In a tree not so far away from a natural looking cave entrance sat a clouded leopard with red eyes. He was watching the men below as they carried in a bundle of cloth.
Red used his claws to dig into the branch under him as he anxiously decided what to do. After a giant fire inside the human city made all the residents spill out of the estate, he had remained watchful from the shadows.
The elf was useful in that he brought his mother out of the danger, but Red had found it difficult to follow them into the much larger stone structure. He could probably do it with the minimum of people seeing him, but the elf had warned him about showing himself to humans.
In order to not make trouble for his mother he had watched from afar. He could track his mother through the windows of the stone structure and he was excited when she reached a garden area.
