What, haven't you seen a ninja before?

For a moment Velvette was sure that the giant was going to give up the cat, the practice of keeping little bits of your impressive kills was a practice done by the Songa only. She also did her best to avoid eating the flesh of other predators. Unless they were fish. He seemed offended then, returning to his disdain for the name he had gleaned from Ramesh’s loose tongue.

He made an offer, share and their information wouldn’t go back to the Abraxas Empire. Well at least they were fairly matched in their knowledge of one another. She might have been able to forgive Ramesh at that point. However, Ve still did not trust this stranger farther than she could throw him. She didn’t like the sound of the empire either.

”We aren't so selfish to deny you after you’ve asked. You were an important participant in battle.” Ramesh took over, beginning his negotiation in divvying up the dead cat parts. She wanted the tail, but would accept a paw or ear. Or a fur for her home tree. Ve tried to continue to be a voice of reason for both sides. ”Your silence will be much appreciated.” Not that she wouldn't feel anxiety over the potential for this stranger to go back on his word. If he did keep their secret Ve might have considered giving him the whole cat, it might teach her brother a valuable lesson on keeping his big mouth shut.

They were supposed to be soundless after all.
