Hello, Chimera Here.

The sound of quickly approaching paws pulled Chimera from whatever mental musings he'd been going through to pass the time. Much to his delight, the wolf to welcome him to The Hallows was Avantika. As the woman drew near, the beasts maw split in a grin. "Darling Avantika," the leonine king purred as he lounged like he owned the place. He made no move to get up right away simply because he was sure that she wanted this all to be over and done with. "How have you been since we last spoke? How did Artorias take the news?" A sweet smile on his face, Chimera actually batted his lashes as he showed mock interest in the girl's words. He didn't really care how Art had taken the lack of alliance. A woman couldn't be sent to do a man's job. The Aegis should have come himself. That was why they were still bullshitting rather than having the business completed already.

With a sigh and a stretch, the behemoth of a man rolled agilely to his paws. Hooking the ties on the thick package with one claw, Chimera tossed it so that it landed before the grey, gold and white woman. "A gift in return for the wine," The pack held a stack of waterproof beaver pelts. He'd worked the hides himself. Such items would come in handy once the wet winter struck Auster.

Now standing, Chimera was able to get a good look at the woman's face. It was pinched and sour looking. Like some old maid licking lemons. "Why Avantika, if I didn't know any better, I'd think that you weren't happy to see me again." One paw raised to rest upon his chest dramatically and the man gave his head a shake. "And here I've come all this way just to see you and your brother." Behind the man, his obsidian tail lashed languidly back and forth like a playing cat. It was all a game and Tika was his mouse. "Speaking of your brother, are you going to take me to see him or are you planning to keep me all for yourself this evening?" Again, Chimera grinned, flashing rows of wicked teeth at the frightened, and likely irritated, woman.

"Chimera"
