Nora the Tiger's page

As Ilenna breaks off to grab the letter from the large blonde man, Nora stalks the back of room. The orange and black of her fur is rippling above her massive shoulders, and her head hangs low. As the tiger moves through the room, she looks at each of the members of the assembled group one at a time. Her eyes seemingly linger on the coughing man in the back. She turns around and moves towards the entrance of the room, still prowling the back watching the newcomers. Finding a spot near the door, she circles it a few times. Then the large tiger lies down on the floor in a place she can both see Ilenna and watch the room.

Nora purrs at Sidi's ear rubs, but lets out a light growl at Ilenna's remark. After finishing her bone, she moves over to El. Jumping up on her hind legs, she puts her paws on his shoulders and licks him right across the face with her huge tongue. She then lets go and heads back to another bone and Sidi.

A large orange and black striped tiger has gotten up from where it was lying on the porch. It raises its hind end into the air and pushes its front feet and body downwards to stretch out after hearing Ilenna. Ilenna throws a bone about 8 ft in the air, and the tigers back legs don't even leave the ground when she catches it. Her powerful jaws snap the bone into little pieces, as she walks over to greet her friend.

From its shoulder the tiger stands only about a foot lower than Ilenna. She nuzzles her furry head into the druid's hand.

As the door swings open a loud and possibly hungry roar comes into the bar from outside on the porch.
