"...Off?" Xanthus made a very human sigh, and stepped off of the humanoid. Almost the instant it stepped off, a movement in the water caught it eye, and it splashed through it, coming up with a small, bloody fish-like creature... Though it had a few legs.
"Talker hungry? Talker used to know often hungry." It sounded happy, and didn't seem to care to take notice whether or not the talker was paying attention... Or that it had just splashed more water onto the talker he had tackled.
A movement caught its attention, and it turned its head to see a creature larger than it, moving towards the two other talkers. In its memory, larger creatures usually tried to eat it... Though this one wasn't significantly larger. Even so, Xanthus stood tall, maned fur sticking up like a mohawk. It growled a little, showing its long, interlocking teeth... Fish-creature still stuck in it.
However, it relaxed when the creature licked the talkers. Maybe it would eat one of the talkers and go away? Then Xanthus could have fun with the other two! The end of its tail flicked back and forth in a cat-like gesture.
