Alexis' near bold declaration that she liked to steal things so readily saw Tobias' own dark gaze widen as his attention shifted from his pack mate to the metal shipping crate and back again. That it was, surely, illogical for Alexis to somehow steal an entire shipping crate had hardly occurred to him. Tobias near convinced that such a threat was entirely real and entirely possible. That Alexis might somehow abscond with his and Tetradore's favourite sunning location so readily prompted that scowl to his features. Tetradore would hear about this. Yes. Yes. He would tell Tetra all about her plans and make sure she was punished for them. Tobias quite assured that no dessert was the worst possible punishment. Perhaps he might even convince Tetra to give him her dessert. That decidedly cunning plan so turning within the boys mind for several moments before those garbled words so at last managed to force themselves from his lips. His gaze firmly back upon Alexis now with an incredulous look.

"Pretty....cannot....move that. Pretty is....not...strong enough. Pretty is....a girl."

Girls were not nearly as strong as boys. Everyone knew that. Tobias distinctly assured Alexis was incapable of the task and yet that very doubt still existed all the same. The gangly Leopard nearly assured to spend the next few days so guarding that container just to be sure. Tobias nothing i not a suspicious creature. The boys insistence of that oncoming rain so failed to prompt any movement from the girl at all, Tobias shifting tactics then to insist that Tetradore has asked for her. Tobias, for all he was, was hardly foolish in any sense. The young man entirely aware that an order from Tetradore was the singular thing unlikely to be questioned. After all, no one within their pack was willing to displease his brother and by that notion alone they could hardly risk not believing Tobias just in case it proved to be true and tetradore truly did desire to see them. That indecision was clear upon Alexis' features and yet, as Tobias so expected, she was unwilling to risk ignoring an order- the young woman moving to follow him down into the depths of the Ark. Tobias, in that moment, nothing short of pleased with himself as his bare feet padded down those stairs and onto the wooden floor with every intention if displaying his work to Tetradore.

A plan that seemed destined to be foiled. Jackals sudden appearance readily gave the gangly leopard pause. The little mexican so attempting to ask Alexis just what was wrong with her face only for Tobias to round on him near violently. Alexis appearing equally taken aback. Jackal, for now, so readily seeming to decide this was not a battle he desired to fight. The shaggy haired deviant watching him hurry away with clear pleasure before waving Alexis on. Several more of those staff members passed them then, attempting to stifle those chuckles as they did. Tobias eagerly continuing to lead the way toward Tetradores office. At least until that bartender stepped out. The Leopard so barely had a chance to attempt to silence the man before he asked just what was on Alexis' face, the young woman glancing toward him before dashing hurriedly into her room. Tobias content to mutter beneath his breath in displeasure before shooting that bartender the very sort of look that saw him scurry back into his room.

The gangly deviant strode easily behind Alexis then, his own shaggy head peering around the door frame as the young woman peered into the mirror to eye his facial decorations she had been adorned with. That sheepish look so appearing upon his own features at her query of his artistic talent. Tobias shaking his own head as he lingered in the doorway.

"I....did not....do it."

Yes. Clearly he was not the culprit. Clearly.
