Not surprising considering how dull the creatures were. Still, that he would have to look to an entirely different species to find a creature that could see his true worth was a terrible thing.
The mountan lion's leap over the stream was unexpected. He tensed, half expecting the cat to unsheath her claws and attack him. But what she did next made him almost choke in shock. Sleek body curled around his, tail wrapping around his throat. A deep purr vibrating against his back.

He had to clear his throat a couple times to manage to speak, but when he did it was without so much as a quaver.
