    "Flame..." She echoed, giving an excited hop. "I like that name!" She was still somehow oblivious to the presence of the coyote, or she just didn't care. Neither would be a surprise, considering the femme's finicky personality and questionable intelligence.

    At that answer, a wide grin spread across the coyote's face. [b]"Good. I'll provide you protection from others of my kind and other such predators in exchange for food, yeah? Seem like a good deal?"    he said, tilting his head slightly.

    Sparrow was chasing a butterfly and hadn't realized Chroma had left until now. He turned around and grabbed the fish he had gotten her, he hadn't eaten any yet. "Chroma? Where are you?" he asked, "you left your fish." He quickly picked up her scent and hurriedly going after her. "Hey Chroma, you forgot your fi-," he spotted the coyote and froze, "oh dear." Sparrow was scared to death of coyotes, foxes, bears, and just about anything bigger and stronger than him.

    [b]"Any of you other cats can feel free to tag along if you'd like, for the same deal."    he said, giving a curt nod. "Alright, Koda. Let's go." With that, he pushed his paws against the ground and started walking. His gait was rather slow by his standards, but he probably seemed a lot faster to the shorter felines, his broad steps covering more ground.

    Sparrow stared wide-eyed at Koda and Zephyrus. "Y-you're actually going with him?" he stammered, not believing what he was seeing, "he'll eat you the minute your back is turned! What about your group? I know I've only known you for a day, but we're more loyal than any coyote!" He looked cautiously at Zephyrus, "no offence."

    "Wait," Blue mewed to the fast-paced coyote. She sprinted to catch up with him. Although he was big and strong, Zephyrus did not seem too threatening. Besides, he might be an advantage.


    "Wouldn't you like to... come with us?" she suggested cautiously. "Think about it. There will be more cats to help find food. We're going in that direction," she pointed with her tail.

    Zephyrus huffed out a deep breath. [b]"I'm not a senseless creature. I'm intelligent enough not to break a good deal when I have it within my grasp with uncalled for murder. If I killed him, I would have food for one day, not a few weeks. Murder would be illogical in this situation."    he stated flatly. "Of course... I've made no deal with you yet, so I'd suggest you not insult me. I may not be as merciful as I appear."


    At Blue's words, he paused. Hm... Seemed a well enough idea to him. He gave a shrug. "If you provide me with my end of the bargain, I'd be happy to follow you and give my assistance as a bodyguard."

    Sparrow turned to Blue, "you actually trust him?" he demanded, more scared than anything. He didn't want to travel with a coyote, but he needed protection incase they came back. He flicked his tail over his scars, mostly hidden under his long coat. He looked back over at the coyote, "sorry, I didn't mean to insult you, I'm just nervous." He stopped himself from adding for obvious reasons.

    The small gray she-cat turned to the other cats. "What do you all think?" In her opinion, it was a good idea. Zephyrus's intelligence and cunning would be highly valued in the journey. She knew for a fact that it would be risky to set out on their own, with only one experienced cat. Such a big group could only attract attention. A bodyguard would be necessary if they all hoped to come back intact.

    [b]"What's not to trust?"    Zephyrus said, tilting his head ever so slightly as all three of his eyes focused on Sparrow. "I have given no indication of having violent intentions. Again, it would be illogical of me to break a good deal such as this. So, tell me, what is your personal vendetta against coyotes? Am I untrustworthy because of my ancestors? Perhaps your prey instincts tell you to run? Whatever the cause, you should abandon it if we're going to be traveling together. I'll tire quickly of putting up with your constant suspicion."

    Sparrow held his gaze and then looked back at the ground, the third eye unsettling him. "Sorry, I'm just nervous. I've never heard of a coyote who would group up with cats. I guess there's a first for everything."

    She protectively stepped in front of Sparrow. "Thank you for explaining your motives for agreeing. But tell me, what reaction do you suppose is normal for a cat meeting a coyote? The instinct that tells him to run from your kind is what has saved his ancestors from certain death."
