((Midnight the Great Black Cat played by Emma))
Being able to see in the dark, if only slightly better than his prey, gave Midnight a distinct advantage that he used very well. Xanth may be enjoying their shenanigans, but as Portal Guardian (and self-assigned overall Temple Guardian), it was Midnight's job to protect his home from even the slightest threat - and that included cheesecake. There was no telling what kind of damage this pair could do with even a small amount, so removing the cake from their sticky fingers was his first priority.
That in mind, he'd pounced, large paws flying with the full intent of knocking the female to the floor and swiping the cake she held away from her. If he'd known the mess they'd already caused in his beloved Xanth's throne room, he would have set to with his claws out instead of taking the soft approach, and not stopped until he was satisfied they wouldn't be making a mess here ever again. Yes, when it came to protecting his home and carrying out his duty, Midnight was deadly serious.
However, the woman evaded his attack, though he was glad to see her lose that nasty mess they called cheesecake. Having her make the mess here was much better than some of the other rooms in the temple.
Yowling as he turned to launch himself at the Zanaryn this time, he flinched away as the room lit up, his eyes taking a moment to adjust. Instead of attacking, he stalked slowly around them, his body low to the ground and his steps cautious and silent as he eyed them for an opening.
