Tyger stands there for a moment completely stunned by Yuna’s reaction. Since he acquired his curse nobody has ever touched him in such a manner while in one of his furred forms. His eyes finally turn to Emma’s as he shrinks and the fur disappears and his armor and equipment return. He smiles at Emma saying, “Well at least your monstrous form is still quite attractive with a rather exotic allure to it. Mine is just … well … beastly.” Turning to Yuna he says, “Thank you, Yuna, I have never felt a tender touch against my fur before it was quite wondrous.”<br/><br/>Slowly walking back into the seating area Tyger takes a seat away from any of the others. He has much to think about, maybe Ryu is correct and being here may give him what he really wants. He still doubts that winning the competition will do it, but among the other contestants he seems to have already gotten a measure of the acceptance he so desperately craves. He also wonders at the strange physiological response he noticed in Giselle at the moment Yuna had touched his face. Is that what happens to the body when one feels jealousy? Why would she be jealous? She never showed that kind of interest in him that he can remember.<br/><br/>His thoughts are interrupted by Helena’s voice coming from everywhere at once. At the mention of lunch and the arrival of the carts loaded with food Tyger’s stomach rumbles its annoyance at being empty. When the flight attendant approaches him he takes a deep breath taking all the different scents of the different foods being offered. Always liking to try new things he ignores the food from his own world and tries things that are completely new to him.<br/><br/>After enjoying his meal Tyger glances down at his left hand. It has stopped its bleeding and oozing and looks to be about a week old now. Changing form has healed it quite well. Experimentally he flexes it and makes a fist, it is still tender and a bit stiff but it does not break open again. Relaxing he closes his eyes and soon falls into a light slumber.<br/><br/>Being awakened by the captain’s announcement Tyger follows the instructions and fastens the restraint about his waist. Upon landing he slowly removes the belt and slowly stands and listens to what Helena is saying. With his acute hearing he does not need to be up front to hear the words or understand their meaning. He sees the blonde change clothes and although is impressed by her nude form is otherwise unmoved. For some reason though the very brief glimpse of Yuna’s nudity has him wondering what her flesh would feel and taste like. Shaking the thoughts of running his tongue over her smooth skin he is one of the last to leave the plane.<br/><br/>At the top of the stairs Tyger takes a deep breath and grimaces silently hoping that the stench is from their transport and will lessen once in the jungle. He reaches up over his head and takes a firm grip on the top of the door frame. With a sudden display of strength and grace he swings his legs up over his head and on to the metal. Despite the smoothness of its surface he quickly and apparently easily climbs to the roof. From this new vantage point he looks at the mansion and scans the forest.<br/>From atop the plane he sees Erizen fall due to the metal jaws of a trap clamped around her ankle. He then also sees Giselle narrowly avoid a lethal blade trap. He is about to jump down to aid the Merc even though he does not think she deserves it, but stops when Emma the one person who has gotten worst of the woman’s bad attitude actually lifts the injured woman in her arms. He smiles and thinks to himself,<em>now there is a woman with honor.</em>He is very impressed by Yuna’s means of transport and by the fact that she lands to give further assistance to the injured fighter.<br/><br/>Taking a couple of running steps Tyger leaps from the plane and flips through the air. He lands gracefully just a few feet from the blonde soldier. Both of his legs bend absorbing the impact and one hand touches the hard stone like ground. He stands slowly and looks at the blond, “Cammy, right? Would you ladies mind if I too joined you. I suggest that we move through the jungle rather than up the path. As you can guess, I’m sure, I’m quite at home in the jungle and can get us to our destination quite quickly and possibly avoid the traps and other obstacles.”
