Cinnamon held her laughter in and hid her faint smile. She was resistant of letting Chief see any sign that she liked him. She had to admit, the joke was quite funny. Chief had continued to walk on, and hearing his comment, she went ahead of him. She trekked on, the ground crunching with every pawstep she took. The shadowy, slender trees seemed to be blowing in the wind, creating an ominous sound. They were getting close to the sound, Cinnamon could feel it. Before them was nothing but darkness. She really had no plan on what she was going to do when she faced the creature, but wasn’t aware of it. Maybe it was because she had a burning passion for action. She didn’t know about Chief, but he must have it too. Craning back her head, she looked at the tom with her green eyes which were glowing brighter as they went.
”So what do you think’s there? Still a mouse?” she quizzed Chief.
Yes, she was teasing him, but she truly wanted to know what he thought it was. After all, Cinnamon had no idea what other creatures lurked in the woods. When you’re a housecat, you only see things from a distance. You can never emerge yourself in the life of the wild. She knew prey, but what about predators? They usually didn’t come near her twoleg’s nest thanks to the smell, but she’d never see any of them. Once she had seen coyotes, howling loudly, but it wasn’t the same howl as this. This was louder, deeper.

Chief watched as she walked past him, taking a moment to study her. Definitely a housecat build - the years of ruggedness that clung to his pelt was no where to be found within hers. Nice groomed fur. She may have had to escape her burned-to-the-ground human's nest, but that didn't automatically erase the life of leisure that was still surrounding her. But the tom had to admit she had a quick wit for a cat who had spent a majority of their life cooped up inside. Plus, she seemed about as adventurous as he was, and that was definitely a quality he liked. Perhaps this one would be more than just entertainment.

"Perhaps a rabid pack of dogs. Or maybe even wolves." He honestly couldn't care less what it could be as long as it provided a challenge for him. It had been quite some time since he got to practice his well rehearsed battle moves. "Or maybe a hungry badger and its cub. That would make for a nice meal..." Absentmindedly swiping his tongue over his lips, Chief peered past Cinnamon into the darker forest. He still couldn't make out what it could be, and he halted his paws as he came to stand at his companions side. "So what exactly do you plan to do once we find the source? I for one don't plan on doing any babysitting, so I'm hoping you can handle your own."

Ruby was right, the noise could have been from anywhere and since almost none of the other cats seemed to hear it, Cosmo and Ruby would be on their own. "I say we check by the lake first, I don't think it came from the buildings, it would have been muffled somewhat." Cosmo gestured to the forest near the lake, it would be a good place to scout out for any predators that might be around.
(Are you planning on introducing Chief in this rp?)

She had to agree with Cosmo; if the noise had come from anywhere, it was more likely from the abyss of the forest that surrounded the lake. It wasn't that she didn't want to venture out there, but she was concerned about coming across the wild cats. "Well, as long as don't slip into the lake, I'm all for it," she joked lightly, tossing a smile in his direction before starting to head down towards the lake, snaking out around the corner of the building they had been in. "Let's hope it's something small. With it just being us, I don't know if we could take on anything bigger than perhaps another stray like us. You think you could take them on?"

[probably not during this specific one, but perhaps after this noise investigation cosmo and chief could run into each other and chief lets it slip that he saw him with his sister and says her actual name and cosmo realizes he was lied to?]
