Part of Kyra's personality included her tendency to annoy people when she was bored. And right now, Kyra was stuck in a meeting. Henceforth, She was very bored. Bored enough to start throwing things. Specifically at Allan who had the power to stop the meeting. She threw jellybeans at him. Kyra at first threw one about once a minute. Then she threw two. Then seven. Then twelve. Then a handful consisting of thirty-seven jellybeans. All licorice flavor. They were a shared dislike of Kyra and Allan's along with dwarves, McCallister, and Kyra's tendencies during meetings.
The thirty-seven jellybeans all hit Allan which meant Kyra received another light kick under the table. This was not the first tactic Kyra had tried during the meeting. She had kicked her chair and Allan, sharpened a knife quite loudly, stuck the knife in the wall behind her, and fallen asleep. Allan's only response was a light kick which was becoming very painful. Somehow, Allan had kicked the exact same spot every time and Kyra was certain there would be a bruise there by the time the meeting was over.
Sparrow, the leader of the Tonga tribe, continued reading quicker now.
The door opened. Softball trotted over to Allan and pawed his pant leg. She then tried to jump into his lap. Allan returned the kitten to the floor. Softball tried Kyra who let the kitten get up into her lap. In fact, Kyra started petting the kitten in such a way that Softball started purring. Loudly.
"Can I draw on the blackboard?" Kyra whispered to Allan.
"No." Allan whispered back.
"Can I draw on the blackboard?" Kyra repeated.
"No." Allan said again. "Please don't ask again." Kyra frowned.
"May I pretty please draw on the blackboard?" Kyra tried to make herself look like she had only innocent intentions, which of course she didn't.
"Fine." Allan said. Kyra slipped out of her seat and carried Softball over to the blackboard.
Kyra stared at the board trying to decide whether to fulfill her plan or to draw bored faces all over the blackboard. She went with fulfilling her plan. So she set Softball on the blackboard on the board and left the room.
Softball wanted to get down of course. But she didn't know how. So she dug her claws into the blackboard and ended up sliding down it, her claws leaving long scratches behind.
Elves have very sensitive hearing so all of them were soon huddled under the table, hands over their ears. All that is except for Allan. Being half human may have had something to do with it, but whatever the reason, he just in his seat, head in his hands.
Softball dropped to the floor with a thump.
Once the catastrophe was over, Allan retrieved the cat and opened the door. Sure enough, Kyra was right outside the door trying, and failing, to look innocent.
"Would you care to explain?" He asked while handing Kyra the freaked out kitten. "And you're telling Tiyana why her cat is freaked out." Kyra only grinned and ran off to find Alicia. Allan returned to the meeting house.
Once the meeting was over, Allan decided to take a long walk. Normally, Tiyana would've accompanied him, but she was who knows where trying to save the forest with her cousin and a human boy from a town that was probably very small. Allan sighed and sat down on a fallen tree. He missed Tiyana. There was no doubt about it. Besides, her animals were out of control, as was Akaia's monkey Jeff but that's a different story, and Tiyana was the only one who knew what they would need.
Allan sat on the fallen tree until a messenger came across him and handed him a note. Allan read the note and made a quick decision based off of a time stamp in the corner. His only regret was that Kyra wouldn't be happy when he got back.
