Darkhunter glanced over his muscled shoulder while his whiskers twitched and his face wrinkled and morphed in a scowl... it probably looked a little silly. He pawed at the screen before he gave up and sat down with his head turned to face Ib, "I'm sorry, but I do not know your past, Ib. I saw your painting, but... I am not sure what to make of it without context. I saw the high points of my life in my pictures... yours... I am not so sure." A small paused to collect his breath, "You are most likely right. From what I managed to see earlier before my head was decimated by the light, this is no accident. I feel as if I am being played with..." he muttered something about that being ironic, then he gave a little sigh as his legs and body worked in conjunction to put him on his feet. 

Darkhunter started to sniff along the stage with his ears laid back along his head. His tail stuck up in the air and did a little serpentine dance as his paws fell silently onto the wood, and he kept using his nose to try to find something. He paced the stage but saw nothing and smelled nothing. Just a lot of nothing. The big feline stopped and looked about from where he had started as if he was trying to find something but gave up with a look to the young girl. Darkhunter asked, "Have any guesses on this puzzle? I am not overly fond of here, wherever or whatever here is." 

This was an understatement. All of his senses hated this. The lack of greenery was very unsettling, with not a single tree trunk or fern in sight. The empty void where birdsong, animals calls, and the constant, gentle song of the jungle once had been made him shifty and uneasy. His eyes still had issues with the unnatural light with focus problems and a washed-out view. The hard, strangely shiny wood under him made him walk funny and kept setting off alarms in his head. [i]Where's the grass? Where's the cool water? Where's the dirt?[/i] That was all he heard. The smell was even worse. Nothing was right about it. It was... sharp, too sharp. Even his tongue was dry and felt strange. He was a tough hunter, though, and he kept those down as usual.
