Why not? It made Orion pause. Well, they didn't because...huh. Why didn't they? He blinked in his spot, wonderous. Probably because stuff got too messy too often. Get into trouble, trespass onto territory, start a fight...too many cats involved and too much going on. Trouble sometimes was just not worth what happened as consequences. Orion shook his head as the black cat snickered. That's a reckless one. They wondered if the other cat was always this...silly? Or just happy-go-lucky, she guessed.

She noticed how often the black cat smirked at her. Were they trying to beguile her into getting into trouble? Orion's eyes narrowed in discreet suspicion. Was this really a good idea? How would he know? But would she ever truly know when she's getting tricked? What if they're wrong and they offend this cat? The chuckle drew them out of their trail of thought. Mamba was their fellow adventurer's name. It suited her. A snake for a glossy black cat. Orion ducked his head slightly out of tiny embarrassment. She guessed she had failed to provide a name as well. "Yeah, it is fair. Call me Orion," the dusted brown cat offered a flick of their tail as a more proper greeting. Not that it really mattered. Orion had already said hello. She kept herself from shaking her head at how all over the place she was.
