Silver, blue-flecked eyes tilted to the sky as a handsome raven circled in the sky above him, before dipping low in his direction, landing a short distance away. Curious, Xephyris watched the brave bird, wondering if the raven suspected he might have some food to scavenge off of. The brute shrugged his shoulders; the raven would be out of luck today if that was what he was seeking. His attention shifted as a wolf approached him from a different angle. The brown and white marked wolf meandered at a leisurely pace toward him, and Xephyris waited patiently. He was in no rush, although his determination was high, and he hoped that the approaching wolf had come for a spar. Perhaps he might be a good candidate for the base of wolves that Xeph wished to build the foundation of his kingdom upon. Now would be a good time to determine that. As the wolf finally arrived, Xephyris watched as the man began to set a defensive stance, and just a whiff of the man's scent told him that he belonged to no pack. Ah, good, he'd come for a spar indeed, and he wasn't chained to any place in particular. Perking as the man spoke, he found the wolf's manner of speech curious, a little bit on the slow side. He hoped that didn't represent the man's intelligence, nor his abilities in combat. He supposed he'd find out soon enough, as he began to slowly match the other man's battle-ready stance. "Indeed, I'm hoping for a good match," he responded, before a polite greeting rumbled from his throat, "Pleasure to meet you Thanatos. I am Xephyris. Do you have a lot of fighting experience?" He was buying a bit of time, curious to know just a little more about this man. |
