Li Lianhua blathers, and Cat's attention wavers, as much as he'd like to absorb what's being said to him, even if the tone suggests that it's not something worth attention. A lot of things he said sounded that way. Cat's eyelids droop a little while his mind both drifts and recoils from the examination he's under. What does it matter what got him, when it's thirst that will get him now?
"Some wolf..." he rasps as he reluctantly forces his parched throat and rattled brain into submission. Of course it was important, because like hell he's going quietly into the night. No, he's going to bitch about it the whole way through, even if most of his grousing is done mentally. Cat watches the fox with a discontented look, almost like he's more annoyed than anything, over all this. "Bigger than the others. Could've made me a snack real easy, all those teeth in there."
He doesn't know why it let him get away, except for the fact that he told it to. A monster like that listening is more unbelievable than either himself or the man next to him crawling back out from under this porch anytime soon.
Yet it happened.
...A feline growl in his throat, Cat drags himself forward a little, though he neither makes it to that barest trickle of water taunting him or to Li Lianhua in his effort.
