Antisocial in nature, the small wildcat preferred avoiding impromptu gatherings when he could. Midas' manner of speech particularly dissuaded him, brows creasing as he settled besides Keona and Goldie.
He was barely a head taller than Keona himself; kodkods and rusty spotted cats were both very small species of wildcat. It was not a matter he considered often however -- accustomed to both his and Keona's petite statures, and rarely found judgement among their crewmates on the matter.
Consequently, the melanistic feline could not help but frown. "It's not a defect --" his tail lashed once to the side, voice a tad sharper than he often spoke with. "Keona's a rusty spotted cat; they're small."
Salem breathed out slowly, ears flicking back as he fumbled through a strange mixture of ire and sheepishness -- anger did not come naturally to him. "I'm Salem," he offered in quieter tone, the vines tightening around his legs uncomfortably. "Do you want to be a Blackjack Rat like your father, Midas?"
