He suffered a huff and a laugh all at once at the cat's snarky words that borderlined humour. "Ya gotta realise as wolves, if it ain't properly claimed, it ain't a claimed land," he supplied, almost tired in his response. "Ta us, it jus' smells like ya been wanderin' around, yano?" Tiberius eyed him, thankful that the cat had seemingly lost his desire to be purposefully difficult and instead, seemed open to supplying his side of the story.
Tiberius didn't know how cats scented their lands, because he was a lone cat and could one cat claim a territory when there was only his own scent and not that of a group? He spoke of Shiroshika taking their leisurely walks in his supposed land and he tilted his head as he appraised the walking cat. He was clearly letting off his own steam and for that, Tiberius could not be mad. "Reiko," he supplied, "our Empress. Ya met 'er?" He asked, wondering if Reiko had left that bit out when she had come to him about the trail left by the cat. "From wha' I 'ear, we go' sum major confusion on 'ow each of our types work, yeah?" Tiberius started, "we go' sum shit we needa sor' out and I ain't in no position o'power ta give ya a proper peach offerin. 'ow 'bout ya come ta meet Reiko, propah, an' talk about it?"
He could suggest it and the cat could decline and they would be in no better position than they were now, or he could accept and they could see where they could go from there. "'Cause mate, I'm tired of tha back'n' forth, yeah? I jus' wanna protect tha wolves tha' need me protection an' I wanna, when possible, offa tha same shit ta non-wolves," though he doubted the cat would even need his assistance, surely it was nice to know that one would have multiple creatures at their back should they need it? Or even to just be able to exist without anger seeping through ones bones. "I ain't ever been friends wit' a feline 'fore but I ain't opposed to startin' sumwhere," he shrugged, laying it all out on the table for the cat to ponder.
Plus, if other felines smelt this one and knew he was on friendly terms with wolves, Tiberius may end up with his army of cats that he so desired. ^^
