Snippet #2694375

‘Damn.’ He cursed mentally. With all the noise of the market he could no longer hear them. Even with his ears it was too loud to hear their whispers. Risking a glance at the pair he wondered if he has been discovered. It seemed to him that they didn’t see him but that doesn’t mean they couldn’t sense him. While he couldn’t hear their voices, he did hear the low growl and wondered what caused it. Maybe they did notice him. Or they could have noticed someone else spying on them. If it was at him he hoped he could tell and how that he means them no harm. Scythe on his back not withstanding.

While he didn’t hear anymore of their conversation, he did see them make their way through the crowd. Ravyn followed them and kept a little distance, stopping periodically to give the impression of looking at various wares. He considered using the new ring he got but the possibility of bumping into people and drawing attention kept the ring in his bag.

Through out his observation of the powerful feline and her male friend, he passed by a member of the crowed that had the scent of blood on them. Not something like a relatively new wound but something… darker. Like they specialized in blood magic. The feeling made his feathers poof out as though he touched a live wire. It took a few seconds for them to settle back down. While no schools of magic are forbidden by his race, very few try that path. He could count on one hand the number that have tried it. They eventually give it up for being too gruesome. Whoever this user is he’s… an avid user. For now he wanted to avoid this person and crossed to the other side of the market to do so.

As he followed it became clear they were headed for the grav train station. Apparently they were leaving for another world and the male was taking on the appearance of a bodyguard or possibly a servant.

Ravyn moved close enough to overhear their destination and car choice. Once they paid and left he quickly dropped a couple gems on the counter and bought a matching ticket. As he watched the pair head towards the rear car and once they boarded, followed behind. The dragon did note the amount of guardians and wondered how often they had trouble makers. Not wanting to appear too hostile, he took his scythe in his hand and muttered a command in his native language. The blade appeared to liquify and be absorbed into the shaft. Once complete it looked like an ornate mage’s staff. Satisfied, he put it on his back and boarded the train.

There was only one room remaining so hiding himself from the human and feline was no longer possible. Still, he wasn’t sure he was discovered and could play off being the explorer he is.

“Hello.” The dragon smiled and waved to Alexia and Sam. He was pleasantly surprised to find the room empty save for Sam and Alexia so he took a seat across from them. He leaned his staff against the wall and pulled out his Explorer’s map. The screen lit up focusing on the current world with various notes. Some from him and some from others. All of which were in his language. A few movements of his finger and a note mentioning the chameleon ring was added. He kept his attention on the map while his ears were casually turned towards the pair.
