Deciding to follow, Bast remained quite a distance behind them, her yellow gaze also taking in the lovely and tasteful decor of the palace, smiling as a few of the cats that surrounded her wandered off. Most likely in search of food, but soon the ones that left were then replaced with decorated cats, obviously the cats most favored by the royal family. Hearing a yowl, the neko goddess looked up sharply, hissing softly as she noticed the cat she'd been following skittering away, the mortal male scowling and setting his foot down, as if he'd just kicked the lovely feline.
Yellow eyes flashing dangerously, her first instinct was to go over and hit the vile man, but knew it wouldn't get the point across. Exhaling and let her anger go at the same time, she turned back to the market, picking up a tiny little kitten that was getting tired.
Akila looked down in surprise when she felt her ankle being batted, smiling softly at the ball of fur. Kneeling down, she gently picked up the cat, one hand cradling the back paws as she rested his body against her chest while her free hand petted him and scratched behind his ears. "Hello pretty. How are you?" She asked softly, shooing away the guards and the servants before finding a place to sit, on the steps that led into the water, settling Zahur on her lap. Letting him get comfortable first since she'd moved, she returned to petting him, gently massaging the area down his spine. Repeating the pattern; ears, neck, down the spine, then back, she hummed softly. Reveling in the distraction from the horrid vision.
