The girl tilts her head slightly, a bit puzzled by how flustered this woman appears. It's then that she realizes there's a some-hundred pound puma next to her. She gives Amadeus a side-ways look and he reverts back into the long-haired tabby. His amber eyes watch the woman curiously.

"She doesn't seem like a threat," he says quietly to the girl, while not speaking to Deidre at all. It would be awkward for him to speak to anyone else.

"No, not at all, I mean, I wouldn't stop you. I don't have the means to." The girl mentally curses the situation. What if this woman ran to the nearest settlement with stories of a girl and a hawk that turned into a cat that turned into a puma? That wouldn't be good for her. "Sorry if Amadeus gave you a start," she adds. "He's not supposed to take threatening forms; a mage cast a spell on him when he was a kitten so he could take other animal forms," she lies, "but I'll keep him as a cat now. He's really not a threat."

She tells Deidre this clearly and smoothly, even as she makes it up off the top of her head. She had to make it seem more mundane, less interesting. "My name's Miryam," she adds, lying again. It had been the first name that came to mind.

Amadeus looks up at her, swishing his tail. He doesn't like the strings of lies, but knows they're necessary.
