The silver Pharaoh slunk through the territory on the newly promoted Vizier’s scent, a ways behind since he had to pause to attend to other business he headed out.  The trail was still fresh, especially to his keen senses, so she was easy enough to track throughout the new land.  Sephiroth’s steps were quiet for a creature of his size; soft pawsteps on the ground as not to disturb too much foliage before he broke from the greenery of the rainforest to go deeper into the territory.  Towards the border more specifically, that was where his nose was telling him to find Jiyu.  He picked up the pace a small bit, expression neutral as he followed the path left for him.

And he found Jiyu alright, consuming the body of another feline.  Okay.  In his time here or in his cracked past memory, he hadn’t witnessed that.  Learning of the concept before he joined the Rosebloods, he had honestly found it rather revolting.  He had spent enough time around cat corpses, especially in the old base of the Rosebloods, to know they smelled foul and probably tasted the same way.  He couldn’t really imagine feasting on one of his own kind even in a dire circumstance, he was a prideful lion and wouldn’t stoop to such measures even in drastic times.

He hadn’t exactly pinned Jiyu for a cannibal either; the recent encounter with Painted did tell him that the calico certainly had her secrets, but cannibalism?  It was unexpected to say the least.  Was she as dangerous as the spirit implied?  …Did he make a mistake promoting her?  He was just inner monolouging about how he thought the Rosebloods should have been more brutal to live up to their reputation, and now that he was actually faced with said brutality he was starting to question things.  At least, of this type.  If it ended being aimed at his enemies he wouldn’t mind so much.

”Do you feel better?”  Sephiroth’s voice was a drawl to start, taking steps closer to the scene as his unblinking gaze moved from predator to prey and back again.  ”I never took you for a cannibal, Jiyu.  Is there something you want to tell me?”  For once his voice didn’t have an edge of threat in it, and he remained rather steady and neutral in his tone.  His eyes said it all, a spark of cold fire with questioning glittering behind them.  He needed to know things, he didn’t want secrets to be kept from him.  If she didn’t tell him?  He did have mental powers, he could more than likely force answers out of her if it came to that.  For now his physical presence was all that he was needed as he awaited a response form Jiyu.
