Not in this group. Not in this place. Then where? Where was The Typhoon? The fur on the back of Raymond's neck started to stand up in annoyance. Not at Solsken, but at himself. Green eyes staggered between the animals watching him, carefully contemplating what to do next. At the mention of harboring him, the panther stopped though. His gaze aligned with the trans-masculine figure and paused. Until he could find his father, that seemed doable. Perhaps this dreaded swamp with their vast library would do him some good, rather than endlessly hunting the mainland. After all, this stranger appeared to know what The Typhoon was. Maybe Tanglewood could guide Raymond to Sorbet.
As another approached, his ears pinned back. "I don't have friends," he stated back at Lanyu. He desperately wished for that to change, no matter how much he wouldn't admit that publicly. In an effort to make that change, he offered an introduction kindly. "My name is Raymond. I come from the neutral lands with no alliance to any man or clan." They did not need any information past that. At least he thought so. For a boy kept in the dark for so long, he had only a fragile past. He did not wish to discuss his upbringing.
At Aesior's announcement, the head of the panther whipped around. Between the luminary's comment and the other's comment, he could see that Tanglewood was not in a good position with The Typhoon. Even so, he smelled nothing of their salty seas, only the salt of the dead. Covered in the dried blood of his father, the big cat held no fear for their petty war. In fact, it may just help him. "I wear the blood of another. My blood makes no difference," he shot back at Aesior. A devilish smirk was beginning to curl onto his maw.
Claws left the wooden floors of the library and went back into their sheaths. Raymond appeared pleased with the direction this was going, especially since he had found where to find his father, noted by his smile. "Sorbet Floki is the man who tried to end my life." Not 'father,' 'dad,' or 'parent.' Only a man who failed to do their job. "I only want to talk with him." His eyes were unwavering as they stared at the leader. Green orbs were full of passion, but had a tinge of deviousness to them. "Could you lead me to him? If so, I would provide service to your group in return." Raymond turned on his paws and walked over to the other, coming face to face with Aesior. A paw rose up from the ground, offering it out for a shake. "Do we have a deal?"
