Felix

Just because I need you doesn't mean I trust you.

Felix glanced back at Ilirhaeya.
"Well, I'm ready right now." He padded off toward the open door, then turned around, letting his gaze linger on the two canines.
"We'll be right back," he promised.
Probably. With a flick of his tail he turned away from them, and slipped past the door, leaping from creaking stair to stair.
Another door, and he felt feathery blades of grass brushing against his coat, breezes rustling his fur. After spending so much time cooped up, he felt like rolling on the ground like a kitten.
Of course, he wouldn't. Not with anybody watching.
Especially Ilirhaeya.
She seemed nice enough, but she was even more of a stranger to him than Daciana and Reima, and he still hadn't forgotten their...
awkward meeting.
Until he knew her better, knew how she worked, like he did with Daciana and Reima, he couldn't really relax around her. Calm, polite, aloof; that was the Felix she'd get to see.
Seeing! He was supposed to scout the area. How could he have forgotten?
He was Felix. And he liked being perfect.
But it was hard to be flawless with so many other animals around to care about his mistakes.
Felix raised his muzzle into the air, sniffing at the breeze just as it changed direction and headed downwind to him.
Where before there had been only the sweet smell of grass, now there was dust and dirt and the filth of an abandoned city.
It was disgusting. But maybe it could be good too.
"Some of the alleys around here are full of garbage," he shouted behind him to Ilirhaeya.
"And where there's garbage there's rats. We could hunt together, but that might scare them off. Splitting up could be dangerous though." Sorry for this late post. I finally managed to get an Internet connection, though I'm not sure how long it'll last.
