erika and Astrid had found this egg and brought it to the guild, which would eventually hatch into Pandora, and judging by her current size compared to the egg in the picture she realized that Pandora wasn't that old.

Looking over to Pandora she smiled, at least she understood a bit more, and seeing as the lizard was part of the guild, it meant she would actually get to see it a bit more, then she understood why it was chasing her and trying to intimidate her, it was young and didn't seem to have any siblings so it must've been lonely, she was probably the first person that pandora saw causing it to follow her in an attempt to 'play'. "Aww, you must've been lonley and wanted to play, or hungry from the way you were first looking at me, but regardless if you were bored you should've just said so!" She would then tap her chin as if in thought. "What do carnivorous lizards do for fun though.."

Her eyes would then brighten as if a lightbulb just went off in her head, she had some beef jerky in her pocket in case she got hungry on the long walk to the fancy restaurant, pulling it out of her pocket as if it were a sacred object, she held it in the air. "We could play some fetch with beef jerky if you want?" Tasting food from a bougie restaurant could wait, she was going to entertain Pandora if it was the last thing she did, and if that meant raiding some poor blokes bunny farm, she would do it.

Constantly trying to intricately decipher the enigmatic life form that was the absolutely vile humanoids who had made a living, thinking, and feeling creature for no purpose except to have it dominate the torment of war. Understanding why Project Threshold had ever become an idea for someone and thus how she had come to exist, it was a driving force behind the intensity she evaluated everything with. Normally the red-head would be completely right about lizards not being animals that really struck thinking poses, most of them were simply preoccupied with survival. Pandora? Was no average reptile and because of that simple fact, Rosabell was completely wrong, the raptor was indeed striking her own version of a thinking pose. Every single moment they continued to interact, the smaller creature was thinking in ways that would make her beyond dangerous once she was large enough to rival the size of men.

The experiment had certainly been given high levels of reasoning and deduction, enough so it almost seemed as if she was empathetic in the way some other creatures could be. Of course, true empathy would only be flawed in the battlefield, so her original designs did not have room for such a trait, but it remained to be seen if she could be taught. Ensuring someone didn't get lost while following after her, was a sign of the fact she may have been too well programmed in the art of learning. Ensuring she was followed? Could have been as simple as leaving clues which would have been more efficient for a predator as getting out of sight would permit an ambush. Yet, she had stayed within sight. Was this due to just not actively hunting for slaughter or something more than her intended purpose developing.

The moment the mages jaw dropped in response to her opening the door? Pandora knew she had the upper hand in this situation. Humanoids were something she had a very good understanding of to work from, this girl had no understanding of her to base any of their interaction off. The intelligence she held would be more than enough to keep her 'upper claw' on the taller existence. Oh how wonderful it would be when she could take an even larger upper hand on something when she got large as the scientists said she would!

One thing about everything Rosabell had theorized could potentially be true. Pandora very well could be lonely even though she didn't know what that meant. When she first gained her senses? The female had known the numerous other eggs around her all held something that was the same species as her, siblings. However, she had been the only one to survive until the point where emerging from the egg was possible. Pandora had experienced the loss of her 'family' before she even knew what loss was, and it left the same rage it would had she understood the concept of loss.

Should have said so? Not bloody likely, things shaped as those who had created her did not deserve to hear her voice. Pandora knew she could speak, it had to be added so she could also perform recon, she just didn't see humaniods as worth speaking to. Even Astrid and Erika, only heard her animalistic sounds.

At the present moment, she would play off the assumptions of her living toy, rising from the bed to come to a few feet in front of her, looking up at the jerky. Pandora was capable of getting into the fridge but this was more interesting.

Rosabell's eyes twinkled in fascination as Pandora actually came up to her and looked up at the jerky she was holding, a victorious smile of sorts forming on her face. In her a mind a small Rosabell chibi was dancing on her head holding up a victory sign. If she was being honest Rosabell was surprised that the reptile had gotten up and came over to her, half expecting it to hop on over to the fridge and grab something out of there as if stating that it could feed itself on its own, after seeing it open a door like it was a everyday occurrence anything was game when it came to the reptiles abilities. Of course this only proved her hunch that the Pandora was lonely and wanted someone to play with, at least in her mind. Afterall despite Pandora being a reptile, she was still a child and children needed attention, luckily as Rosabell had a pretty short attention span she was no stranger to finding ways to occupy her time on the fly.

