Elisa-garg's reality. Castle Wyvern. Seeking Chiyoko.

[random_xtras]

Midnight has passed, and a light snow is fluffing down on the castle battlements and piling up in soft drifts in the corners of the courtyard. Voices come distantly from within the castle. All is still otherwise.

And then a figure materializes on the wall. A giant of a man with scaly skin and a horned brow, he turns his head as though listening, his long tail sweeping away the snow.

Then he crouches and waits to be noticed.

She drops from one of the higher turrets of the castle, landing instantly in a fighting stance with her sword drawn. "You have seconds to explain yourself."

He turns his head and looks at her with calm golden eyes that seem to glow slightly.

-I am called Hunter,- comes a deep, gentle voice inside her mind. -Chiyoko is my friend, and I was hoping to see her.-

Katana did not lower her sword in the slightest. Though she was more often found in the role of doting mother or straight woman to her antic prone mate, she could just as easily be hard as steel when need be.

"Your friend from where, exactly?"

-We met in the Nexus. At a place called Zeeter's Bar.- He stays in the easy, non-threatening crouch, unwilling to tower over the woman.

Possible. And her warrior instincts aren't especially screaming at her for attention right now, so she cautiously lowers her weapon, but does not yet sheathe it.

"I do not believe she is in right now."

-Oh.- His broad shoulders, bare to the weather, slump with disappointment.

"Perhaps you would wish to come out of the cold, regardless? Some tea, perhaps?"

[random_xtras]

He blinks and looks around. -Err, yes, the cold. Tea sounds good. Thank you.-

Or perhaps he was much like Gargoyles, and did not feel the temperature drop unless it was truly cold.

Regardless, she bowed slightly. "I am Katana."

[random_xtras]

-Hello.- He straitens slowly, till the full seven foot of his frame is revealed. And his tail continues its restless movements. That tail is longer than he is.

If it were just about anyone else, they'd be showing surprise just now. But not Kat. She's much too collected for such.

"Come. I will show you to the kitchen."

[random_xtras]

-Thank you.- He leaps down from the wall, not even showing any shock from the landing, then waits for her politely.

Katana led the way to the kitchen and, once there, set about making the tea. "So..." she ventures, "how long have you been acquainted with Chiyoko?"
