Ferrous was in the middle of a frenzied, squirrel-hunting sweep of the treetops when a deep grownup voice snatched her attention out of the foliage. Her head whipped around so fast she saw stars, but she had to know who she was dealing with - and fast. Grownups could be scary. Kids, not so much. She was convinced she could take on anyone her size, but all grownups were bigger than her and that made her uneasy.
The man cautioned her about making so much noise and then turned on his heel to walk away. Ferrous would have been content to simply let him go without replying to his comment, but for whatever reason he decided not to go, choosing instead to engage her further.
Rats.
What was it about her, she wondered, that made grownups do a double take? She didn't know what it was about her that screamed 'unsupervised' but whatever it was, she needed to find out. That way she could turn it on and off whenever it was useful and convenient. Right now it wasn't all that convenient, but she was okay with improvising. She gave him her best puzzled look, hoping to convey confusion over his assertion that she wasn't where she belonged, and then said brightly, "I can explore if I want. Just not toooo far." There. That kinda sorta answered his questions without mentioning densites or parents. Hopefully that would be enough to convince him.

Ferrous has a saber-toothed snow leopard companion named Zahir. If she isn't
mentioned IC it's safe to assume she isn't there.
