What information do people have on the Council? Not just the people and how they operate. Their buildings, security, everything.

Useful.

Was that what you were doing in Newport?

Precisely. That, and providing a little care where the Manticore wouldn’t. He was a terrible king of cats.

[Usually, Tybalt would make sure to make the usual capitals of “King of Cats” very obvious, and this time he makes it clear that those capitals aren’t there.]

We wouldn't have thought cats would tolerate Kings very much.

You aren't the first, and probably not the last to think that, but I ask you why wouldn't they?

Mostly because cats are stubbornly independent and clearly view all of humanity as their own personal servants. Not exactly the type of animal you'd think of as a the fealty-declaring type. Rats, now, Rats have a King, but they're a very different creature.

Whatever have I done to make you think I was human? I must correct that immediately.

The supposition there is also not entirely correct. I’ll grant you the occasional cat that keeps humans to serve, but most cats are looking for a different relationship with the humans they choose to keep company with.

As for the last supposition of the bunch, even the most independent of souls enjoys a safe place to bed down when they’re resting between adventures. The Kings and Queens of cats provide that for their subjects, among other things.

We never said you were human.

[and it wasn't exactly a surprise to learn that he wasn't human...but he'd been speaking more generally there. Even so, there's a bit of a mental shrug at the end of Tybalt's explanation there]

And fair enough.

Someday, I will master a better way of transmitting levity and sarcasm mentally like this. Ah well, what is, is.

I would tell you more, but we cats do like our mystery.
