With no warning whatsoever, a small, fluffy black and gold cat dashes into the cave.

Crow stood in a defensive stance before realizing it was just a cat. "Seems we are just magnets for the unusual right now. Come here kitty." The man said holding a hand out to the cat.

She simply turns and meows at the entrance to the cave. A familiar, annoyed looking sphinx makes her way out of the brush.

"We'll look who it is. What brings you this way?"

Neko gives the sleek cat an incredulous look, who simply begins licking her paw. There's a strange sense of familiarity about her- like seeing a person who you know you know, but aren't quite sure why you know them.

"I'm sorry but can we help you?"

The cat glances up at him with her strange, golden eyes. Then she speaks. "Family is important. She may not like it, but a group is much safer than being alone."

"Are you talking about Neko? Do you know where she is?"

"I'm right here!" Neko snaps, glaring. The cat gives the sphinx a mildly annoyed look.

Crow pretends to be shocked. "Neko! How nice of you to join us. Are you here to participate in the mission this time or did you come to make us all feel bad again?"
