To his credit, the stallion does no more than lend a cautious eye to my familiar. Trusting of him, I initially judge; but I quickly change the label to observant. After all, I would not be so calmly approaching if Panthera were anything but a trusted ally. Smiling benevolently, I return the dip of my head to his, and my leopard flicks her tail indifferently. Privately, of course, I can tell that she likes him, too.

When he speaks, it is with a soft, effeminate voice. My ears perk at the rare sound, so used to the abrasive rumble of hyper masculinity; whoever this kind mannered fellow is, I welcome him. He smells of Hyaline though, so he must be fitting in fine there - and how well that is, too, considering how under staffed Kensa and Litotes are over in their third of the East. Shortly, the stallion reveals that yes, he is from Hyaline. He also introduces himself as Rouhi. Without missing a beat, the handsome young fellow turns to greet Panthera in turn - making sure to cover all of his bases.

Moved by his kindness (and maybe looking for a little fun), the feline creature next to me rises from her sitting position, and blatantly strides up to Rouhi. Watching with a cocked brow and a warning to my cat to be nice (though she truly doesn't need one), I lean my weight in a hip and wait for the interaction to play out. As tall as a pony, Panthera needn't stretch far to brush her muzzle against the stallion's, playing horse with the performance of the ritual greeting. After a moment, a low-pitched chirp vibrates in the air between the two, and the leopard promptly falls into a heap, content to oversee our meeting from her lazed position.

"She says it is nice to meet you too," I translate bemusedly. Shaking my head with a chuckle, I lend Rouhi a mildly apologetic glance before continuing. "Rouhi, then - it is lovely to hear that you have found your way to Hyaline. That land used to be mine and Solace's kingdom, before the arrival of the plague - it is very dear to my heart." I pause, my expression melting into a bittersweet nostalgia, which is quickly discarded with a shake of my head. "When did you arrive there? Were you born in Beqanna? If not, what do you make of it thus far?"
