She was unfamiliar with the cold indifferent reaction when it came to presenting someone with a gift. Everything she did for Tobias was met with a pat on the head, or a compliment laced with a critique. Raven was familiar with Tobias and his antics, especially when he received a gift he actually liked. If she had presented this steampunk sculpture to the spotted cat his claws would already be sinking into the metal as he climbed it. Gratitude wasn't something Tobias was capable of. Blue-grey eyes silently studied the facial expression of the green-eyed man. The look of indifference was slightly sore, but she ignored it. As a canine it was instilled in her to thrive on pleasing others. It was an annoying habit, almost like an addiction, and she was finally able to feed this craving. Even though Tetradore gave her such an apathetic thanks it was enough to cause the she-wolf to have a small satisfied smile on her face. She was not surprised to see him not take part in at least trying it out. With a small shrug she stuffed her hands within the front pocket of her hoodie, gripping her fingers tightly as she muttered softly.

"You're welcome."

For a moment she just stood there awkwardly quietly. Raven wasn't quite sure what to do or what else there really was to say. The Ark was still closed down and there was hardly any employees around. It was noon and no one would be around until later that evening. Eyeing the sculpture for a moment she would make a few tentative steps towards it. There were just a few things she did not mention to her Alpha about this gift. There were numerous traps. Being the mate of Tobias she had to think of every which way to trick her companion. Seeing how Tetradore and Tobias were close she was sure the panther would enjoy such a thing. Perhaps 'enjoy' wasn't the proper word, but at least it would be a challenge. At certain locations of the sculpture there were certain parts of metal that had a button underneath it that would cause soap to appear and slide down the metal branch causing it to be hazardous â€" as one would slip. There were a few branches that would 'break' kind of like a trap door that would make the individual fall and land on the branch below. Some branches looked solid, but they were truly hollow, if one individual climbed on top of it they would fall into the branch-like tube and have to roam through and leap to another branch. Even the trunk of this 'cat tree' had some tricks behind it too. She would turn around and attempt to speak in a playful challenging manner.

"If you want to try it you can...I promise I won't say anything...about you getting beat by me."

Tobias liked games and who was to say Tetradore wouldn't either? He seemed fine at the zoo with the armadillos and she heard Tobias speak about the games he and their Alpha played together. Sure it was mostly about fights, but still â€" he knew how to play. It was no surprise that males were creatures that naturally liked challenges and she was sure that a friend of Tobias' would have a liking to games. Looking away from the tom cat she would easily shift to her much more comfortable fur and after circling around the tree for a moment she would leap for the lowest branch and get her way to the top, balancing on it as she moved to get right up underneath the branch above her. With a wag of her tail she would make another leap at the branch, scrambling up with her useless paws managing to make it. But as soon as she stood on it the branch would lower and she would fall to the first branch. Looking back over at him she would give him a wolfish grin.

"Not everything is as it appears. I made sure there were a lot of tricks and traps too."

Of course she couldn't beat a cat at its natural ability to crime. However, she was Tobias mate and she knew what it took to play games.
