Chapter 3: First Impressions
#3 of The Tales of Fibuli
Talzin was not having a good day thus far. He was in Knanan to get supplies in order to continue his hermit lifestyle. He usually tried to avoid going to Knanan as much as possible for a few reasons. His isolation being one of them and his ability to sense negative emotions.
His negative emotions sensing is one of the abilities that he chalked up as one of his species abilities like his transformation ability. This time the normal miasma of negative emotions of the city was somewhat muted. People are in high spirits due to the harvest festival that is going on. Of course, I would not partake in it.
He came across the restaurant The Salty Panther and was about to go in it when he felt a sharp stab of negative emotions. Immediately afterwards, a grenade like object rolled out of the curtain and landed on his feet. Talzin had no time to move when it exploded on him. His ears ring due to being near the epicenter of the explosion. Other than the ears, he felt physically fine but his delicate nose clued him in what kind of grenade it was. He then rushed into an alleyway to find a can to get sick in.
Due to his retching, Talzin's disguise has slipped into his natural vulpine form. His hooded cloak the only thing that is preventing the world from seeing his true form. A grey furred vulpine with three large fluffy tails. Any hopes of not being discovered dashed when he felt a paw on his shoulder.
"Are you ok?" the Trianii woman asked.
No, I'm not ok. My innards are trying to escape through my mouth and my disguise is broken. Oh Karabast! She is a Trianii ranger! Talzin only shook his head.
After a short explanation on what occurred, the Trianii ordered him to strip off his putrid covered clothes. Great I got a pervert of a ranger. Normally Talzin would tease and try to embarrass the Trianii. Unfortunately, he is to nauseated to say anything. She is huge! And she is cute. He decided to striptease the poor Trianii instead.
Tsu'mara has been with many males before. She has never seen a vulpine like Talzin before. She has seen Amarans before but they are usually half of Talzin's height and they only have one tail. Observing the specimen before her, she struck the credit horde. He is very handsome, she thought. She noticed that Tazin was still armed. Two curved swords are strapped to his left hip.
"You have to surrender these weapons to me," Tsu'mara demanded.
Talzin sighed and reluctantly gave up his weapons. He chuckled inwardly at Tsu'mara's shocked expression on the number of weapons on him. In total he is carrying his Katana, Wakizashi, a blaster pistol on his right hip, a broken-down Homesteader rifle in his bag, and finally a Tanto strapped to his right boot. After surrendering his weapons to the Trianii. He finished striping all of the gross clothing off of him making him nude.
Tsu'mara puts the weapons in her rucksack and pulls out a towel. She soaks the towel in the nearby rain collection barrel. "Here take this," Tsu'mara threw the wet towel striking the vulpine in the face. "I will keep watch while you clean yourself."
"Hey you do not have to throw that urk..." Talzin was interrupted courtesy of a bar of soap hitting him in the abdomen.
"Get to it. I do not have all day," the large Trianii commanded.
Talzin, in the nude, cleans himself off using the wet towel. Fortunately, his undergarments are still in good condition and was able to salvage them. A particular scent assaulted his nose. So, she is getting a little horny. Interesting.
Tsu'mara had to watch Talzin strip. She knows that he is stripteasing her. Seeing a naked vulpine in all of his glory caused her loins to stir. His sheath and large jogan fruit sized balls are on full display to her. Perverted thoughts intrude on her due to Talzin's strip tease. When this occurs, she tries several breathing exercises to calm and still her mind. It partially worked, she no longer feel the urge to ravage him but the sexual desire was still there.
Talzin smirked in satisfaction for teasing her. His smile became even wider when he saw the state of Tsu'mara's loins. He wasted no time bathing for he is out in the open in an alleyway. In his undergarments he said, "I'm done but I have no clothes."
"Here take some of mine from the duffel bag. They may be quite big on you," Tsu'mara said.
"Don't worry. I will make them fit," Talzin replied. He then turns into his go to male Trianii form. The only difference is that he kept his grey fur. "I'm done."
She was stunned when she saw the vulpine changing his appearance. The amber furred Trianii inspected the now grey furred Trianii.
"What? How?" she asked.
"Does it matter know? I thought you were going to detain me?"
"Well depends on your answer. Did you attempt to vandalize The Salty Panther?" Tsu'mara interrogated. She keeps the truncheon on hand.
"No. It is my favorite restaurant in this city. Why would I try to vandalize something I love?"
"It was very suspicious that you were right outside the establishment when the grenade gone off," Tsu'mara said.
Talzin sighed again. He realized that he was being set up for a crime he did not commit. He weighed his options. He can escape the large Trianii, which is easy for him to do. However, she saw his true form and can put on a bulletin forcing him to leave the system. The second and only option left is to help her find the culprit so he can clear his name.
"I know it looks bad but you have to believe me when I say that I was just going to enter the restaurant when it went off. There is a security cam on the front of the building if you like to see," Talzin stated. He even put his wrists out for Tsu'mara to cuff him. To which she did put some binders on him.
Both of them went back out to the streets. The duo then entered the Salty Panther establishment. The establishment is now empty. Only the black furred Trianii is on the counter.
"Hello welcome to the- Oh it is you again!" Suraque greeted.
"I came back for a few things. Is it possible to view your cam feed from outside? I have a potential suspect and I want to see if there is any evidence to back his claim," Tsu'mara inquired.
"Sure. I will take you both to the back. This way," Suraque opens the counter and gestured to the back room.
It did not take long for Tsu'mara found Talzin not guilty. In fact, she owed him an apology. The cam revealed that a Trianii child with a soda cannon fired it at the general direction of the store. The "grenade" impacted outside and rolled into the establishment. She copied the video file and sent it to her commanding officer.
She got a text response, "Will look into this. This is not the first time this establishment has been targeted by harassment as of late."
"I guess I'm free to go?" Talzin asked.
Tsu'mara unbound Talzin and gave his weapons back to him. "I'm sorry for this inconvenience is there any way to amend for my error?"
Talzin's stomach rumbled, "How about some food first?"
