Marquis held Tai tight against his body, enjoying the warmth the pather/tiger hybrid provided. As Tai rested against him, eyes closed and an expression of peace and happiness, Marquis couldn't help but grin.

"Finally!" Marquis thought. " for months i studied my prey. I learned his name, date of birth, favorite colors, hobbies, everything! I planned it all down to the smallest detail and never gave up. Now my prey is in my arms at last and i will never let him go. I am truely the greatest hunter in the world! I am""

Tai stirred and looked up at Marquis, who seemed to be staring off into space with a determined grin.

" What are you thinking about Marquis?"

Marquis's jaw immediately dropped as he was snapped out of his narrative. He looked down at Tai nervously, then composed himself.

" N...nothing, just where we are going for dinner!"
