His eyes widened and his head tilted with his confusion as Aljan spat at him, though his arms didn't drop into a more relaxed stance. Tola sniffed, rubbing her sopping hand over her muzzle. It was too cold to deal with this stranger; she could barely stand, let alone fight. Shaking herself of some of the water clinging to her clothes and fur, she spared the man another glance. He answered her question ominously, and she narrowed her eyes, tilting her head as though scrutinizing him.
What sort of name was that? She might have been able to tell, if his monotone wasn't on par with her own. For another moment she stood there, staring at him as though expecting him to perform a trick, before her eyes drifted over his shoulder to the rustling brush. The tall form of her traveling companion came through, carrying firewood and a bundle of rabbits. He hardly noticed the male as he came toward them, sparing "Wolfgang" only a glance before he zeroed in on Tola.
"The fuck you doing out here?" He demanded, and maneuvered his shoulder to begin shoving her. "Get inside!" Aljan hissed a warning, swiping claws, but Alek merely bared his teeth and growled, and the cat decided it was in his own best interest to leave the large male alone just then. Tola stumbled from his shoving, baring her teeth in a little snarl, and let him shepherd her to the cave. He turned back at the last minute to shout at the stranger, "You're a moron if you stay out there!" With that, he stepped inside and dropped dinner and the damp firewood by the stone pit they'd made upon finding the place. Tola settled down near Chantrea, and grasped at the pelts she found there, pulling two of them around her and sending a glare to Aleksei as he began building up the fire.
