several curses and prayers cycled through safflower's thoughts at once as he stood his ground. he stared snarl down, gaze unwavering. he side-eyed quiet as she came forward, trying to ease the rising pace in his heartbeat as she came closer. his eyes squint as she matches the little harmony that had come from the kitten before, but ultimately relaxes when she comes between them and snarl.
he wouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth but... he had hoped for a maybe better looking knight in shining armor. less bug-infested at the very least.
his tail lashed when two more came forward, tilting his chin up at them. he was giving off much more confidence than he really had, but he hoped it was at least selling.
"stranger danger." he answered ivan snidely, holding his breath as caustic spoke. he hoped, prayed again he didn't recognize safflower.
instead he would answer snarl, exhaling a heavy sigh. he would have to go pretty far with this plan... did this kid have a mom? who knew, but even if it did... he wouldn't trust that kind of mother with a houseplant. "left. awhile ago, kid hasn't been the same since." he hesitantly placed a paw on the kitten's head. "i told'em to stay while i went to get food, but clearly they don't listen too well." the lie rolled off his tongue like butter, but his heart still slammed in his chest.
"now, uh, back off! d'know what kinda diseases you got, hacking up your lungs like that. we don't want whatever it is."
