Kitanya was *not* happy, and this time, she couldn't control the slashing
of her tail that started whacking Brell in the leg repeatedly. She didn't
bother to stop it. "Everrrybody out," she said in a low, dangerous tone.
"I want to talk to this man alone."

"I don't like to rrrepeat myself, Commanderrr," she growled at Brell. "You
can have yourrr time with him when I am done. Now, get out." Her fangs
were showing more than usual by then.

She walked over to him and motioned questioningly if there were any bugs in
that place.
