When he'd been a puppy, it had been a running joke that cats were weaker than them, little play things they could screw around with when they got really bored. And it was because they were just so small; fierce, undoubtedly, but still far too little for dogs as big as Quietus to see as anything but a cute plushie that the humans would give them when they were particularly good. With their big eyes, small muzzles, big ears and small paws, could anyone blame him? As he strolled up after hearing the two voices - one familiar and one not - he was forced to crane his neck downwards to address the both of them properly. "You have business here, or what?" the ebony shepherd inquired not unkindly, his purple-and-orange eye settled into a frown. The stranger didn't look like a happy camper, especially in contrast to Marisol, who stood beside him with that same creepy air around him. To be honest, he was surprised the guy had even bothered speaking, because it seemed like he was more than happy with stalking from afar. He didn't ask for a name - he could care less, really, about what his mother might've named him, or what he might call himself from wherever he'd come from. All he cared about was the safety of the assorted bunch of animals behind him, and even the smallest creatures could present some kind of threat. It was his part to figure out what that threat was.
