So many paths and a lot of time[Kakoli]

[Ssafirsotibones]

11 Summer 511 A day like any other, Bones walked along to see where the road took him. He tried not to fight the city and its motions, but simply take it all in stride. Today he had woken with his house sitting on top of a wall, and had fallen several feet when stepping out. He wondered how it had gotten up there, and how it did not crush it... Who knew... He tried not to think about it... Regardless he was going along, and would head wherever he would. Maybe he would find another person to interact with, maybe he would find a new place... Or maybe he would fall down another hole like last week... One which was covered in an illusion... The third time this year.... The city really liked throwing holes at him... Regardless, he kept his awareness as wide as possible, looking over at the other passerby...

Kakoli walked out the mossy doors of the Sanity Center. She allowed herself to be led by the homeward bound key rather then the path she chooses. Each new turn left her on a different street, only to have her turn back in the around to show yet another. She all but wondered what this place would show her. Which each new environment presented to her, she stopped at moments to take it all in. The houses, the people. At times she would see doors where windows should be and vice versa. The surrounding people seems to think nothing of it. What if a person did not know how to climb, how would they ever enter their homes? And the people, she hardly recognized any at all. Each stranger she would see was unique, but one was able to catch her attention..

Walking along, he noticed one person, a woman. However she seemed a bit more... feral than the average one... Darting out his tongue, he tasted the air... And smelled something familiar... He could not be sure, but it did not smell like a human... Something else? He new there were a few other races that could transform and appear human... And this was not a dhani, he knew the taste of his own race quite well... No, this was something else... Though still not a human. It seemed that a lot of animal like races took Alvadas as a refuge, since it was a good place for them. After all, people here were never surprised by what they saw, and could not be sure of its reality... So why not greet her, what could it hurt. Turning, he looked her in the eyes, and waved, greeting her, in his usual slow sibilant speech. ""Hello ssere... Are you knew to Alvadasss? People call me Bonesss... Sssince mossst cannot pronounce my name... He would do his best to not seem to intimidating, as people seemed to be scared of him for some reason. He seemed to almost exude something which made people fear him... Though at the moment he was keeping his killer intent in check... And was quite calm. As long as he did not see anyone as a threat, he would stay safe to be around... After all, unlike most dhani, he did not kill unless he had to... Otherwise it was such a waste...

The stranger stopped next to her. Unsure if he was headed past her direction she stayed where she was. He didn't move or speak. He didn't so much as excuse himself. She couldn't help but stare up at the man. She's quite small, smaller than most people of her kind actually, much smaller. Her neck was tilted to the majority of its capacity so as to be able to see the man's face. He seem to be quite normal. He was tall, built, as any man would surely be. The one feature that seem to outshine the rest were his eyes. They seemed to shimmer and were slit more so that her own. Could he he also be a Kelvic, possibly, although there was no point in jumping to conclusion. After several seconds, his tongue sudden flicked out, causing her to flinch slightly. After a while, of which it looked as if her was survey her, he spoke. He greeted her, albeit slowly. Although it sounded a bit forced, she thought nothing of it. "Um...Hi. Nice to meet you...Bones? I sort of just got here.", She paused for a second, "Anyways, My names Kakoli." She added with a smile.

[Ssafirsotibones]

Listening, he heard her soft voice. She seemed rather reluctant to speak, which seemed quite common around him. Regardless, he went on, greeting her in a rather neutral tone. "Nice to meet you Kakoli, ssso why did you decide to come here to Alvadasss? Are you jussst visssiting, or are you sssticking around?" It did seem that this was a haven for the oddballs of the land, those that did not really fit in with humans and there ilk.... Some of them were not so bad, but most just assumed at first glance that anything not like them were evil. However the more animal like races tended to be more open, and have a bit less inhibitions... Though most still feared his race, as most dhani were not to safe to be around....

[Kakoli]

She thought about the question. She didn't know how exactly to explain it herself. It kind of hurt to have to explain why she's here in the first place. After all being rejected by her last master isn't exactly a happy story. She looked down for a moment thinking of what she would say. "Well I kind of just started traveling and I heard about this place. It seemed interesting, since most said it wasn't normal. I guess I underestimated what normal meant. The streets are kind of weird though. Who knows maybe I will stay.", She added a smile. She probably seemed naive because of the way she acted. She was sure that is was clear she was young and new. OOCSorry for not posting in a while, been sick. :/

Bones listened to the girl, and took his time before responding. He was in no hurry to end this conversation... He generally let things go on at there own pace... "Yes, the streets have a mind of there own... There take you were they think you should go, not were you want to... I have been here for a while, settled into a nice little place... It seems better than other places... Especially for those like us that are not human... Since people are wary to know if what they see is real or not..." "Either way, maybe I will see you again young one... if you stay long enough... How old are you?" This would all be said in his normal slow sibilant speech, with no sense of urgency, and utilizing every pause possible... He was a rather laid back snake person... With the last part more of a demand than a simple question...

[Kakoli]

She waited a while before answering. She certainly didn't look her age. She may have looked very young to him but she was definitively older than what she was. She hesitated no longer and answered the patient man. "I'm 1. How old might you be? If you don't mind me asking...."

[Ssafirsotibones]

Bones looked over at the girl, she was younger than even he had thought... So much more to go in her life, so many things to experience. Though for people such as her, they had to live faster, as there lives were shorter. He himself was not even half way through with his life, if nothing unexpected happened to cut it short. But that was how life was, it always ended unexpectedly... Looking at the small being before him, he gave his odd grimace like smile, which tended to creep people out more than anything else. "No, ssat is alright... Today is the 11th I believe? I will turn one hundred and thirty years old in seventy one days time. It is almost my birthday!" Saying this, it was obvious he was counting the days off in his head, to figure out the exact amount. To say there was an age gap between the two... Would be to put it mildly... Here stood a dhani having lived over a century, and was about to turn 130 years old...

[Kakoli]

"130...How'd you get so old?", She asked on sudden impulse. Her eyes opened wide from shock. She hadn't expected him to name so many years. There was a extreme aging gap between them. He didn't seem that old to her. He must have seen her as very naive. Here she was taking everything so lightly while he's see who knows what during nearly a century. What surprised her more was that he still knew when he would age and was still looking forward to it. 130. That's more than she'd live in her own life. Things really weren't what they seemed at all.