Of course Rosabell was far from the babysitting type, as no one in their right mind would trust her to watch their kids, but Pandora was more independent and obviously able to take care of herself just fine, if anything Pandora was more akin to a playmate than a child who needs to be watched-as Rosabbell's level of maturity could sometimes be more childish than an actual child. Inability to be an adult aside, Rosabell would head out the door, in a redundant fashion jerky still in hand, happy to be outside of the room.

While she had done more than her fair share of breaking and entering in her lifetime she still didn't feel comfortable being inside of a room that supposedly belonged to two aces of her guild, without permission, and while Pandora leading her to it could be considered permission in it's own twisted way that didn't mean that it made it any better. Rosabell had already stolen some of Eirika's undergarments, and she didn't think that she would take to kindly to having her panty thief rummaging around in her belongings without much thought.

Looking back to make sure Pandora had followed her she would take a piece out of the bag and munch on it, seeing as she wasn't going to make it into that fancy restaurant as long as she was entertaining Pandora, though it would be pretty funny if Rosabell just walked into the place with a dog-sized reptile following behind her, as if bringing bloodthirsty lizards was an everyday occurrence for her.

"So Panda Paws, Just in case you don't understand the fundamentals of fetch, I'm gonna throw this piece of dried deliciousness, and you're gonna catch it in your mouth before it hits the ground, since your reptilian slobber is going to be all over it- you're free to just eat it and come back, although I must warn you I've got one hell of an arm. If you do it gracefully enough I might just give you an extra reward." She would say this with a grin, happy at the nickname she just came up with on the spot. Keeping true to her word she would pull out one of the larger pieces and rear her arm back focusing straight ahead, before letting the piece of meat fly. While she could've used one of her takeovers to make it fly much, much further- she wanted to get a general gauge on Pandora's speed before upping the ante.

Everything was noted down to the smallest breath just as it had been for the first second Pandora chose to interact with Rosabell for the day. Narrow optics observed that this humanoid was indeed gullible as the raptor believe her to be, the proof being that the other seemed to think she had won something. Choosing to neglect to feed herself for playing around with the redhead was already proving interesting and teaching her about the frequency at which humanoid beasts underestimated others. Did those who walked around on hairless feet appreciate being taken for fools or did they just dislike looking deeper beneath the surface of every action in an attempt to discern what was intended? The idea of being lonely was foreign to her, but even as her mind churned in entertainment, she was lonely.

There went her carefully crafted plan, another lesson for the hunter to never play with true prey if this had been a kill she would have missed it. Rosabell walked out of the room, meaning that Pandora could no longer use the room's pocket dimension creation ability to mess around with the girl. Luckily, she was not trying to end the life of the redhead, simply play with her so the four-legged one didn't mind changing the game up. Going along with the game that the other girl seemed to have in mind? Was still entertainment until Astrid and Erika returned home sometime, hopefully soon. Being designed as she was, this entertainment was essential otherwise she would simply go out of her mind. Actually, that had happened to a few of the test subjects before the final batch, at least from what she had heard inside her egg.

Panda Paws, it would work, she had a preference for being called simply Pandora or Blue, but no humanoid even the ace's were worth telling that. Listening carefully she understood exactly what was expected of her and knew she would be able to play the game without any fault. Catching those pieces of meat? Would be just like catching a bird or such out of the sky, hunting, a skill required for murder, what she was literally genetically made to do. How the creature understood her so well would likely remain a mystery to Rosabell for now, as assuming some reptile knew at least a good portion of the human language was ridiculous. It would be much easier to assume one of her 'owners' had played the same game with her.

No trace of hesitance existed the second that piece of jerky left Rosabells hand, the predator was after it. Only moments after the target had left the redheads hand, the raptor was in the air and her jaws had already closed around the meat. With the speed that Pandora had just moved it was glaringly clear she had restrained herself when getting the other to follow her, the raptor stood only a few meager feet ahead as she swallowed the meat. How would the other react, would she have to come back to the side of the other for the came to continue, what was the range she had to get back into for the next throw.

