[ having stopped when the beast stopped, the cat sits and observes its distress with mild amusement. Did it really not consider what would happen if it managed to reach a door leading to the rest of the aquarium? Or was it that desperate to escape that it could think of nothing else? Poor thing. The sense of nostalgia returns. Blood, wet earth... the only scent missing now from back then is that of a pleasant, uncaring rain.
Well, maybe the two instances aren't comparable. None of that girl's glances ever made his hackles raise like this one, even if it's just by a little. Then again, this is a predator by all appearances, however sorry it looks right now. Should he really be surprised?
His fur settles again when it sinks to the floor and groans. Ah, poor thing. There's really no reason for him to worry. Plus, the way it's acting all but confirms to him that it isn't a demon. No matter how much fondness it may hold for a certain form, no demon would allow itself to become trapped like this—himself included. To escape from anything, a demon merely has to discard their previous body and become incorporeal again, as uncaged as air or light or shadows. Nothing further is needed. Certainly not blood.
He cocks his head, considering. After all, he's still hungry. While this isn't a human, he might be able to use it like it is. ]
