The distant sound of hooves clippity-clopping on sidewalk was accompanied by a strange clacking.
Slaughter's ears shivered before swiveling to follow the sound raptly. His nose lifted up and began to scent the air blindly. Lips peeled back exposing sharp jagged teeth almost too big for his narrow rat-like mouth. He yawned, long white whiskers fanning out as teeth became even more apparent. Ah. He knew that smell.
His tail loosened it's grip from the branch he was laying belly down upon and he finally cracked open an eye. Blearily but curiously as it sounded as though Zar was not alone. Jackin-wuh. Didn't look like Zar.
His nostrils flared wildly as his other eye joined the first in staring at the strange passerby.
He pondered if Zar had a brother.... a twin brother? A twin smelling brother? Is that even a jacking thing?
"Uh-hm," he cleared his throat, deciding it was best to play it safe and stay up there until he was certain.

Zar had unfortunately eaten quite a substantial number of the rats in the basement of the castle and at times the population had to be topped up, as did the population of his demon goats. Restocking these particular species was the name of the game for his visit to town that day and as he sauntered along the sidewalk he carried two large saddlebags slung across his back and secured at his underbelly. Oddly, he was rather rounder than usual, possibly down to being well fed, possibly down to any number of other factors and as he went it was with his long tail held fussily off of the ground, his talons clicking.
He spotted Slaughter's heat signature before he heard the other boil and paused, stopping absolutely dead in his tracks, only the squirming bags providing any movement at all. He flicked his tongue, once and then again.
"I know you are there." he said.

"Well, I know you are there too," Slaw replied while sliding back on the branch that supported him, into the y-shaped crevice between branch and tree. Feet grasping the rough bark covered surface while his tail curled up over his back to coil around a separate branch entirely. He slowly shifted from one leg to the other, clearly trying to decide his options.
"You look new," he tested the boil cautiously, as if he was a frozen lake that could crack when being crossed.

Zar eyed Slaw intently for a time, tail twitching thoughtfully at his heels.
"You are Slaw." he said matter-of-factly. "I am Zar, from critter. This is my normal shape."

The intense stare suddenly dropped from Slaw's face. "Oh," he quickly and efficiently smoothed out his bristling fur with his hands. "Ah could hardly recognize ya," he admitted with a guilty tone. His tail released the branch above him and he turned to a hug the tree and slid down the trunk while using his tail to help him carefully maneuver around any branches in the way by gently pushing off of them. He hit the ground and dusted himself off.
He turned to Zar, who... was a lot bigger now that he saw him up close. "Woah," he gawked.
He started to walk around Zar curiously, tail scraping against concrete as it dragged behind him. "Certainly terrifying," he nodded with approval.
