Concentrating on the battle and watching those still below Tyger hardly notices when Terra places her hand on his shoulder. He merely grunts at her comment expressing her appreciation but difficulty in aiming down the cliff. When her grip tightens in an affectionate manner and she once again calls “Jungle-Cat” his eyes suddenly snap to gazing at her. Hearing the way she says that, feeling her hand on his shoulder and remembering the way she had looked into his eyes without fear or revulsion after seeing him at his most fearsome, something deep within him stirs. It is not a physical or sexual response, but rather an emotional one. He smiles behind his mask and his eyes sparkle as they change to violet again. He vows in that instant to get to know this exceptionally beautiful woman better when they are settle into the mansion and hopes he will not be forced to fight her. “Terra, I promise that unless it is needed to save your life, I will not do that to you again without first getting your strict permission.”<br/><br/>So lost in his own thoughts and feelings at Terra’s simple words and touch Tyger completely misses the worm’s demise and Cammy being carried up the cliff wall by the new stranger in red. He is brought back to full awareness when Terra starting commanding the group. He looks around taking in everybody’s condition and realizing that only Ryu is not with them at the top. Glancing quickly down the cliff wall and not seeing any more signs of the tentacles he figure that the other ninja should no problem ascending the cliff wall without his aid. Stepping away from Terra to take his position at point he lets his armor return to its normal state uncovering his head, face, and hands.<br/><br/>Tyger stops before passing Erizen and unfastens his purple cloak. Handing the cloak to her he says, “That was a very brave thing you did.”
