As the grip of summer lessened its choking grasp upon the world, Ticasuk had gradually broadened her hunting range. The cold would come soon enough, and an abundance of prey were required if she were to survive the worst of winter. The white bear lumbered carelessly through the forests, not the least bit concerned that her bright fluffy coat had her sticking out like a sore thumb. Bells jingled merrily every time she walked, announcing her presence no matter what she did. A curse, some might say, but Ticasuk now welcomed the challenge of hunting prey who knew she was coming. She paused underneath a particularly sturdy tree, rubbing her shoulder against it with a grunt and a cacophony of bells.
There was a clearing just up ahead, and she stepped out into the light of the sun with much squinting and blinking. She could grow hot and irritable in too much warm weather, but it was a small price to pay if it meant she found plenty to eat. The wind blew through her thick fur, and she paused to sniff the air. Her nose never led her astray. If there was something to eat nearby, she would find it.

Oh, him. The bell thief. Hana-akari. She snorted loudly at his pompousness, both amused and annoyed by his presence. "You are beneath my notice, cat." Ticasuk rumbled, planting her formidable paws in the soil just in case he decided to pounce. Hana-akari's delight was not unnoticed as the wind blew past, and she merely tilted her head in silent regard. The light still dimmed around them, but she said nothing. Why bother guessing when she knew he probably couldn't bear to keep his genius to himself? And indeed, she found herself almost... impressed by his implications once he finally got around to sharing.
"A sign of chaos to come," Her throaty growl of a voice was thoughtful. "Of shadows that can strike even when things seem brightest." Her dark eyes bore into the feline, now assessing him in a new light. This had... potential. They would need to work swiftly to spread rumors of danger brewing deep in the forests, and Ticasuk knew a mangy coyote she could threaten into assisting the cause. These lands had been peaceful for far too long, but they were only two. Ticasuk was far from being a carnal creature, and her mindset was anything but maternal; reproduction was only a means of ensuring chaos and the continuation of her legacy.
But was he worthy? She continued to look him over, rumbling deep in her throat. They would see.

Ticasuk wrinkled her muzzle to bare her sizable teeth, sneezing at Hana-akari to show what she thought of that. Still, she made no move to lash out at him... yet. "Spare me the banter and tell me your intentions, cat." If his plan was a good one, she would lend him her aid. Though she relied on her brute strength and power more often than not, Ticasuk knew the importance of cunning. If the catshifter was clever enough to truly plant seeds of chaos, it would raise his potential value. Her thick claws dug into the soil a few times as she mulled things over before the white bear relaxed her stance.
While a fight would be satisfying, the thought of spreading discord was infinitely more so. Even to the point where she would ignore her solitary nature and work together with others. Then again, Ticasuk expected a large pay off at the end of this little stunt, and if she didn't get one... well, then everybody would be in her sights as a potential victim.
