Now, pretty girls always belonged to Barracuda. Whether they were 'starlet' cats, as he thought of them - the pretty show cats that hung around successful toms, and were generally used for breeding. Barracuda had always thought he would end up mates with one of them. But no, here he was, a previously sucessful show cat, living as a loner. Or... at least, a half loner. He was still a show cat, or getting back into it, and he had forgotten how much fun it could be. The diamond studded collar he had stolen from Iris was around his neck, giving him an even more distinguished look as he padded through the territory. But his eyes were still on Nyx. Now, Barracuda would find a pretty feline - obsess over them for a while, if they were lucky he would bless them with his presence - but he wouldn't settle down with them. He just wasn't the 'settling down' type. "You hunt well for such a pretty girl. And here I was, all ready to offer to catch some prey for you - my goodness, what a fool I could have made of myself." Barracuda shook his head, tilting it down towards the ground and looking up at her in a charming manner. A small half smile, half smirk appeared on his maw as he spoke again. "The name's Barracuda, darling. And may I ask what a beautiful angel like yourself might be called?" Chances were, he wouldn't use Nyx's real name very much. He tended to call she cats 'love' - 'darling' - 'angel' - 'beautiful' - or any other compliment that might attract an either foolish, or not so foolish feline.

Nyx's head snapped up when she heard Barracuda and listened to his words. Smirking, she stepped away from her prey and licked her maw. The black she cat looked at Barracuda, trying to size him up. He was definitely an attractive cat, that was obvious, and he seemed very confident in his ability to snatch her up like a sleeping mouse. Who was he? "Why thank you, although you would have looked slightly like a fool. My name's Nyx, it's a pleasure to meet you Barracuda." Nyx decided that she liked this cat, he seemed very fun and flirty. Like her. She was glad that she was able to make friends besides Nova and Crane, especially because they were almost nothing like her. 'What brings you into the woods, pretty boy?"
