<Kotono> OOC: Quick clarifying question. Do you have any supernatural ability to speak with or communicate with felines?
<Pepo> OOC: feline is one of my languages
<Kotono> OOC: Do actual cats speak it, or is it just the racial language for humanoid cats and the like, like cat folk and tibbits?
<Pepo> OOC: The Feline language, a strange combination of purrs, hisses, and empathic transfers, allows tibbits to communicate with cats of all forms.
<Kotono> OOC: Fantastic, okay.
<Kotono> There's stairs down below. They lead to a hallway and shippy things, but not that Pepo looks. From the scent, the other cat is beneath the steps, in the shadows. Indeed, you can see a flash of cat-green eyes from those shadows. In them is a black and white cat, hackles up as it eyes Pepo.
<Pepo> Pepo keeps his distance, standing mostly still with his tail motionless and his ears relaxed. He looks at the other cat but blinks and averts his gaze now and then, rather than challengingly making a direct stare. Very much a non-aggressive, "Hello," between two strange cats.
<Kotono> A wary hiss follows, the cat staring at Pepo. "Mine," it says, tail swishing about. "My place."
<Pepo> He leans forward and sniffs a little before making a little chirping noise to affirm, "Your place is nice." Then he starts to back off, still keeping inconsistent eye contact to make clear, "Your place is yours." Certainly he could overpower the other cat and make it submit, but that could upset Old Kamhoff. Just have to take things slowly.
<Kotono> The cat watches Pepo, an old one from the looks of it. One eye has a scar over it, but the eye itself seems functional still. "My place is mine," it echoes with a little noise, "Gray one mine. Gives me tribute and food."
<Pepo> "Other three mine," Pepo says in a little purr. "Don't give much, but only starting to learn," he concludes in a soft hiss before backing off further from the cat and seeking out his own place to curl up and rest.
<Kotono> "Gray one's lair has dog," The cat adds as Pepo retreats. "Strong dog. Never leaves."
<Pepo> "Good," Pepo hisses, not wanting to spend time around a dog that hasn't been thoroughly trained.
<Kotono> OOC: Okay, I'll you back into #dunes when the group's back together in a few
