It truly wasn't often that the Alpha feline so found himself employed in such animalistic actions of play - not even with Tobias himself. Certainly he had taken to some childish games with his nearest and dearest companion and yet, the electronic video games they enjoyed were by far their more usual past time then anything such as this. In truth, it had been quite a long time indeed since he had been any such mood, much less had time to relish in the lighter aspects of life. Even that metal cat tree that dominated the far wall of the Ark's hull had gone in disuse by the ebony feline. His world had become far too demanding of late, between the logistics of the pack, his girlfriend, that ever stalking enemy, the Ark business, and the other less virtuous activities he engaged within, there was little time left for Tetradore to simply enjoy himself, much less enjoy all those simple moments that life had to offer him. No, tonight was unique in more way than one and yet, it was that simple air of play that so contextualized, for him, that position that Raven so took as she stood over his momentarily astonished figure. For an awestruck moment, his emerald eyes stared up at the young woman, simply watching her in a clearly taken back fashion before a soft huff left his nose.

He was hardly aware in any regard the way such a simple sound so seemed to produce anxiety within her, much less the tension that filled every muscle of her frame. No, his focus was entirely too steadfast upon his own retaliation to have noticed those subtle shifts within the woman's demeanor. It was with an abrupt shift of his body that Tetradore threw himself against the woman, using his superior weight to send her tumbling with him as he rolled the pair through the crowd of frightened armadillos until their barrel rolling came to a halt just as suddenly with their positions entirely opposite of the fashion in which they had been before. There was a certain sparkle to those bright emerald eyes as he stared down at her, that laughter so filling her mind as he leaned forward to squish his nose against her, declaring that he had won this round in a rather pleased fashion. Tetradore hardly anticipated the response he might so receive, that hot, wet tongue immediately sliding from the lupines jaws to nearly bathe him. The cat immediately pulled back, his head shaking from side to side before the wolf's paws came up to his face. A scowl crossed his lips, followed abruptly by a whine. He was hardly prepared for the armadillos that so suddenly assaulted his form from multiple fronts.

It was that skill of teleportation that Tetradore so clung to in those delicate moments, using his affinity to so pull himself from the lupine's grasp and the animals that so assaulted him only for the man to reappear but a moment later several feet away from the woman. He stuck out his tongue, shaking his head ever so slightly as he used his own large paws to try to remove the woman's slobber from his dark ebony fur. "Ewww....girl cooties...." His voice entered her mind with a masculine whine to it, resembling the carefree boy he must have been at nine before any such travesty had befallen his family. The feline, however, was entirely built as a creature for attack. He had been taught to produce fear in others, to hunt them, to murder them. There was little of his affinities that were able to craft something so utterly playful and yet, this simple fact hardly perturbed him in the least. The feline was able to, in some manner, use what little abilities he had in this regard. He dashed into the tall, overgrown grass that Raven had but moments ago existed within, a soft mew echoed out to her in a fashion of so playing a mixture of hide-and-go-seek and marco-polo. His form lowered in the grass so the panther was nearly unnoticeable. The panther slinked further away from the girl, waiting for her to come find him - if she could.
