Bounty hunter. Former mercenary. The question Tikki asks herself is what a two-leg like that would want with her cub? Did someone offer him a bounty for her cub? That seems unlikely. Tikki doubts that anyone but her and the cub’s sire even knew the cub existed. Could this be some enemy’s way of taking revenge against her? She feels forced to acknowledge the possibility, but she’s not comfortable with it. Anyone wanting revenge should have just ordered her killed.
