He didn't seem to go for her wordplay. He just went on to drone about his view of reality, presenting it as fact that was boring enough to warrant a yawn. Luckily, Silverback was in a good mood. She'd been most intrigued with her little fishing trip, and she wasn't about to just leave. "Well aren't you a bucket of fun," she muttered as her eyes slipped back to the water level. Maybe if she hooked her paw at the last second...?

But the male was still talking, and this time he caught her attention. Or rather her vanity. He moved on to her favorite subject - herself. And managed to even compliment her amid his observations. He called her pretty and independant. Two understatements of the year, but they'd do nicely for now. He also mentioned that he didn't fear her, but at least he'd recognized that as a viable option. So far so good, at least Silverback might have herself a conversation of sorts.

"I am Oddity," the male told her.

"Yes, you are." The cat's eyes roamed up and down his form once again. "My name is Silverback, and I, for your education, am a Snow Leopard. A rare enough sight to ever see, but particularly here in this southern land." She gestured about them with a swing of her tail. Truth was, she'd gone slightly farther south already, but that had been purely scent searching - this was her actually spending time and doing things - and hunting! Well, if you could call it that. The wolf at least was being nice enough to stay still and not startle the fish. A long, silver and pinkish one came wriggling by and Silverback made another explosive dart at it.

Aaaaand missed again. She was a cat, but her mainstays were rabbit and mountain sheep, not fish. She had no instinctual knowledge about the way water reflects light - and how though she might see the fish in one place, in reality it was really off to the side. She could bat at the water quick as a snake, all day and not have much luck.
