As his paw was held out for Aesior to shake, Solsken spoke up. Whether or not the luminary shook his paw to agree, he would pull it away and place it firmly onto the ground. Would he hold to his side of the deal? Raymond had no inclination to screw over someone who made a fair deal with him, although the monkey's paw may strike. If Tanglewood could provide what he desired and offer companionship, he would never betray them. His grudges were only with his family, not anyone else.
The young feline's pads tapped on the wooden panels in contemplation, only to raise his paw again and put it against his chest. With a claw, tapped on his heart. "Swear on it, darling," he offered back to Solsken. Sometimes, though, he questioned if he had the capability to have a heart. Love was a foreign concept to him. The only animal he loved was his father, but he ended up trying to kill him and ran away when unsuccessful. So, truly, the promise on his heart was inconclusive. He hoped that it could hold true though.
A new home couldn't hurt, could it? Tanglewood's territory was not the most pleasant place with it's murky waters and smelly junkyard, but it had it's perks. The library for starters. The more Raymond's gaze veered away from the others, the more he observed the tall shelves of the room and the many artifacts lining them. For a moment, as he waited as confirmation of his membership, the panther padded forward mindlessly to a nearby shelf with a globe upon it. With a curious gaze, he looked at it's contents. Moments later, he took a claw and lightly swiped at it's side, causing it to rotate. "I don't mean to seem scatter brained, but has anyone ever wondered where we are on here?" he mumbled. That was a big question. Potentially one that would never be answered. "And where is this 'Typhoon' place from here?" That was much simpler.
