[ Cato made a scoffing noise, a little gruff and low but still recognizable. He wasn't annoyed by the comment about their apparent purpose, more than anything it was a little funny to him.

[ The wolf man's shoulders relaxed a bit, and he turned his head to look on the crowd again and their strange courtship rituals he did not yet grasp. They were smaller and strange, but Cato couldn't find the idea revolting. Perhaps something was wrong about that, but he couldn't quite get a grip on the thought and cast it aside. The air was warm with smells that weren't so unfamiliar and something old twitched within him in sympathy.

[ He looked back to the stranger, wagging his tail just a little and watching for a reaction. He was pleased with his comparison, he thought it was elegant. ]
