Gar had intended to just stay in his tiger form to do his best to try another fruitless escape because that's what the tiger wanted to do and it's instinct was to do what it wanted regardless.

But hearing someone speak English, Gar pauses. There's a lower sound and then he's transforming back, pushed back into the corner staring at the being that's clearly in charge.

Please send me home, he wanted to say but he bit his tongue, quite literally to stop the words. They weren't going to send him home...would they be like Cadmus, though? Experimenting on him and making him do horrible things or would they just kill him?

"What do you want?" Because really he's tired of being talked about like he's an appliance being bought.
