Fire was quite enjoying this perch up on Bitsa's back, actually.  It was cozy, warm, in the thick fur.  Much warmer than without that protection, to say the least.  So it was in good humour that he enjoyed the two tigers' company, speaking back to Tamara, "Yeah, I know neither of you are the average tiger.  I figured you both have some traits, like speech and size, that set you apart from the norm.  But you are both the experts here, and I want to know as much as I can before I am sent off on my own.   So expect a lot of questions as things come to mind!"
