"Because they sent me, of course," Nepeta answers, without even so much as missing a beat. Admittedly, that only raises more questions, particularly in the category of why Nepeta's even bringing it up in the first place, if she's something like a scout, but presumably this can be answered later. "And they're coming from very fur away, but that doesn't mean anything."

If there's one thing that can be said of Alternian fleets, it's that they can be surprisingly fast, even without a proper helmsman. And surprisingly deadly, for that matter, but that's the whole point of having a warfleet in the first place, and so Nepeta doesn't bother to mention that little detail.
