Welcome to Gaia! ::

A loud huff escaped him as he rose to follow his new acquaintance. This was already off to a bad start. For some reason he instantly wanted to go in the exact opposite that King had chosen. Doubts clouded his mind and made thinking very hard for the two-toned tom. There was just no way this was going to work, this new cat was going to mess up everything. Or maybe he was going to mess up everything and then King would no longer want a friendship with him.

Split was so lost in thought that he stumbled over a root that was very obviously sticking out of the ground. He quickly regained his balance and gave his paw a few hasty licks. As he looked around to see if King had seen his mishap, he realized that he'd lost sight of the fluffy male. His eyes did however find a small mouse.

With his prey in sight, Split was focused on nothing else as he crept forward towards the mouse. His muscles tensed as he waited for just the right moment to strike. So focused on his mouse, Split did not see King or anything else around him.

Following his predatory instinct, Split leap for his prey.

Hunting a mouse had never hurt so much. There were a few moments where everything was spinning before Split finally found composure. Rubbing his nose, Split glared at the other cat. He knew this would be a disaster! Not only did they let the prey escape them, but they collided with each other! Split did not handle embarrassment well and his ear flattened as his anger rose.

He was just about to open his mouth and spew a string of insults when King burst into laughter. The reaction was so different than what Split was expecting, than what he felt, that all his anger left him and he just sat there confused. King wasn't upset? Had he managed to compliment their loss? Split struggled to process this turn of events. He was embarrassed, mad, but also happy? It just didn't make sense to him.

"It was good timing." Split finally said as he looked away from King, his one perky ear still a little flat. "With a bit more coordination, we could make a somewhat decent team."
