[Funnily enough this isn't the first time he's gone looking for a beast person with yellow eyes hiding in a tree.
He does not approach her directly or try to talk to her though. Once he sees the general area where she is, he'll cast a glance at her to acknowledge that he sees her, then take a seat at the base of one of the trees. Ylfa isn't a cat but he gets the feeling that the cat-logic of "let them get comfortable with your presence first and approach you" works here too.]
[He give it a minute or two, but then he pulls a hotdog- bun and all- out of his kimono sleeves and sets it down on the ground a couple feet away from him. It's fresh from the food truck that morning too.]
[Instead of answering her question, he'll tell a story.]
One of the employees at the Agency is a weretiger. When something particularly upsetting happens, he often hides in difficult to reach places, up in trees or under tables. No matter how much someone might worry about him, they can't just force him out of his hiding spot. They just have to wait for him to come out on his own.
Sometimes it's a very long wait. But other times, it just takes sitting nearby and waiting to see if he wants to sit with someone else and talk, or not talk and just sit in silence.
[He's telling her this story because he worries about her but is too emotionally dumb to just say that directly.]

But yes, you two are similar.
