Heading Out

"No when rain stops i go to gardens. Do you plan to ever visit the gardens?"

Now that he was more calm his articulation as coming back to him. His ears perked up and he seemed to ease out of that previous hostility.

"I will be ok trust me... I heal quickly and naturally"

He had to shake the cobwebs out. He took a big deep breath and managed a big fangy sile at everyone.

She smiled back.

"In that case I'll just go take care of this."

She stood the soked blanket still in hand.

"It was nice to meet everyone and yes I plan to visit the gardens."

She moved off to go about her day.

The rain they all had escaped indoors from was herd pounding down upon the stone shingeling which made up the roof of the quaint establishment. The windows steaming some from the apparent diffrance in tempture, however through that haze on the glass a strange figure could be seen hobling towards the building from the east. Perhaps from the docks?
Either way it was making its way towards them. Hopping each step like a crow. Tall in frame work the person, thing, creature seemed anormus even on the hurizon. Shrouded in thick ragged black garb, torn into long shreeds something you would picture a ghoul wearing as a sort of morbid death shroud.
The size of the thing could have been a meer illusion however.
Some odd lighing brought on by the overcast or even the glossy wet that had now soaked the newcomer on its travles. whatever the case it was walking as though it was old or perhaps wounded.
A noticable arua of caution to anyone willing to brave going outside and bother with the creature clung there in the air. Noted by the prickling of hair on the back of ones neck or the erge to shudder.

His nose hit the air suddenly. His eyes opening huge and any attention or words from anyone elses mouth became meaningless. He knew that scent ofcourse he knew it. There was not a single being alive that he could pin point sooner or faster then that. He leapt to his feet and ran for the door. He stood just in front of it panting softly, partially from the pain in his side partially from shock. His eyes searched hte night looking only hoping that the form he saw was who he was hoping it would be.

All hobbling stopped and the figure stood still a moment before slinking into a full stand the mass of the robbed creature doubling upon desiered posture. "Darkest of all old friend." The voice of the newcomer lost to all ears but the feline male in range of it's words. A flash of white seen from under the hallowed hood that jutted from the suposed shoulders of the person. A gloved hand reaching out and twisting at the wrist to point the index, middle and thumb in Sky's direction.

"I didn't know you were... still even alive. It has been so long. Do you really need to call me old all the time?"

He took a step back so that way she could enter, he had seem to forget his ackwardness/ His was clearly articulating well also. He nodded slowly and gave her that odd sly grin.

"What have you been up to these past years you have been absent?"

"Absent, aw yes. You left me in the moutains after the cave in. I can't blame you." An odd metalic laugh was herd lost in more than one voice before the form of the creature started to dissappear. " We will have time to talk soon...Time is hard to grasp. Sand in the hour glass." The extended hand tapped the end of sky's wiskers before it faded completly out. "Sky." the last word broke into four voices and trailed into silance.

He reached out his hand into the rain to touch the dissapearing form and grasped onto the nothingness that was there. He stood for a moment keeping his back to everyone. He then turned and had a smile slowly cross over his face.

"This place is going to get a lot more interesting..."
