Sniffing the air he frowned and tilted his head. He’d seen her do a sort of ‘victory lap’ thing and he didn’t know of any tiger doing anything like that. She didn’t quite smell right either as far as a true tiger went. Silently crouched with his knees to his chest he tilted his head as she lay beside the bush he was hiding behind. Curious, did she realize he was there? Her behavior before might have indicated something like that but he couldn’t be sure. He could tell she was a she because of a few things, first the smell, second her face and the way she had moved.<br/><br/>Concentrating he changed to his fox form. It was a silent change though the bush rustled a little as he grew a little smaller and his tails twitched in annoyance. He didn’t like changing in hiding places but it was better than getting snapped at. Even if she wasn’t a one hundred percent true tiger those jaws and powerful paws sure looked like they could do some damage. Inching forward his nose twitched as he tried to pinpoint the identity of the smell. It was somewhat familiar yet not at the same time.<br/><br/>He took a few more sniffs before he sneezed. Leaping back in surprise he hid behind a tree nearby. Tails twitching he had his foxfire around him. It was unintentional but he didn’t put them away either. He’d startled whatever it was and he wanted to make sure it would not come after him for a little while if he had to. Distract it in some way and if she didn’t pounce at him then he would try to investigate again a little more.
