overgrown wolf meet overgrown house cat

Rhyme watched silently from the trees father beyond as the tiger seemed to pace the border. He’d watched the great beast rub its cheek against one of the trees. Rhyme knew little about tiger biology or behavior, and he wondered if the cat was trying to mark his claim? He didn’t know, but it was careful to keep on the loner’s land beyond. He watched it for a while as it strode lazily under the morning sun. His ears perked when he heard Shaye not so far away. She must have just gotten up and was on her first patrol. Likely finding where the cat had originally walked up to the border.

He followed slowly behind the cat as it retraced its steps and returned to where Shaye stood at the border, waiting for him and for their warriors. Solitude was on his back, he had the bird find a ray of sunlight to try and catch Shaye’s eye silently to let her know where he was. Rhyme heard the tiger speak, politely much like Cannival.

Benedict and Odysseus appeared behind her and Rhyme smiled at the fact the former was so quick to act. Even against a tiger he would appear at the border ready to defend his new home. Ody explained their adverse reaction and the slate alpha would finally reveal his presence. He walked cautiously out into the open, coming up behind the cat but making enough noise he wouldn’t surprise it. Solitude flapped his wings nervously as Rhyme came to a stop, observing their uninvited guest quietly.
