The young willing kept staring at Opal with a terrified look. She had no clue what the object in her captors paw was, but it was a fur-thingy and none of them was good, ever, her parents had told her many stories to warn her. Warily she observed how Opal placed her paw on the door of the cage and listened. Of course, she did understand that vile creature and her eyes darted around a moment, looking for a way out of the den, but she did not know what of all the many things could be the exit, what she had to do. A trained wildling or even bred and raised human would have known what a door is, but they would seldom think about fleeing but Tamiko was more than intelligent enough to know she had no way out for now and it might be better to watch and learn what that fur was doing.
"I... understand." she answered, waiting for the cage to open, ready to learn and crawl out of her prison once allowed. Yes, Tamiko was frightened by that towering tigress, but she would never be able to flee if she stood in the cage.
