``As if I needed to'', Katt mumbled sulkily. ``As if I needed to'', Katt mumbled sulkily.
The minotaur laughed good-naturedly.
``I know how sharp your hearing is.
But the same doesn't go for your sister.
Instead she is much more curious.
You heard what we said?''
Katt nodded.
``Then remember it'', Bull continued.
``And pay good attention to your friend.
If he does something that hurts the tribe,
you'll be responsible for it.''
Andrew tried to imagine what it would be like to hold a really long conversation with the bull-headed giant,
much less an argument.
It probably made people go insane waiting on someone who took fifteen minutes for each sentence.
``We'll be back this evening and will speak to your friend'', he continued.
``Make sure that he is rested up until then,
because we have a lot of questions for him.
And find something for him to do.
He needs to work if he wants to eat.''
With that he left.
Liz followed him and lastly Rex too,
but not without a final menacing growl in Andrew's direction.
Katt gave him and angry look and Ratt stuck her tongue out at the dog man
--- however only after they had left and the curtain had closed so she could be sure he didn't see her.
``So those are your leaders?'', asked Andrew.
``Leaders?''
``Your eldest'', Andrew corrected himself.
``Those who have the say around here.''
Katt needed a couple ticks to understand what he meant.
Then much to Andrew's surprise she shook her head.
``We don't have any leaders'', she said.
``It didn't sound like that just now''
``Bull and the others are the oldest'', Katt said completely uncomprehendingly.
``Bull is very smart.
He tells us what the best for all of is,
but he would never order us to do anything.''
``You all do what he tells you because you know that its the best thing for you'', Andrew assured himself.
``Yes'', answered Katt.
``Anything else would be dumb, right?''
``Sure'', sighed Andrew.
He suddenly didn't have any motivation to continue \textit{this} conversation.
Somehow it demoralized him.
Instead he made a movement towards the door with his head.
``Can I leave the house or am I under house arrest?''
``You can do what you want'', answered Katt.
But Andrew hadn't forgotten what the Minotaur had said.
Of course he wouldn't do anything that would get Katt into trouble.
``Can you show me around?'', he requested.
``I just don't want to get lost.''
Katt gave him a quick thankful look.
She had understood.
Nevertheless she hesitated and only nodded after a considerable while.
Andrew had the feeling that he had done something wrong again,
but for the life of him he couldn't figure out what.
Katt didn't make any efforts to explain anything.
Without a word she turned around and left the building.

Even if it wasn't by much,
the part of the city that Katt and her tribe lived in was different than the part where he had met the cat girl and ran for his life.
