Delta closed its claws around the seafoam green gem at its paws, momentarily absorbed by the shimmer of rose gold. Its ears swiveled, listening for signs of danger, but it did not hear anything particularly threatening. Yet, anyway.

The darkness lifted, and the cat-alien's eyes shut with a wince at the bright blue glow. It hissed under its breath, opening its eyes after a moment to look at the find in new light. It was... Shiny.

Garnet-Delta had never had anything... Shiny. It had never been materialistic. This was not a particularly special find, all things considered. But perhaps it would have its uses, one day. It nipped the golden chain, picking up the jewelry, and turned its head to sweep the area.

Suddenly, it felt incredibly exposed. It's skin crawled as it tried to summon its magic, but that only made its fur itch terribly. No, no, this was bad. There were too many strangers. Spreading its wings, it quickly scrambled across the ground with its trophy, and took flight, sweeping toward the massive kaiju before anything tried to attack it.

Alpha had approached some strange, six-limbed thing (this one seemed much more delicate, a deer-flesh-purple thing. Maybe they had some kinship, being six-limbed, although that was the only trait they had in common. Delta landed with scrambling claws on top of Alpha's head, scurrying down into the protective quill bed like a frightened clown fish in tucking into sea anemones for safety.

"Are there normally this many... creatures, near Polaris?" It hissed, mostly to itself more than anything. It's next question was clearly for Alpha, however, "Who's this?" Bright red eyes peeked over the top of Alpha's skull down at the tiny, dainty centaur-thing it had found.
