[Daryl's eyes shot up to hers. He was used to keeping quiet on what he was in public. But this wasn't exactly public in the traditional sense. It was a venue for people like him to meet others like him. Shifter or not.
His instinct to go quiet on the matter, hold his tongue, was hard to shake, however. And his defensiveness over the possibility of being 'found out' because he accidentally gave too much away had him meeting and holding her gaze in a challenge. Wanting to force her to back down and stop questioning him so directly. It was a reaction he couldn't quite prevent, but one that he got under control a moment later when he remembered she wasn't actually a threat. That he should expect people to ask how he fit into the whole supernatural community.
Daryl forced his eyes to break contact and sucked in a deep breath, attempting to relax again.]
Bobcat.
[He kept the answer short because it was already hard enough to admit it outloud like that. Most of Hillingdon House didn't even know what kind of cat he turned into, only that he'd sometimes shift his eyes to get a better look at something and they could tell he was of the feline persuasion.]
