This was like, probably the worst place he could possibly go if he gave even the slightest shit about his fur. He stood out like a sore thumb, white fur was such a disadvantage but it was already turning brown thanks to the mud. Great. But he wasn't interesting in sneaking about, and he was an awesome hunter, so food wasn't exactly a big worry.
Still, why did he come here?...
Seemed like a good idea at the time.
There were so many wolf packs about, he had to admit, he chose one at random. Did he look like the kind of guy to do his research first? Nope, especially when it came to wolves, as crazy as they were. He found himself coming up to the borders of El Dorado, at least thats what he thought it was called. Something like that, rumours that spread about never really interested him. They were like pirates or something.
Sounded like fun.
Standing at the edge, making sure not to cross the borders [cause wolves were so picky about that jeez], the white tiger stood at full height and let out a roar.
Come find me, wolfies~

There was something about Theta that most liked to call... insane. Perhaps he was. Touched with the vines of something that was all twisted and dirty. Or then again perhaps he wasn't. Did overwhelming fear lead to the title of insane? It was hard to say, really. It depended who you were asking. If you asked the boy himself you were only likely to get a serious headtilt and a funny look before he yelled something about demons at you and wandered off. It all depended. The variables were many. Thus when he was met with something he'd never seen before the expected reactions were also many.
Maybe he'd lash out at the large feline. Run away. Hide. Insult until it fucked off. He did none of these. Instead he stood there with his head cocked and a look of pure confusion on his face. He'd never seen a feline before, never been hurt by one. Thus the general title he gave to canines wasn't offered here. He opened and closed his mouth a few times, huffing to himself and swaying on his feet slightly as if possessed. If he was meant to ~accept~ it he didn't know. He wouldn't ask for a name. Didn't care enough to do so. Instead he just growled softly and sat, unsure of what else to do.
"Not..." Not what? Wolf? No, that was clear, he knew that. "What...?"' What are you?' The words never came. Too uncertain and confused about how and what to ask. He just kind of shrugged awkwardly and fixed his eyes on the strange creature. "Monster? No demon... What?" The articulation was painful at best, painful to understand. Still, maybe Behko would gain some sort of vague meaning from the words. It wasn't impossible really, not if you knew what you were looking for. Despite the confusion there was still not trust body tense and quivering through it all, everything was white and so unlike No Eyes' black. The colour had become a comfort. The garish swamp monster a guardian. this feline was the opposite, and whilst surly not a demon still maybe a threat.
The world was full of them, was this perhaps just a new one?

And it wasn't long before a wolf appeared, looking...scared? Maybe, Behko didn't really know why.
"Not...What...? Monster? No demon... What?"
Aw shit man he was freaking out. Behko lifted a front paw, and put it out in front of him, like he was motioning for the wolf to stop. "Whoa man. Chill. I aint no monster, I'm a tiger." He was unsure if that would help at all. "I aint gonna hurt you, yeah? Just gotta chill out." He almost felt sorry for it.
"My name's Behko, whats yours?" Lets just have a friendly little conversation. And also because he didn't want to be called 'demon' or 'monster' anymore. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but bad names hurt okay. "I'm looking for a new home. Been sitting in the forest most of my life, it's...pretty boring." Climbing the trees and scaring the birds were pretty fun though. And that was pretty much all the excitement you could get.
"This is El Dorado, right? Or something like that." Maybe he should shut up now, talking a lot probably wouldn't help the situation too much.

The fuck was he talking about the weather for? His head tilted further. "Cold?" Slang was not something he understood. Big words were not something he understood. To be honest letting the local crazy greet someone new was just... the worst idea ever. It left him on tenterhooks whilst the other would probably end up confused or pissed off. Maybe bother. Righting his position he flicked ears, listening and weighing up his options. He had no idea what a tiger was, but he knew it wasn't a wolf. Too big. Smelled wrong. Just not the same. The statement that he wasn't going to hurt the boy... helped. Sort of. At least enough that he wasn't quite so ready to freak out. Good job kitty cat.
"My name's Behko, whats yours? I'm looking for a new home. Been sitting in the forest most of my life, it's...pretty boring."
Name...? He'd almost forgotten. No one ever asked anymore. Mara hadn't. Rita hadn't. The bastards in Asylum had tried to drag it out of him but he'd refused. "Ever," he drawled. A lie through and through, but Behko would be none the wiser. He didn't need to know his real name. Could possibly use it against him. Ever was simply the first word that came to mind, one that was totally unsuitable for a name but he didn't know. Wouldn't have cared if he did. His attention though was thoroughly taken with the mention of 'home'. That he knew. That was a concept he understood even through his fractured mind. "This.... home." The words would more than likely be taken as an invite to stay, and offer. They weren't really, but it didn't matter. Theta didn't much care if the tiger wandered into the land. At least this way he could say he had an invite~
"This is El Dorado, right? Or something like that."
He was sure looked-like-a-demon-but-wasn't had mentioned the name or something like that. He just shrugged though and instead took to quietly watching the other. Maybe a tad disconcerting, but at least his expression was black. There was no creepy leering or foaming at the mouth, just a scarred boy watching a strange creature in something close to curiosity. He'd stand then, slinking closer with ears flat. Body slung low to the ground as he'd sort of awkwardly walk/slide himself closer only to stop a short distance away. Nostrils flared and he looked up at the other, rocking back on hind legs more than ready to leap away if he moved. Just needed a firsthand view of 'Tiger'~
