Orion supposed Mamba was telling the truth. "Yeah, yeah," he murmured more to himself than anything else. And if he really felt like things were getting bad, maybe they'd just drop out and slink away. Cowardly, but hadn't Mamba just said that was alright with her? They watched her go into the tree cover. Guess there's no turning back now. And Spotty was definitely not a name she'd let Mamba get away with. "Yeah, Green-eyes," Orion said in reply, hurrying a bit to catch up. But they didn't walk side-by-side with the black cat, but off a little behind her. No need to get up in the cat's space.

But why not ask a few questions? It's better than quiet. But only if Mamba wanted to. Orion didn't want to overstep and definitely didn't need to make bad relations with other cats. Besides, Mamba seemed pretty friendly. And maybe more open to talking than most other cats Orion's met. "Where do you come from?" she asked. A simple question, not too personal. And it was something Orion could easily answer back as well, if the black cat wanted to know as well. Orion wondered if they were being too planned out with how they were interacting with this other cat. Did it show? He hoped not.
