ISLA
Now you do, Isla thinks regarding Ancients and their shifts, stretching out lithe, powerful limbs and resisting the urge to flump down and roll in the grass and the earth for no other reason than because it's there. Sunjata's comment is enough to keep her focus for now, at least, the tigress huffing out the feline equivalent of a laugh, her whiskers twitching.
Before she knows it, though, the Flood is clad in black velvet fur and equipped with fangs and claws not unlike her own. And when he bolts off down the path, instinct snatches the reins from Isla's hands, and she's off after him. Any passing strangers would likely run the other direction to see two big cats engaged in an intense game of chase, but luckily Isla thinks they're alone out here.
So when she catches up to Sunjata enough to bat at his tail, she does so without any care for consequences, even if it means spooking their potential prey.
