Starting Anew (Open)

[Ifran]

Ifran had no vested interest in a fight breaking out or not, but he was acutely aware that nobody in Alvadas thought he was anything special. Nobody would rush to his aid in an emergency, and so he had to be ever more alert and vigilant against threats to his well being. Though he knew of the bestial nature of Kelvics and of Zith, the Zith remained a mystery still. Ifran did not know why he seemed so intent on violence, especially so far from home and surrounded by people, most of whom probably thought he was a monster. In any case, when Gromhir seemed ready to go, Ifran resumed walking in the direction of the Wolf's Cave, which was to say he began walking in the likeliest direction with the firm goal in his mind. Most of the time that sufficed to get him where he wanted to go in Alvadas where the streets shifted under one's feet.

[Laute]

Not a beast? No, it still made him a beast. He may be more intelligent than one, more adaptable than most, but in the end, he was still a beast. Still, there was no need to quarrel with one who could not accept his own nature. Denial has always been the greatest blinder and words have never been enough to get past it. Eventually, something will happen and he'll be forced to accept it.

Besides, the Kelvic no longer paid attention to Aditi. The threat was gone.

He straightened as they walked, his hands once more hidden beneath his wings. Yawning, he distastefully avoided looking at the shining buildings, the sun glittering off their windows. It was annoyingly bright today, for some reason, as though the city itself was teasing him. His eyes averted to the ground; at least it wasn't another reflection of the sky.

Losing interest rapidly with the Kelvic, he turned back to the other man. Quiet and to the side, but that was not how he had seemed the last time they met. A performer, he had said, but what performer stays out of the spotlight?

"Your name?" he finally asked.

[Ifran]

OOCSo sorry! This one slipped through the cracks! It was Ifran's understanding that the origins of the Kelvics were animals granted human form and not the other way around, but this Gromhir seemed well spoken for a mere animal with the power to assume a human form. He was, at any rate, more civilized than Laute, but Ifran did not judge the Zith for being what he was either. If he was a good Zith, then he was good. But Zith and Kelvics were not Eypharians, just as oranges and apples were nourishing fruits, but hardly the same. He wasn't sure what he had expected, but he nodded to Gromhir and turned once more in the direction that would take him away and, his will and need helping to dictate the path that would lay itself before their feet, toward the Wolf's Cave. "It should not take long," he said quietly, "though Alvadas often proves itself different from what one would expect, even after some experience of the same."

[Laute]

OOC: I'll just write next, then...

This city liked to play tricks on people, putting them in situations they didn't like and couldn't adapt to. Despite his sharp claws and keen hunting skills, Laute had never been interested in fights. True enough, there were many things to learn from them and fighting honed his skills in ways a normal hunt could not. But there were more interesting things in this world and he just didn't have any time for unnecessary conflict.

Oddly enough, Laute found himself wandering from one brawl to another. Sometimes it was due to circumstances, but for the most part is was due to Zith's nature and awkward mannerisms.

Fortunately the kelvic continued to remain on the other side of the man, ignoring Laute and, more importantly, Aditi blatantly. This was one morning they could spend in peace.

The man as well seemed to be disregarding him, talking to the kelvic in low whispers. Amusing as it was to listen to him speak quietly, as though Laute couldn't hear the Eypharian's very heartbeat, it rankled him.

"Your name?" he repeated, slightly ire.
