[Tsume had been shoved in a cage by the pirates when he'd gotten on board, too tired and worn out from swimming to fight them much. They'd talked about chopping the wolf up for stew, claiming he was too wild to drain the blood from.
He'd gotten enough strength to cloak himself in his human illusion. While he'd been actively trying to get out of the cage, he quieted when he saw the human manage to turn the tables on his captors. Most impressive for a fat balding man. Tsume figures it's best not to underestimate this one.
He's up against the edge of the cage, his hands grasping the bars. He's dressed curiously, all in leather like some teenage stripper or something, and covered in scars. The most prominent one is the X-shaped scar on his chest. He just stares at Tony with wariness in his strange golden eyes.]
I'd be happy to help but you've got to let me out first.
[ Tony's attention is grounded back to the rest of the ship, and he notices the body pressed up to the bars in a cage. It was just the right size for an animal and just too cramped for a human. For some reason, Tony's hindbrain saw golden eyes and thought their would-be captors were too stupid to torture a man like this. ]
Sure, [ Tony said as he moved to inspect the lock before grabbing a loose ship's nail to pry it apart.. ] They got the rest of the Village People in there?
[He says in a puzzled tone. Sorry, Tony, most pop culture references don't exist in Tsume's time period anymore. Tsume waits with uncharacteristic impatience for the large man to open up his cage. He's wary of humans at the best of times and this is far from the best of times. Any human who could brutally kill someone the way he'd dealt with those pirates need to be carefully watched.
When the lock is broken, Tsume immediately bursts out of the cage and puts some distance between it and himself. He's never had anything but bad experiences with cages, this one included.]
[ Tony chuckles in a way that had an undertone of being annoyed. Words misunderstood, references lost, and not explicitly being thanked. He grits his teeth hard enough to grind his molars into his jaw to curb a reaction.
And then he breaks out and Tony steps back on instinct. ]
Hey, hey--!
[ Tony grips his bat and thrusts it like a sword outward. ]