Rosabell's eyes lit up with excitement as Pandora effortlessly caught the piece of beef jerky, showcasing her incredible speed almost immediately. A simple 'She's fast' coming to her mind as she gazed at the creature with morbid curiosity, her slitted eyes widening for only a fraction of a second as the display of Pandora's speed constantly replayed in her head. No domestic animal should have been able to move at that speed, much less a dog sized lizard. Although she waspicked up by two guild aces, meaning she had to be something special. She had heard of exceeds and the such, capable of human understanding and even speech, maybe Pandora was a similar case-just without the speech. It would explain how she seemed to be responsive to anything she said to her, even understanding the principles of fetch nearly instantly. A slightly feral grin adorned Rosabell's features as she gazed at her suddenly extremely interesting playmate. Perhaps Pandora wouldn't be the only one getting their fill of entertainment today.

Reaching into the bag of jerky once more she would pull out three pieces, no longer caring about the size of the jerky, simply Pandora's ability to catch them. She haphazardly began tossing them in the air, catching them with one hand as she gazed at Pandora, her excited grin still present. "Alrighty Panda Paws, I'm going to up the ante so be prepared!"

Without giving a single second of hesitation she would toss the first piece directly at Pandora, with much more force than she had previously. The first piece was to act as a feint, as right after Rosabell immediately threw another piece, although this time a bit higher up so that Pandora would have to jump to obtain it. Then with a slight delay, she would toss the final piece aiming it a bit lower than the second but still to the point where Pandora would have to put in some effort to obtain it. Rosabell was using this as an experiment of sorts, and depending on Pandora's actions it would either prove her right or wrong towards whether Pandora was just an exotic domesticated lizard, or something more.

Narrow optics were keenly focused on the current object of her play that was actually much darker then normal play as nearly everything she did was to heighten her ability to kill. Whatever piece of juicy test this girl clearly had on her mind? Would not be any difficulty for her! Pandora could sense something different coming from just from the gleam in those golden optics, her brain whirling to make sure she was ready for whatever happened next. She would never fail at her purpose even if her target was already dead and processed. Any entertainment that another could derive was nothing compared to the rush the raptor got when fulfilling the purpose she had been genetically coded for, the scientists had made sure of that.

It was time, the voice of Rosabell had said that clearly and the predator was already crouched down, ready to go. Everything was much slower for Pandora then it was for everyone else, not literally of course, but her brain processed the information so fast that it seemed in slow motion to her. One had been thrown but she knew that couldn't be the only thing that would happen because the other had stated this would be more difficult then what had happened before. Those split milliseconds she waited were enough to allow the predator to see the two other pieces which had been thrown as well and permit her to formulate an instantaneous plan of attack.

She first went for the lowest piece, the final one tossed as she only had to stand on her hind legs in order to capture it. Using the energy generated from her rear and gravity together? She easily dove back down to a crouch to catch the first piece that had been thrown and finally sprung up to catch the second piece. The plan had worked and she ate her spoil of victory swiftly, tilting her head back and sliding it around her incisors to tear it slightly as one of the pieces had been a bit big for her to just swallow.

Rosabell watched with fascination as Pandora effortlessly caught the three pieces, the feint that she had come up not even being a minor inconvenience to her. It was at this point that Rosabell understood that Pandora was definitely not your average beast, opening a door could be taught to a number of creatures, so could understanding how to play catch, hell animals could even be taught to understand humans to a certain degree. However one thing she was certain that an average animal couldn't do was understand a feint, and come up with a plan to bypass it within the span of less than a couple seconds, while still managing to collect it along with the other two pieces.  The ability to understand a trick like that was not a cognitive function that an animal should have. Pandora was already able to do more than some humans were able to do, make rational judgment based on a situation, and act accordingly in a way that is the most efficient.

Breaking out of thought, Rosabell gave Pandora a full toothed grin, making sure to show her happiness with Pandora's actions, however her eyes told a different story. They were gazing at Pandora with a calculating and curious gaze as if trying to dissect her, it was a look that wanted to see more. Rosabell couldn't help herself, she wanted to see just how deep Pandora's ability to act was. Her next test would require a little more deeper thinking than catching pieces of meat in the efficient order. This next test would see how well Pandora could incorporate timing and her surroundings to solve a problem. Like before she grabbed three pieces of meat out of the bag, although this time she payed a little more detail to the sizes of each piece, making sure that one was significantly bigger than the other two, which were much thinner. "Alright this one's simple, just catch all three pieces before they touch the ground."

