Apparently, humans weren't the only ones to possess the magnificent ability to sulk. Even giant cats did it. Especially if said giant cat has ego problems, is currently being ignored, has caninophobia(more of a hatred than a phobia), a very stupid looking hound in front of him, and two idiots doing their idiotic things in front of him. Especially when everyone's acting as if civilization and him don't get along. This giant cat ignored the fact that he hadn't quite been so civilized lately. After all, that didn't matter. They should have known that he was civilized. As already mentioned, said cat had an ego. And a particularly nasty streak of sadism, which doesn't prove that he's civilized but definitely says volumes about genetics.
Which is why, no doubt, that this cat didn't just sit there and whine. It sat there, whined mentally, and bullied the dog. Ah, the joys of life. The only problem was that the dog wouldn't attack him. Again, appalling loyalty. Obviously, dogs have the vices and cats have the virtues. And vices, in this case, refers to the mushy emotions that Nathair personally didn't have to deal with. Virtues referred to the ability to meet things head on.
Nathair, after a while, grew tired of whispering threats that the dog didn't even understand, and decided to needle the human. He got up, returned to his original position near Ari, and began licking his paw, which conveniently hid blood-red eyes. See, for some reasons, people those days connected red eyes with unpleasant individuals. Folly, of course, and he set to prove it by giving the man a cordial and anonymous greeting.
Hello, he said cheerfully, I'm Bones, you know, your other self? I'm really nice, you know. I ate bananas for supper. The whole greeting was completely random and intended to prove to the man that he was going bonkers. Or bananas, should you prefer tht term.
