Augustus simply shrugged at her vague response. She didn't say she disrespected him, was what crossed his jumbled mind. He was having difficulty reading the she-cat before him, but judging by the fact that her claws were no longer unsheathed she had loosened up. He grinned brightly at this, satisfied he had succeeded in loosening up such a put-together warrior. ``Mm,`` He mewed smoothly. ``Glad to hear that.``

``Now that we're at calm rivers, there's no reason for us to be so... uncivil towards one another.`` His tone was light, an ounce of teasing within it. However, his words were usually always teasing even when he was being serious. Augustus' cocky smirk transformed into a small smile, something that looked so... unusual, on the overconfident tomcat. ``Jinx, my friend, answer me this single question.``

He preformed a deep, dramatic silence that added effect to his previous statement. Then, with a quiet inhale, Augustus enforced his comment. ``What's your favorite prey? Personally, I favor the common squirrel.``

[ I made mine short too cx ]

Jinx listened to the tom-cat, however his overly confident personality irked her. How could she ever grow to like him since he was already calling her a friend? What a strange word to her. Jinx didn't make friends, she made allies. Friends were later to be weaknesses and she didn't have time for those. As the ebony feline continued to listen, she decided that she wouldn't bring up the whole friend thing and just allow him do call her what he pleased, it made no difference to her anyway.
Although now the pause to lick his paw made her roll her yellow hues as she waited for the question. With a small huff, she glanced around at their surroundings. Everything looked the same everywhere. She was so used to Shadowclan's territory that she thought she'd never be able to learn her way around this territory. However she knew she simply needed to learn the scents and know landmarks and she'll be fine. There weren't many rules here and that's how she'd like to keep it. She wasn't going to let another "mentor" tell her what to do. Augustus more so than any other at this point.
Finally the question was spoken and Jinx flicked her tail. Why was that so important for him to know? What was the point of that? Oh well. She decided to go ahead and play along. Mouse or frog, one of the two. It seems like you don't have many frogs around here though so mouse will do," she replied nonchalantly. She knew very well that only Shadowclan ate frogs, however she wasn't sure what Dusk Syndicate cats thought about the amphibians.
