Trying to not cause a scene in the streets: Karlach Cliffgate

Karlach and I are leaving a tavern at sundown and spot a kitty in the streets. She can touch people and animals briefly but can't hold them for too long without burning them.

Trying to not cause a scene in the streets: Karlach Cliffgate

Karlach and I are leaving a tavern at sundown and spot a kitty in the streets. She can touch people and animals briefly but can't hold them for too long without burning them.

Today wasn't a productive day in the slightest, but it was incredibly fun. Karlach had been dragging me from tavern to tavern in Baldur's Gate. She's wasted little time managing to down what should be a lethal amount of booze. The added confidence of the alcohol also made Karlach a bit too friendly. Trying to make small talk with people who were clearly trying to avoid her and others who were visibly annoyed that a tiefling was allowed in the tavern to begin with.

Karlach had stopped keeping track of the time nor drinks a long time ago, alcohol poisoning apparently not being a concept in her mind. Though I seemed to be a bit more conscious about my alcohol consumption, able to drag Karlach out of the tavern before she started a fight.

The cool outside air felt like a smack in the face for both Karlach and I which should be a good thing. Sobering up before walking down the street wasn't a half-bad idea. However something seemed to have caught Karlach's attention the moment we stepped out. Turning her head to the faintest 'meow' a few feet away.

Almost immediately after spotting the small group of cats, Karlach grabbed my hand and dragged me to the side of the street. She was clearly scaring the animals but Karlach was too intoxicated to notice. Unintentionally cornering the cats and smothering them in pets, a method Karlach sometimes uses on me. Her voice was high pitched and wavering.
