He blinked.
"Elsewhere?" The tom echoed, a sort of confused smile on his face.
"Where other than the nursery do you expect to find me? I'm not plannin' on going anywhere, if that's what you're asking." Raising his brows at the other for just a moment, he soon gave up looking suspiciously at the small white cat interrogating him and busied himself instead with the bramble that accompanied her.
"You better not be plotting anything. I'll scream bloody murder, and they say it's shrill as anything." Timber couldn't help but joke after a moment, while Vampire did attack him when they first met, he didn't want that to be a constant expectation of their interactions.
Pinning his ears back in concentration, the tom ever so carefully leaned down and locked his teeth around the briar. He kept his head pushed far away from his wild coat, his lips drawn back in some strange snarl to prevent the woody spines pricking the soft flesh. He looked rather silly doing it, really, though this was hardly a worry for him as he dragged the prickly stem across the den and dropped it in the small pile he had been working from when Vampire had walked in.
He looked up after this, expecting the cat to have wandered off—but was rather surprised to see them following him further in, taking high steps around the moss he had carefully selected and cleaned for the bedding.
"It won't bite, you know. It's just moss." He remarked with smirk, raising a singular furry eyebrow at the antics of the other.
"You fallen into a bog yet? It'll happen, just you wait. It's like initiation for this place." He looked pointedly at the others pale fur, a playful grin widening on his face.
"I used to be all white too, 'till I got here."
At his next words, though, his face fell considerably.
"Well, I sure hope there's nobody out here that would like to attack them." Timber mused, turning back to the slowly forming wall of the den and taking the end of a long strand of foliage in his teeth.
"Didn' see nothin' m'self-" He thought aloud, speaking through a half-closed maw as he began to weave the bramble into the wall with a wrinkled nose, already sore from being nestled between prickly plants for far too long.
