That's not who I am

Through the rest of his brief interaction with Kotori as the Fatalis man accepted him into Valta and exchanged pleasantries with him, Ciná smiled and nodded politely, agreeing to the spar that the alpha requested and promising to speak with him again once he was more settled. His thoughts weren't really focused there though. Instead, all he could think about was how Satira had pointed out how he had taken Ignis' ear and named the red brute by name. He kept combing back through their interactions, picking them apart and trying to remember if he had ever mentioned Ignis' name to her before–first or last. He knew for certain that he had been incredibly careful to avoid mentioning his last name in their very first meeting and he was almost certain that he had only referred to the attacker that had tried to take his tail as his father. While he couldn't be entirely sure of that given the drugs that Tira had given him, he was pretty sure and that meant that Tira somehow knew and that unsettled him.

Once Kotori walked away and they had begun to move further into the territory, he waited until he was certain the brown-furred male was out of ear shot before he let his smile drop with a concerned furrow of his brow and he stopped, using one paw to catch her shoulder and stop her. "How do you know it was Ignis?" he questioned uncertainly while still trying to figure out where he might have slipped up or what might have given it away. He had no reason to believe she knew Ignis or would have had any contact with him, but what if she did? It didn't seem like Ignis or whatever group he was with these days were welcome around here, but how could he know for sure? He bit his tongue before he could ask anything else, instead just waiting for her answer and internally kicking himself for whatever it was that had given it away.
