With his paws already beginning to move halfway out the door, he was ready to leave more than anything, him wanting to get out of this place as quick as he could manage which wasn't really that quick. Through the thick scent of marshlands and the groups scent he could barely smell anything past and through it, smelling nothing more than the stink of mushrooms and the entire forest really. His paws trudged hastily through the muddy grounds, his limping leg slowing him down tremendously. What he hadn't been expecting to hear was another voice, but frankly he had and it threw him on edge. The muddy king cheetah looked around hastily to try and find cover, his head turning from side to side in frantic and other panic. He couldn't take down one person if they had been the smallest mouse, let alone an entire group of animals. Hell, he would rather go back to the humans instead of trying to face an entire group. At least with the humans they would keep him alive and he would have a chance to escape again.
Unsheathing his claws, the male got ready for an attack, closing his eyes and flinching once the girl had revealed herself. A few moments of waiting and no attack came, no claws went through his abnormal pelt and no teeth tried to sink into his flesh. What was this? Some kind of prank? He opened his eyes to look at the girl standing before him, looking down to meet her gaze. Good, just a domestic feline. If anything went wrong he would be able to take her on easily. At first he expected her to get off the territory, which was exactly what he had been trying to do this whole time; leave. But it seemed as if it was actually quite the opposite. "What?" At first his disbelief was carried largely in his voice, the only tone and emotion he could muster. A wave of confusion washed over him as he looked at her. So they weren't going to kill him? He cleared his throat and stood up to speak normally. "Yeah, uh, I'm alright. I believe." Not very convincing but he wasn't sure if she had been the only one. If something larger than him decided to come along, he'd probably be dead meat. Frankly, he didn't want to stick around for that.
Marcellus had to admit, his head was definitely hurting pretty bad and his paws ached, longing for him to sit down and relax a couple of minutes. No. He could do that outside the territory. "This is your territory, yeah? I best be going. I don't need trouble and don't need to cause trouble." He was ready to leave before someone else had decided to come out. He wasn't exactly down to tango with two.
