Cat got your tongue?

It's alright! c:

In took him a few more seconds than what he desired to set his optics on the cougar, but when he did, he did move them away. He watched the beast, even as it sat and called out. When the cat's voice reached his ears, Kove nearly had to go over and check to make sure the words belonged to the same creature he was watching. The large cat, the one that could most likely kill a wolf with a single blow, had not a strong and confident voice, but a shaky one. It was odd enough to make him temporarily lay his thoughts on the animal's to rest, even if it was only so he could bring himself to approach it without harboring the desire to attack. The urge was still in the back of his mind, the same one that had been there since he was younger, but he worked to ignore it.

Slowly, the ghost of a wolf drew closer to the golden-eyed cougar. Having heard his earlier words, the man decided to respond once he'd stopped in his steps, now standing only a minimal amount of lengths from the other predator. "Can a creature such as yourself truly come in peace?" His voice was not shaky, as the other's had been, but also held no indications as to what was running through the wolf's mind.
