Amber eyes opened, as she listened to the squirrels hurl their insults at the intruding threat. It was very well for them this form was far too heavy for the branches they preferred. Ayita wasn't aboving giving them a good scare by biting a few tails. Heaving her tiger self to her feet- paws, she corrected herself. The young mutant frowned at the book and discarded shoes. Nosing both towards the satchel, it took her a bit to work the book and sandals in their proper place. More than once, she mistakenly used claws instead of simply gripping. Flexing a paw several times she worked the claws in and out of their sheaths. Wondering in the strength she felt in the corded muscle under her fur. Lean due to youth she had yet to reach her full growth, but still she was close to the size of a adult. Chuckling, it came out as a chuff, she picked up the bag in her fangs.

Trotting back towards the manor, she chuffed her laugh as she leap over a bench easily. Her legs stumbled every so often, and Ayita stepped on her own tail much to her dismay. Prowling through the manor, she was keen to stay out of sight of others. Lest they panic at the fact a tiger was roaming about. Mutants or no, she wasn't keen on being shrieked at. Her nose twitched at a different scent, and a well spoken voice. Spotting 'Hive' and a unfamiliar face enter a room, Ayita decided to poke her striped nose into things. Moving with a hunter's grace she moved to pause just behind the unfamiliar youth. Listening to Hive quiz him about his powers. He must be new, if he was so unknown. Giving a grumbling growling at this new development, but gave a louder one that was a tad more pointed to warn this youth to not back up. Lest he trip and fall on her.
