The cat had decided to go with Tiberius' offered idea and though he hadn't shown it outright, the man was relieved. This was potentially a start to ending the added stress that had been lining his shoulders and a start to ensuring the peace Shiroshika so desired and believed in. That and to befriend a cat was a curious thing, though Tiberius knew that despite it going somewhat right for the moment -- there was always a chance that it may go sour.
It was obvious enough that the cat was quick to anger, but he wasn't entirely sure it was something that the cat realised. Perhaps it was miscommunication between species or that the cat was quick to go on the defense -- he didn't know but he had done his job in soothing the cat enough to agree to this, so Tiberius was confident enough that should it go sour, he could use Reiko's method before he'd have to possibly use his teeth and claws. That being said, Reiko herself was the diplomatic sort, elegant with her words and he could only hope she'd not offend the cat with sugar coating things.
Clearly the cat appreciated things being told outright, perhaps not in the rough way that Tiberius came across but perhaps with Reiko's womanly touch, the truth could be said softer. In the end, if it came down to it, he would put himself between Reiko and the cat and seek to protect her, defend her life and take the cat with him should he seek to act more childish than adult. He had some faith, however, for the way the cat had been open to listening to him.
His tired bones carried him forward, "ain't much longer," he rumbled to Kuhn, keeping the cat in his eyeline yet still leading him to where he'd like to go. He was not stupid; he'd not turn his back on the cat and allow vulnerable sides to appear open and ready. "I won't bring ya righ' in, ain't got tha power ta allow tha'," Tiberius stated, knowing that Reiko had been sus enough of the cat and to then bring him right in was likely one she'd not appreciate straight off the bat. "Lemme give 'er a call now," he grunted, a few feet before the marked borders of Shiroshika.
Moments later, he tilted his head back and sent out a howl, hoping that Reiko would hear him and know that he was attempting to draw attention. Hers, specifically. ^^
