If she was taught anything, it was to keep your enemies close, so despite her lack of appetite, the ebony she-cat leaned down and took a bite from the scrawny mouse. She chewed through the stringy meat before swallowing, sitting up straight and pushing the remains towards Augustus.
"You caught it, I was only being somewhat polite," she replied, playing along with his games. She didn't quite understand him or why he was so cocky in the first place. Jinx especially didn't understand his pet names, she'd play along, although she wouldn't call him anything other than his name. She wasn't trying to be that friendly.
Assuming Augustus took the other part of the mouse, Jinx had began to wash her whiskers. Drawing her rough tongue over each side side of her mouth and insuring no scraps were messing with her sense of touch. Her yellow hues were glancing around the forest once more. Now what? she couldn't help but ponder to herself. Everything she had just studied looked unfamiliar all over again. |
Augustus was practically bouncing on his paws. She was so fiery and she even participated in his games. I like her already! He stared at her with wide eyes of awe, his mouth gaping slightly. ``What a she-cat!`` He cheered dreamily, his rat-like tail lashing with excitement. ``Tell me, darling, are you always so sharp-tongued? So... fun?`` His voice was smooth and deep, laced with a hint of amusement.
Lowering himself to a crouch, Augustus scooped himself a bite from the pathetic mouse, his jaws moving with every effort-filled chew. Meanwhile, his chin was tilted back just a bit as he gazed up at her, his eyes now narrowed supported with a cocky smirk in a charming look. ``Because I just love it,`` Augustus commented, bending his head once more to offer himself a bite of the gaunt rodent. ``And I can see us becoming good friends,`` He chuckled, rocking back on his haunches. His tail curled at his side, covering his hind paw. He towered over Jinx with his great height, and he smiled slightly at this fact. His bony shoulders were squared, and his head was held high. He offered the partly-eaten mouse a harsh tap, and his rounded ears twitched at the limp body's pounding as it rolled across the ground until it settled in a patch of dying leaves and dirty snow.
His eyes gleamed with one of his two usual emotions - amusement, while his smirk expressed his other emotion - cockiness. ``Now, I suppose you are in dire need of a guide?``
