It was a rather familiar scent that caused the were panther to halt in his tracks, despite the opening that he had created. While escape should have been his primary focus, and certainly still was, the smell of his pack upon the lupine certainly served to confuse him, causing the panther to hesitate. A glimpse of suspicion crossed his emerald gaze and briefly the boy couldn't help but to wonder who she was to the only two individual he cared about within the entire world. In truth, it had frustrated him more then he cared to admit, the fact that he had finally found them and they seemed far too busy with their own affairs. He'd covered too many times for Tobi's disappearances whilst all the while being left alone under the cruel care of Risque. Still - it was a burden he'd chosen to bare to get them both out of harms way. A soft puff of air left his nose as the panther stepped in after her, choosing not to comment on it yet, trying to stuff those rare glimpses of emotions that only Nadya and Tobias seemed capable of pulling out within him. For so long he'd done so well to master the art of indifference but they knew just how to shatter that facade and, quite frankly, he was more jealous of the time she got to spend with them then he cared to admit to her.

His emerald eyes shifted around the exposure he found himself within, his gaze drifting over the glass that rimmed the facility. He had hoped that the zoo would choose not to fortify the exhibit of these creatures nearly as well as they might some of their predators and, quite thankfully, it seemed as if he was in luck. The numerous trees the lined the vicinity of the place were certainly well within his capabilities to climb - one leap over and Tetradore would find himself on the other side and one step closer to freedom. His vibrant gaze shifted towards the peculiarly marked wolf near him, a small look of discontent marring his features as he watched her play with the frightened animal in front of her. Oddly, his dissatisfaction hardly originated from the young woman's actions - having had enough of such juvenile antics with Tobias around. Instead, he was busy contemplating just how he intended to get her up on a tree, balancing on a limb and jumping to safety with her current form. Maybe it was the scent of Tobias and Nadya lingering around her that caused such a protective thought process to fester within him. Regardless - she had become his charge for the night in some fashion or another and he was determined to see her too over the fence and back into the wild world she belonged in.

The soft thud of the creature rolling into his paws brought his attention back to the situation at hand, his stare shifting from the wolf to the spherical thing in front of him with a rather blank gaze. Fun was such a rarity in Tetradore's life. So much so that the world had almost become synonymous to torture, especially when it left the lips of his vampire mistress. His large ebony paw rose, lightly nudging the ball in an almost cautious gesture. When the creature didn't jump to attack like he half expected it too, the man found himself giving it a much harder bat, letting it bounce and roll over the surface and back to the female at which it came. His tail flicked from side to side in an almost mischievous gesture. So she liked balls huh? He could do balls - they were certainly far safer then any game Tobias had previously attempted to loop him into.
