On Probation

Octave's own fear was mostly the same old nervousness he felt when suddenly faced with a total stranger, though the strangeness of the big cat was adding a whole new dimension to the situation. Not that it made his behavior any different, he was frozen, eyes wide and unfaltering from the cat's massive frame. On the other hand, while Noko had never been face to face with a lion she was filled with an instinctual fear of most predators, especially ones this gigantic. Something about the lionesses' face reminded her of the horrible little creature she and her family had been forced to hide from back in her homeland.

The Lemur eyed the big cat with open wariness, her cupped ears twitching when the cat gave them a name and a weak reassurance. "That's reassuring." Noko said sarcastically but allowed herself to relax somewhat, gently brushing her hand through the short fur along Octave's head as she felt his limbs begin to shake. She wasn't totally comfortable with Cannival but she'd also pretty easily realized that somehow the cat was allowed around here and she'd yet to have a reason to doubt Shaye's judgment... though maybe this was that reason.

"I'm Noko and this guy's Octave." The Lemur said gently patting Octave's head. "He's uh- like this with everyone else, don't take it personally."
