A dark golden chrysalis cracks open a small dark creature slipping out of the egg like shape, all black with white stripes down his form. He was a tiger, but his appearance was much different than a usual tiger, his body shrouded in darkness rather than the bright orange of his species.

He made no sound, his eyes narrowing as he stalked out, taking a moment to look around, searching for information on what was going on and where he was. Unknowingly, he attempted to activate muffle as he focused on his footsteps, initially just trying to be careful as to not step in something bad.

Slowly he lifted his head and sniffed around, curious but cautious, his eyes narrowed and his face neutral.

He stalked around in the silence for a few moments before eyes fell upon another not too far away, seemly content with the bone in his grip. For a moment, the young tiger hesitated, still unsure and new to the lands, but uncertainty wasn't something he could afford right now, not when he didn't know what all was going on around him.

So, slowly he would slip out of the shadows, announcing himself with a soft chuff, not wanting to startle the other creature. One step closer, but that was it, giving ample space between in case the other creature showed any hostility.

He paused for a moment, taking in the scene in front of him, ocean blue gaze flicking from the creature before to the bones he gnawed on, before turning back to the creature once more. Only then would he finally speak, his voice low but calm, a Russian accent clear in his tone, his common language a bit broken. "Rajani." He raised an eyebrow curiously, clearly like he was expecting something in return. "Who you?" He finally asked, walking a few more steps out to sit in more of the light but still far enough to keep distance between them.

He raised an eyebrow for a moment, seeming to think before nodding slightly. The man in front of him didn't seem to have any issues with him being here, at least not at this moment, so he figured he would push his luck until he wasn't able to anymore. Izote. He said simply, repeating the creature's name for a moment, committing it to memory before turning his attention to the next question.

Shaking his head for a moment, he shrugged slightly, mostly to himself, before answering. Exploring. What is this place? He cocked his head to the side curiously, flicking his tail behind himself. His eyes flicked down to the bones around the creature, silently realizing he was rather hungry but now wasn't the time.

He raised an eyebrow at the man threw him a bone, a look of amusement and curiosity painting his features. Not many would give up food to strangers so easily, he wouldn't have, so why did this creature?

He hummed softly to himself in thought as he lowered his head to gnaw at the bone, pulling off the small pieces of meat and gristle still attached. It wasn't much, but it was enough for now, and he could chew on the bone later.

Turning his attention back to the creature, he nodded for a moment, flicking his tail behind him, a show of his tense nature even as his body remained relaxed. This place seem large, lots of caves. It was a statement more than a question, something he had already noticed as he had wandered. How long have you been here? He asked simply, cocking his head to the side. He wanted to know just how experienced this man in front of him was.
