He eyed the dame with a way expression, not sure how to judge this flame of a woman. He knew that she was teasing his boundaries, just as she had done before. He closed the gap between them -- mostly. There was still about a foot or two between them as he came to rest on his rump, his tail curling about his paws. "Always a pleasure, Cataleya." He said, her name easily falling from his lips. He would not easily forget this regal Queen, as she made it known to him in her next statement. Ah, so he had been right. His brow remained risen as he eyed her closely, grinning slightly. "And who's domain have you taken, Queen Cataleya?" He said, ears somewhat falling back. Maybe if he played her little game she would make a strong ally. Not like he was one for games. He was quite confused when it came to this silvery woman, he didn't know how to tip toe around her to avoid that dark cloud that loomed above her. He was too pure a soul to see just how deep her darkness went, he had no idea what she was capable of. "And you have come only for talk of politics? I thought chat like that bothered you." Bass teased, even a jester in times like these.
