Raslan (Private)

[Morningpaw]

(Aslan only)

Ray was spread out in a patch of sunlight, letting it warm his brown tabby pelt. He hadn't done anything yet that day, but the growing sound of paw steps were probably going to change that. He lifted his head and looked at the approaching cat. "Whad'ya need?" He asked slowly, a little groggy from his almost-nap.

Aslan had been walking past, minding his own business. The seeming random question had him stopping though, and he noticed for the first time the cat he was about to walk past. A considering air swelled as the calico debated the question. "Air, I suppose. And food, water. I wouldn't say no to a comfortable nest every night either. But nothing right now though, if that's what you were asking." he allowed, taking a seat.

"What do you need?"

[Morningpaw]

Ray grinned at Aslan's answer, and quickly sat up, curling his tail around his paws. "Pardon me, I thought you were going to tell me to go on a hunting party or something." He said, up through the hole in the roof that was currently supplying him warmth.

"I don't believe we've met. Or, well, not formally. I'm well aware of who you are, Aslan." He said, giving him a somewhat exaggerated bow of his head. "But in case you don't know who I am, I'm Ray. Pleasure to finally meet you."

[Llamafuzz]

"Oh, no." Aslan chuckled, eyes slitting in the faintest amusement before looking back at the tabby. "You looked so relaxed, it would have been a shame to disturb you." Hunting was always a possibility of course, and perhaps he'd suggest it later. For now at least, he'd learned that his companion was one of the hunters.

"Ray, the pleasure is all mine," the calico nodded with streamline politeness, tilting his head the barest amount. "My name proceeds me, it seems, that's amusing." he reflected, snorting at the thought.

[Morningpaw]

Ray snorted and nodded at Aslan's last comment. "One does not become Ragabash's right paw cat without getting a name for himself in the rest of the Tribe." He said, the faintest hint of sarcasm ringing in his voice. It was actually kind of weird for Ray to meet Aslan. He had seen Ragabash around, obviously, leading the Tribe like always, and he never felt afraid or something to talk to him. But Aslan was like the lifeline, or better yet the body guard, to Ragabash. Ray felt as though he had to impress Aslan in order to impress Ragabash, or vice versa, and now that the opportunity was here, he was nervous that he was making a bad impression.

He got to his paws and looked to the main exit. "So, how about that hunt? Or, if nothing else, a walk in the sun."

[Llamafuzz]

"So it would seem," Aslan chuckled, though his mind was churning with the faintest of agitation at the fact. Keeping it hidden he grinned at Ray, who was not the target of his ire. In fact, the tom seemed slightly off in his disposition, perhaps because Aslan had interrupted him or something. It was no matter at the moment at least.

Following the tabby's movements with a curious gaze, Aslan paused at the invitation. He hadn't been expecting it in all honesty, and his own surprise was enough to secure his answer. "A hunt sounds agreeable, if you're finished with your rest." The tiniest smile flickered to his face before disappearing as he gestured for Ray to go ahead and begin walking.
