Today started off fairly well. Rollo was enjoying his strawberry when a crowd of people gathered around two random men with their fists up. A little entertainment it seemed. Rollo was curious about their actions. The small gap in between was generous as he saw the two men fight in the street.
The two were throwing their fists around and aiming to knock the other out or at least injure them. At times it connect, and others it was blocked. Rollo watched and started to learn. Surely the tactic of defense would be useful if he had to leave. The fight wouldn't last long as the Brass Blade was sent to break the fight up before it got out of hand. The crowd dispersed and left Rollo without a winner of the fight.
As he turned to finish his strawberry, he noticed it was gone! Looking around, Rollo spotted another cat like him only with a brown coat and stripes making off with his berry goodness. Rollo gave chase after the thief, running all around Ul'dah. Passing by people and the stalls. The chase continued well until they reached a dead end. In a desperation attempt, the thief quickly ate Rollo's strawberry. This angered the black kitten as he swiped the air as a way of challenging him to a fight.
The Thief hissed and growled as the two slowly made their way close to one another. Rollo wasn't trained in combat but if there was one thing he could do, it was attempt. The thief had way more experience being in Ul'dah and waited for Rollo to make the first strike...
Rollo then lunged forward and came with a swiping claw. the other cat dodged to the left as predicted but didn't count of Rollo to swipe with his other. The first strike was a feint and he nicked the Thief's cheek. This prompt him to slash furiously at Rollo. Rollo backed up and gained some distance. But soon the Thief dashed around and bit Rollo's tail down hard. Causing the cat to howl in pain.Â
Rollo was now more than angry. He was furious! Rollo thought about the fight he saw earlier, remembering a move that one of the men did. The Thief charged forth with claws extended and at the last moment, Rollo ducked. The Thief clearing over him...and then Rollo extended his head upward into his rib, knocking the Thief out and on the ground. Rollo placed a paw on his neck and was about to kill him...but something inside told Rollo to not do it.
Rollo gave a very angry growl as a means of talking...I think it was along the lines of...

Rollo asked "Why did you take my meal?"
The thief replied "...I...needed food for...my friend..."
"Then get your own!" Rollo yelled.
The Thief shook his head. "The Hyur...they caught onto me...and they will catch onto you as well..."

Rollo hissed and removed his paw. meowing to not want to see the Thief again as he made his way back to the box. In the time that Rollo left, someone left a discarded flyer on the side for the Gold Saucer. He of course didn't care much but decided to bring it into his box to use as another blanket for the ensuing night...
But what if the thief was also concerned for Rollo?
