I won't allow you to perish alone; Kagerus & any diplomats/leaders.

[Kagerus]

{ and in my dreams i've kissed your lips a thousand times }

With nary a qualm offered by the lovely Anninux (who will assuredly get the hang of this place sooner than later, given her intelligence and patience), we settle in to wait for another's arrival. Pastern-deep in warm, tropical water, I think briefly upon how drastically my life has changed since the day of my birth, and the calm, nearly lull-ish years succeeding it. Times were simper than, but I am blessed to have come into many loved ones, and to still have many from that time, too; I say a quiet prayer for my father who, though immortal, became so during the final chapter of his life, and who will always be somewhat more frail than the rest of us.

As the final thoughts of prayer ascend to the heavens, another angel from my past materializes - but literally, this time. While I am not immediately able to place the familiarity of the approaching stallion, I offer him a small, reserved smile, and perk my ears to listen to that which he has to say. The scent of him drives me nearly mad with almost-knowing; but after the male's initial exuberance, my curiosity becomes sated by way of his introduction.

Tiphon.

Without pause, the smile upon my lips grows to its genuine size, nearly flashing teeth for the joy that I feel upon seeing this creature. Now, the joy comes not from any previous relationship with this creature, but instead from the knowledge that he, too, is from the time before the Reckoning. Not many remain, and what few do I find to be largely upright and lovely people - by the kindness in the angel's eyes and the hoarse warmth of his voice, I figure that he will be among their number, too, by the end of this.

Remembering myself, I tuck away my jovial expression in favour of listening to my apprentice diplomat introduce us. I smirk a little when she incorrectly identifies our place of origin, noting to reiterate that later on; but on the whole, she does well, even squeezing in something of a joke before stepping back to allow me some room to speak. Reaching over, I press a nuzzle of pride to the Shagya Arabian's neck, remembering my own days as a novice back in the Jungle.

Turning now to face he who represents an inextricable mix of the past and the present, I gather my thoughts and part my lips to speak. As I do, I notice the perfection of the angel's porcelain skin, and wonder privately whether he shall notice the gory scar which splits my face from right ear to left nostril; but, although I do not have wings such as he, I do have a crown of antlers which speak of my own authority and respectability.

"Tiphon," I begin. "It is a pleasure to finally meet you, after all this time. My name is Kagerus; when I was only a very young girl, I believe you were involved quite heavily with the Dale. Don't quote me on that though; I was only a girl then, after all, and only the beginnings of what I am now." I offer another smile, and a dip of my head in reverence of what we both once were. After a suitable pause, I regain my posture and continue.

"As Anninux stated, we hail from the East, called now the Sanctuary. We come in the hopes of discovering who leads this land, how they are aligned to the others in their quadrant, and whether we may establish a bond of peace between our nations. Furthermore, we come to bestow the information of our quadrant upon you, should that be something you are interested in - I assume it is, but it is quite a long story, so perhaps you will share yours first in light of the fact that I've now spoken for many minutes straight."

Smiling again, I settle my lips in a pleasant line, the nutmeg of my eyes sparkling gently as I await Tiphon's response.

So I did some stalking, and Tiphon and Kag were posting at the same time circa 05/2016 and onward, so I writ in that she knows of him, though I don't believe they ever officially met.
