alaric's voice shouldn't have surprised safflower as much as it had, considering he had expected someone to be around. the tabby gave a long sigh as he glanced from his paw to alaric, realizing he wouldn't be able to evade this one. even with the assumption that he alaric wasn't experienced physically, he still wouldn't be able to outrun him. or any other friends that might be lingering about. he wasn't stubborn enough to make the situation worse.
the tabby turned his head to face alaric completely, holding his paw close to his chest. do i say my real name? hmm... no, there was a chance he'd mentioned by aurum later. no use lying if there was a possibility of getting caught in it.
"safflower. i'm... exploring. aurum told me about this place." if the lion was as big and important as he looked, maybe that would settle the other's nerves. "i got a little hurt, though. caught on a bad splinter while messing around."
