'Dissonance' realized immediately that she hadn't really answered his question at all, but he didn't press it. He was sure he'd find out eventually one way or another. Few things stayed secret to him once he set his mind on uncovering the truth. "Right," He muttered after a few moments, flicking an ear and casually licking at a paw to idly smooth down a bit of fur that was out of place. "I suppose I should say it's a pleasure to meet you - but if I said that, I'd be lying. You are, in a way, my enemy by virtue of your very existence, after all." For a moment an impish, unnaturally toothy sort of grin spread across his muzzle, his paw coming up to rest in front of it as he snickered momentarily, those dull, lifeless eyes betraying no emotion on their own, a fact that made the whole gesture look acutely wrong.
"But I'm sure I'll quite enjoy your company in the meantime. The concept of 'frenemies' exists for a reason. Surely you'll offer me plenty of entertainment, won't you? It's a request from one Daemon to another." It was strange that he referred to himself as such; he showed none of the signs of actually being a Daemon at all. He gave a rolling shrug of his shoulders, his expression returning to that impassive mask. "For all of my wandering between Planes and Fragments, this is the first time we've actually spoken, at least directly. It's been a very long time coming." The tom still hadn't gotten to why exactly he was here now. It wasn't just for the sake of meeting Capone, that much was obvious.
