When Kincaid was ignored by the cat, he fell into uneasy silence, still quite clueless about what it could possible want with them. The queen arrived to begin negotiations, and Kincaid's eye twitched when he realized that the wolves here had taken in a mountain lion kit — why?

Then he nearly jumped out of his skin when another lion appeared; he found himself simultaneously relieved and horrified to have Eleuthera away from the scene, and then she materialized by his side as if produced by his own imagination. Was this another bizarre nightmare? Now all he needed was for Nine Lives to show up, guns blazing.

He had nothing to say and there was nothing he could do. He shifted so that he could try to keep both cats in sight and hoped that it wouldn't come to a fight.
