The growing doubt (Part 2)

The honesty that Arora possessed was readily apparent in her speech. She was aware of the complexities involved in forming bonds with spirit beasts, particularly in situations in which the spirit beasts may have had previous owners. Her ability to exert control depended on whether or not the cats were willing to acknowledge her as their new master. Because the cats had recently suffered the loss of bonds, it was possible that they would be less receptive to forming new relationships. 

They were all curious about who owned these cats because it was clear that they were all spirit beasts, but Raydon's dimensional storage could not possibly be large enough to accommodate all of them, so it was impossible for these cats to belong to him.
