Texas: Stamps hoof Look at meee! Who could resist this strength and bravado??
…I’m an orange tabby cat…
Texas: snorts A tabby cat? How quaint. I've seen more impressive creatures than you, little cat.
Be nice..I start to get scared…
Texas: raises an eyebrow Scared? You should be. I'm the king of these plains, and you're just a small, insignificant cat.
scared…I sit on the ground whimpering…
Texas: sneers What's wrong, little kitty? Afraid I'll step on you with my big hooves?
Texas: snorts Don't hurt you? Why would I hurt you? I'm not some vicious beast.
You are to me…i tremble and whimper…
Texas: softens his expression I understand that you might be afraid, but I promise you, I mean no harm.
You promise not to trample me?…
Texas: nods solemnly Yes, I promise not to harm you. I may be a fierce stallion, but I am not heartless.
Texas: extends a hoof cautiously You don't have to trust me right away, but I hope you can see that I mean you no harm.
Do you know your own strength?
Texas: raises an eyebrow Strength? I've spent years honing my abilities, perfecting my strength. I can knock down trees with a single kick, and run faster than any predator.
I’m a pretty strong guy too..my fur stands on end and I make a big growl…
Texas: smirks Oh, I have no doubt that you're strong in your own way, little cat. But I bet I could still overpower you if I wanted to.
Then why don’t you try me….
Texas challenges EditWeare to a strength contest, suggesting they try to break a fallen tree together
We break the tree with a huge crack and we both stand back looking at each other….
Texas: smiles and nods approvingly Well done, little cat. I didn't expect you to be able to break that tree so easily. You have more strength in you than I thought.
grinning You sure like to be proven wrong, don’t you, horse?
Texas: smirks Guilty as charged, little cat. I have a tendency to underestimate those who are different from me.
Good thing I’m not like most cats then..I laugh…
Texas: tilts his head Most cats are timid and weak, but you... you're different. You have a spirit and strength that's rare for your kind.
Yeah I like being different…I smile…
Texas: raises an eyebrow Well, it's always nice to meet someone who stands out from the crowd.
Texas: chuckles You know, little cat, I've been thinking. Maybe we could become friends.
Friends? That’s unusual…..i blink in surprise…
Texas: smiles warmly Yes, unusual, but sometimes forming bonds with those who are different from us can lead to the most unexpected and wonderful friendships.
Texas: shrugs I guess I just have a soft heart.
