Aristocats

Almost too distracted by the stinging scratch on his nose, Noir barely heard Shaye correct him on his assumption that this was a mountain lion. They had gathered in some kind of strange group, and obviously had at least a little claw to back up their.. bark? The cats certainly were not barking, though he had to admit the sound he and his kind made was much more intimidating than some hissing. Maybe growls, he wasn’t quite sure what the puny rumbling was. His eyes widened slightly as he took in the sight of the wall of cats, as if to test out his thoughts Noir sneered at the little creatures and started barking ruthlessly. His hackles raised and he lowered his head menacingly.

Though the growling grew louder some of the cats closer to him looked a little nervous and hesitated to continue their march forward. Shaye suggested they start their retreat and Noir was forced to look back over to her pleadingly. ”Awe, Shaye.” The cats started to advance again and the boy returned to barking at them, this was almost more enjoyable than what he really wanted to do. Her turned his features again to his chaperone. ”We could take ‘em. It didn’t hurt that bad.” He played down the pain in his nose. Noir just wanted to get his teeth around one of their fluffy little necks.

The boy looked pleadingly at Shaye but she didn’t seem like she was going to budge. Dejectedly Noir followed her retreat, he didn’t hesitate to continue barking at them though. The least she could do what give him that. Baring his teeth the boy slowly backed up, and though the cats seemed to follow for a few more steps, the bulk of them stopped closer to the entrance of the ruins. The young warrior whined softly in protest once more as he used his big blue and lavender stare. He pouted only slightly and continued to back away.

The cats continued to his and spit, but they stopped and were now just making sure the wolf pair made their way out of their turf for good. There would be a few sentinels remaining here just to be safe, but they realized pretty quick they could back the wolves down. Noir didn’t much like the result of the encounter, he huffed heavily as the cats were quickly concealed from sight and they could return to Abaven without backing up. Though he wasn’t about to just forget how lame it was he couldn’t fight the cats he was interested enough to question Shaye. ”Where do you think they came from? Why were they so small?” The better question was the latter question but they were both valid.