Stepping back a bit she would look up, rearing her arm back and chucking the piece at the sky, before quickly stepping forward and throwing the second piece level with Pandora's head. Then immediately after she would do an underhand toss with the final one, making it arc higher than the second one, but closer to her own body, making sure to squat slightly after she was done. This way both the second and the third pieces would approximately be at the exact same level by the time the second one reached Pandora's position.

If Pandora went after the second one first, then the third would hit the ground, but if she went after the third, then the second would be impossible for her to obtain, there was a solution, but it was up to Pandora to use the meat being at the same level at the same time to figure it out.  The first would fall right in the same spot that Rosabell had thrown it, however it wouldn't land till a bit after the final two, and as Rosabell was in front of the spot that it would land, charging straight through her wasn't going to work, however Rosabell was squatting, making one direction wide open, above. She didn't know why, but she had a feeling that Pandora was going to once again impress her.

Efficiency was a major thing for the small creature, the only way to truly accomplish the purpose she had been coded for was to be incredibly efficient at the numerous skills involved. The ability to not only evaluate any situation but also use that information in intelligent decision making swiftly was paramount to ensuring outcomes she desired. However, she would have other skills to develop as time went on, like training down the tunnel vision she had been born with. While how hard she went at her target could be a great advantage? Her ability to learn would eventually teach Pandora that she needed to be enabled to focus on much more than her target in order to ensure flawless victory over her enemies. She would overcome the flaw that had never been undone in testing but create an entirely new flaw in the process, of course, that was all for later. Right now, she was just a highly intelligent problem solver using her skills.

Rosabell clearly wanted to go another round 'testing' her ability to catch these targets and Pandora didn't mind. Unknowingly? The raptor may be somewhat proud to show off what she could do, what she was born to do. When the redhead threw everything this time was clearly different requiring more processing on her part. Many paths lay ahead of the raptor, so many different ways she could accomplish the same thing. However, she was hardwired to always attempt to pick the best out of her options, so it made the paths narrow themselves significantly. Pandora could only see two efficient paths to reach her end target, which made planning easier. One plan was likely what the other was expecting to see and it would be 'impressive' it would be nowhere near as impressive as her alternate plan.

Pandora knew she could have caught them both at the same time than leaped up from rosa to catch the last one. However, her mind had come up with another plan, one she considered much more impressive. Swift jaws caught the second thrown piece first as she swung back slightly springing upwards and bucking her rear half sending the third thrown piece further into the air. Angling her body she caught the first piece on the way down, landing on Rosabell only to swiftly return to the ground and wait for the third piece to simply fall into her mouth. Both had been efficient, but her plan had given her more control then the first plan.

Rosabell's visage was one of pure awe and fascination as she watched Pandora do her magic, she had thought there was only one way to solve this puzzle-yet, Pandora proved her wrong and showed her a completely different route.Deciding to make her joy known she would speak up. "That was awesome Panda Paws! I would give ya' a big ol' celebratory hug, if I wasn't afraid of you tearing my face off! Although I'm sure you wouldn't mind a quick little pat on the head..." She would say slyly while slowly reaching forward in attempt to give the acrobatic reptile a quick little pat on the head.  

If she was anyone else, she probably would have been a tad bit jealous. She was the one supposed to be teaching, yet she was the one getting schooled, by a lizard of all things. Albeit an incredibly intelligent one, but a lizard nonetheless. Of course Rosabell wasn't really a jealous person, and instead felt something akin to pride. She came up with this little game of catch, and she was the one who was pushing Pandora's thinking limits. That's what she thought at least. Wanting to continue her little tests of knowledge, she would reach down into the bag, only to be shocked as she felt the nearly empty bottom. She could've sworn that she didn't eat that much on the way to the restaurant. And of course, her stomach just had to start grumbling at that very moment.

Looking over to Pandora she suddenly came up with an idea, an immoral idea, but an idea nonetheless. She was sure Pandora hadn't had her fill of food, or entertainment, and from how gleeful she seemed to be at the prospect of scaring her earlier, she was sure Pandora wouldn't mind this next idea.

Stuffing her hands into her pockets she would begin to walk in the direction of the restaurant she was originally heading towards, whilst beckoning for Pandora to follow. At the same time she would activate her Maw of Fenrir takeover, lengthening and changing her hair to a dark gray, and gaining more bestial traits, along with the whisker like tattoos. Looking over her shoulder, she would gaze at Pandora with piercing blue eyes, while letting out an icy breath, full fanged smile in view."Wanna go scare some people?"
