It didn't take long for the smaller man to come closer and seat himself. A moment later, he thanked Chimera for allowing him to be within the cave as well. A soft scoff escaped spotted nares and the brute shook his head. "It's not my cave." He knew what the man meant, however. Chimera could very well have denied him entry; told him to find his own damn cave.

Valens, the name was given. He even went so far as to call Chimera 'sir.' The giant's gaze narrowed for a moment. Already he had his suspicions about Valens. He seemed to know and accept that he was small and weak. "Chimera," the black and white brute replied in turn.

To see if he was correct in his assumptions, Chi decided to question the man a bit. "Where do you hail from, Valens?" It was the beginning of what could very well be a long evening. The rain didn't look as though it would let up anytime soon. Quite the opposite, in fact. It seemed to be coming down harder, the night getting blacker. Thunder rumbled off in the distance, indication yet another storm system on its way. Yep, they'd best settle in for a long night.
