amber ♠ 02

I really have to wonder at how quickly we're destroying this place.

[ Archer announces himself over the amber with that casual and dire remark. His tone is bored. ]

First of all, we've upset the balance of nature by killing a predator and allowing defenseless prey animals to multiply unchecked. Those rabbits will probably suffer once they meet the cruel reality of life beyond this tree, you know.

And now we've nearly destroyed the tree itself with our meddling. Isn't that impressive?

[ Now his voice is just dripping sarcasm. ]

Well done, everyone. Whoever brought us all here should really have expected these results. It's exactly what human beings do, after all.

Have you noticed? You talk, though most cats don't.

[Kit shrugs.]

All the cats where I'm from can talk.

[Well, except for really young cubs, but they're excused due to being babies.]

Maybe they cats where you're from just aren't very smart.

[steelmyself]

That's true, but humans where I'm from aren't very smart either.

[ He speaks plainly and without apology. ]

[alley_kit]

Yeah... Some people can sure act that way at least.

Course, everybody does dumb things sometimes. Even you, I bet.
