The Isles of St. Gwendolyn

[Bound cat]

"I'm sorry miss, but it's the rules. Unless you have proof that the other person is willingly in your care like this, you are not allowed to lead her around on a leash." Ondine said to Courtney before her timid expression faltered for a moment into anger. "Though I'm sure if you want to continue throwing insults, Ursula would be more then happy to switch with me."

Ursula meanwhile placed a hand on Katerina's shoulder and gave a laugh. 

"Of course. Though that is a strange statement to make."  Ursula stated as she studied Katerina.

Stephanie took Alex's hand as she pulled him to the side.
"Someone wasn't paying attention to the video~" She teased before turning away from him. "We're going to the gandula systems to get to the other island silly."
She pulled him along, some could confuse her excitement for pushyness as she pulled just a little more enthusiastically. "Ursula might take awhile if she has to step in for Ondine."

Masha impatiently defiantly pretended to look at her wristwatch, which she didn't really have.
- "Can't you be a little faster?" - she said, addressing Courtney and Ondine at once — "Some of us want to get to the spa today".

Alex blushed because the girl called him stupid. He was so excited by the sight of this beauty that he almost forgot about his original goal, but now her remark brought him back from heaven to earth.
"Ugh... yeah... I remember about it..." - he mumbled - "We just left the rest of the group... So I thought...."
The guy quickened his pace to keep up with his guide. With his chubby build, it was difficult for him to maintain the pace set by a slender girl, but he was embarrassed to ask her to slow down, fearing that she would consider him a weakling.
-----
Katerina politely but insistently removed Ursula's hand from her shoulder. It wasn't that the touch was unpleasant  (rather, on the contrary), it was just that the girl couldn't afford to be distracted from the case.
- "Strange? No.  I... Um.... I was just joking," - she said with a smile, - "I would love to see everything you want to show me."
