Were they against people on their borders? Had he missed that in some recent meeting when he had been absent?

Well, it did make sense if you thought about it for more than a second - intruders could slip into your territory if you left them unchecked, killing your vulnerable or your importants, potentially crippling a clan. He supposed he was used to people being more... relaxed about that sort of stuff. Usually the people who popped up on borders were joiners, anyways, even if this feline seemed to ignore it. She clearly wasn't on any harmful mission, anyways - she'd be much less meandering, elegant, and full of pride were she to want to sabotage anything through stealth. He assumed anyone could figure that much out. "Subject Aya, relax," the spider grumbled, voice incredibly deep especially for someone smaller than even his tortoiseshell colleague, dwarfed enormously by the tiger who had waltzed into their lands like this. "Intruding subject seems non-aggressive." Perhaps he was wrong, perhaps the tigress was luring them into a false sense of security by acting like this. No point in being cautious if she was - at best, it was a learning experience, at worst, he got a little mailed before he could escape. It'd probably grow back.

The arachnid had one more question before the sapphire cat introduced herself, eyes filled with small hints of green around the edges, indicating some healthy curiosity. "Is subject's pelt color natural?" As someone who loved genetic modification and the so called "mutations," his interest was incredibly piqued by the loiterer before him.
