Thanks a million, Lexia!! That's such a great compliment! And I find guys in general difficult... although less so on Arabian Nights. :)

Ah I'm hooked, your writing really grabs the reader and gets them embroiled in the tension!. I also really like Prince Rouran hair, I find it's hard to do guys hair on most makers, but it looks really natural!

Mulan nearly forgot her "how to act like a lady" training and shrugged. So she attempted to keep her temper in check when responding, "It's broad daylight, and I was with other armed members of my party. I didn't see the need." Grimness crept into her voice. "Rest assured, I won't be parted from it for a single moment from now on." "Good," Prince Rouran said, the word almost an apology. "Please keep Lady Yu Lien with you, as well. She's unarmed, and I dislike the idea of her being alone."

"Where is Li Shang? I thought he was supposed to be guarding you, keeping you safe?" snapped Rouran, truly angry now that the confrontation was over and he could breathe again. "I... think you'd better ask him that," Mulan demurred, "yet I can't imagine the general leaving his duty undone. Something strange must have happened." "And you, your Highness, why didn't you have your sword with you?" The Mongol Prince's tone lowered, but he was still frustrated from pent up worry; that was close.

By this time, the orange striped tiger was standing abreast of him, not precisely beside, but definitely in line with the prince, forming a barrier between the Siberian snow cat and Mulan. The bigger, paler beast wavered, as though considering. Behind them all, Yu Lien dashed to Mulan's side, carrying the Jade Lotus sword. That broke the moment of inactivity. Like evaporating mist, the white tiger faded and disappeared into the nothingness from whence it came. But Mulan had met her enemy.

(cont.) Rouran took all this in at a glance, dropped his weapon to guard, and began yelling at the white tiger. "Go home. You have no business here. I was sent on this mission by the will of the Khan, whom even you dare not defy! Besides, you're stretched to the limits of your range as it is. Have you noticed your cat leaves no puffs of dust when it walks? Ours does. Which one do you think will win, if you force a battle? Go home. Don't exhaust yourself to death just to make a point."
