[Ken gets indignant over a lot of things, most of them trivial. Chikusa may have to give her a crash course in learning when Ken is genuinely upset, and when he's simply making offended noises with his mouth.
In either case, he looks downright bemused when she skitters over to him for protection.] It's just a cat, byon -
[But then the shadows shift, and Ken immediately bristles. A lifetime of being hunted - to say nothing of his animal instincts - have given him an incredibly fine-tuned sixth sense when it comes to danger. The cat was nothing, but now he senses a genuine threat.
He promptly snaps in a cartridge, fangs lengthening and hair turning reddish as he goes into Lion Channel. Slit, angry pupils scan the darkness as he growls, shifting almost instinctively into a defensive position in front of Sakura. He's acted as the first, most intimidating line of defense for more people than just her, and even if he doesn't remember most of those instances, his body does. Instinct operates on a completely separate level from concrete memory.]
