"Uhm, ok." Just because Toboe had always been around humans who used a currency system didn't mean that Toboe had a good understanding of it. He always thought of it as just one of those "human things," to begin with. Still, he wasn't the biggest fan of outright stealing, but then again, it was a lot better than starving too...

"Where are we going anyway? I mean, after we get food." Blue had mentioned something about a castle and different worlds, hadn't she? Toboe just hoped that they were all better than the poor excuse of a world they had plopped down from. "You think we can make this place our new home?"

:D -Hold-

"Don't worry Runt, it's not too far for you." With his hands in his pockets and a taunt to the youngest packmate, he came to a slow stop at the corner of a block. They usually got new shipments about this time of the week, and his nose only confirmed that. Already, he could smell the fresh meat being cut up and set up on display

"I'm not a runt!" Toboe's human illusion pouted, but it quickly faded when Tsume looked back at him. He cocked his head, waiting for his answer an wondering what made him look like that.

This time, Toboe heard the sound, though it seemed a bit faint. "Did you hear that, Tsume?" He almost blamed it on rats, but then he remembered that there weren't rats or other animals to make sounds like that in the city, save for that meerkat thing he had run in to once, but her voice was so loud it would have drowned out the weird noises.

Toboe tensed. Maybe it was just him, but something didn't...feel right. He looked back at Tsume, a worried look on his face.

"Hn..You could've fooled me." He let out that usual huff of a laugh of his while taunting the pup, but that changed when he was alerted to the presence of..something. Something that he felt shouldn't be there.

While his human illusion remained still and focused, his wolfen ears were swiveling, trying to pick up on the sound again--a faint little clatter of daggers against stone. "Yeah, I heard it."

But then he heard it again. Fleeting, abnormal footfalls of a small and light creature. There was no trailing scent to follow, only his ears and that tension in his gut. And it sounded like there were more of them flittering about like shadows in the darkness this time. And possibly larger ones from the sounds of it, but it didn't deter him. He didn't return the glance to Toboe, but instead remained focused, tail standing upright.

Toboe, on the other hand, looked just as anxious as he felt. His human expression was plastered with it. His ears were turning like Tsume's, his tail also upright, but he was also visibly shaking. He continued to sniff the air and look around. He couldn't catch a scent! Why wasn't there a scent? Everything had a scent!

He glanced at Tsume, and saw how focused (and seemingly calm) he was. As much as Toboe wanted to prove that he wasn't the runt, he liked the idea of living without being in pain was better, so he kept an eye on him, hoping that Tsume would give a sign of what to do...

Too late. A blue and black creature (without a scent) leaped from the shadows and targeted Toboe, who had managed to jump a little out of the way purely from the surprise of the attack, but it wasn't enough to avoid getting hurt. It managed to get a swipe in at Toboe, who whimpered a bit but tried to fight back, snapping his jaws. The little monster however was too quick for him, and after finding an opening, went in for another strike.
