accustomed to the natural behavior of felinoids. These felinids have been

The pair went into the listening room, where there was sure to be a crowd,
and took places to listen in on the ensuing conversation among the prisoners.
The other prisioners were eating together when Horrrtha rejoined them. The guards had
let him get his initial frustraion out of his system before taking him for his morning
meal. There was much conversation, and it quickly got heated. Horrrtha had repeated
almost everything that the interrogation duo had said, word for word. It inflamed
almost everyone there. Some believed what he was saying, while others disagreed.
Those that believed Horrrtha were calling the General a traitor, and calling for his
execution. The others believed that the interrogators had fabricated it all, and were
trying to turn them all against each other.
