A few more bits and pieces of info were past along such as what sort of biomes they'd both passed through on the way here, but they did eventually run out of topics to cover, or at least, topics relevant to the tournament. So, Kat had to ask, "What now? Did you want to work together or go our separate ways?"
Souris let out a low whistle, "Well… I'm honestly not too sure about either of those options. I do somewhat want to team up but there's just too much risk on my end for you taking me out in my sleep you know? At the same time, there's the worry that if I said I'd prefer to leave you'd just snap my neck right now or something and really that could be somewhat inconvenient for me. Even if I'd heal up from it, that would be painful you know?"
"I promise to respect your choice in this," said Kat. "I can't lie about it, as I'd hope you know."
