FILLING US WITH LIES | o, joining

The appearance of an owl-cat hybrid caused Ren to jump slightly, and whilst the other's fairly enigmatic and ghostly look may've been the cause of concern within others, the bicoloured feline's alarm simply came from not being able to process that someone had been approaching him. The voice felt like a whisper tickling his ears, it would've been justified to think that he was just seeing things. His disorientation seemed to come in waves after all, each one leaving the loner wishing that he could curse it out. Gabriel seemed to be a permanent object at least, albeit one that was rather worse for wear. Sitting himself up straight following the twinge of embarrassment that came from being startled, Ren gave a brief nod in confirmation of being 'good', grinding his needle-like teeth together at the gesture. Now that that was out of the way, he could address the other questions coming their way, and understandably there were quite a few more than he was used to. That was what happened when you tried to be the strong, silent type, often others just left you to your own devices and pretended to be shook by the average looking feline stalking about. Ren wasn't sure which he preferred - letting others leave him to his own devices, or getting thrown into a spotlight for a little bit. He supposed it depended on the day, had any other event led him to the Ascendant's lands then the feline figured he would've relished in the interest. "It's just a habit. If I hadn't have waited, you may not have show up, it is beneficial,".

Deadpan fabrications aside, there was business that the male had here. It was business more selfish than what he'd like, guilt nibbled at his toes at the mere thought of asking these strangers to care for him when they didn't know him, but he'd make it up to them. With no where else to go currently, Ren figured that offering his services as a group member certainly wouldn't harm, so long as he hadn't ended up joining a group of demons. Judging by this first one's reaction to him and immediate understanding to speak quietly, appearance be damned, the cat was in safe paws. Talks of his noggin came up again and grey eyes found themselves staring off in Gabe's general direction again, enveloped in silence for an uncomfortable amount of time. Should be he open, or keep the majority of his problems to himself? Hmm... he'd have to make a choice soon, else he'd just bore himself waiting to make up an answer. "Yes," he rumbled softly, choosing not to go into any details. They didn't need any, all they needed to know what that he needed to rest. "I'll be allowed respite if I join, correct? I want shelter before the foxes come out,". Minuscule smile offered as a predetermined thank you gesture for letting him stay (what monster would turn away a poor kitty cat down on their luck?), Ren waited in anticipation for the approval of his request.
