Catalyst was relieved to hear how friendly the crimson male sounded at this time compared to the other day, where it seemed as if he was irritated and maybe left the two on that note since the strange coyote creature was making a huge racket for no big deal in the first place. In a sense the pup wouldn’t blame him for his departure, for Catalyst during that time had to cosset and care for the creature as much as she could from her hysteria of being out of her environment and species. Spreading a small smile across her maw, she was glad he was in a better mood this time, but by the way his eyes were constantly shifty, the de Sadira was confused at this look he was presenting. It was too easy to tell that something was on his mind, and his focus was temporarily fading in and out elsewhere. Catalyst was met, however, with an explanation to his departure from that one day, and perhaps an explanation to account for why he appeared so apprehensive. He patrolled the borders, was a guardian of such, so it seemed to make sense that he held a suspicious look about everything. Catalyst then shrugged his shifty actions off. At the mention of dangers, her interest piqued, inquiring to him about the monster puppy eater she had been on the hunt for three times now at the borders. His compliment about her strong legs made her wag her tail at a quick pace and also boast her chest out a little more proudly for this. “Yeah! There’s a monster puppy eater out there somewhere tha’ attacked my l’il sister! Been tryin’ t’ find’em, don’ know where he stays. Have y’ seen any puppy eaters around?” If he was the border patrol, then Catalyst assumed that he must have heard some news about what happened.
All of a sudden, something changed. The chemistry in the atmosphere, the overall mood, everything about this friendly second encounter changed on a whim before she could comprehend it. Their conversation and introduction was dropped instantly, forgotten in a second, never to be brought back to. This was the second time that Catalyst would not know the name of this adult (and vice versa), and would probably never find out from his own telling. Catalyst hadn’t been feeling a strange vibe at all during the day, but with the adult raising his tail and going on high alert, something wasn’t right. Confusion settled in first, astounded by his sudden words of telling her to hide somewhere. At first she didn’t obey the command, simply standing there and trying to transfix her gaze to whatever he was trying to look at in the distance. Catalyst didn’t see anything, nor hear anything out of the ordinary; there were no red flag indicators from herself that anything was approaching, although within the distant shadows a predator had their eyes on the two, waiting for the moment to strike. Feeling her heart pick up its pace, a strange coarse of adrenaline surged through her, unlike one that was felt with pure excitement. Puzzlement still settling in, he commanded once again to go and hide, this time in urgency and in haste.
With ears lowering slightly against her skull, her two-toned eyes began roving around them both; missing the point entirely of what he was trying to tell her, or warn her of. Slowly did she begin to back up a couple feet, not sure just where a good hiding spot was supposed to be around here, or where he wanted her to go exactly. There were several key places, but choices, choices, choices in this instant, and it was too quick of a choice for her to make at the moment. “Is… is it th' puppy eating monster?” Her voice broke out delicate and soft, as if to not let distant ears eavesdrop upon her. The predator was near, but Catalyst had no sense of just where it was located, or if there wasn’t a big threat at all. Her puppy senses were still in the process of becoming in tune with the world around her yet.
