Alice hugged herself, shivering slightly despite her feline heritage. Her voice carried a sharp, impatient edge as she glared at Adam.
"Can we hurry up? I'm freezing out here."
Adam shot her a flat, disbelieving look, his crimson eyes narrowing with dry amusement.
"Aren't you a cat? You're supposed to have fur. Are those ears and tail just for decoration?"

Adam's voice carried a dry, pointed edge as he gestured at her outfit.
"Blame yourself for wearing such a short skirt."
Alice's eyes narrowed, her voice dropping into a low, defensive tone.
"I like this outfit. Don't you like seeing me in a skirt like this?"
Azrynn stepped between them, her voice calm but carrying a note of quiet urgency.
"We don't have time for this. Let's focus on finding the stash."
