Kalim lazily looked over from his resting spot, on his back high above the village he was charged with protecting. His keen eyes could make out the fairy folk therein, going about their day. They were his assignment. But that could wait for a bit, he didn't expect any trouble from them. His whiskers twitched, his ears flicked and he looked back toward the canopy. He'd been up here all day, mostly napping and observing their actions. 

Everyone had heard about there being a fairy witch or some other dogshit like that. He didn't put much stock in that sort of thing. Gossip was just riddles without intelligence. However, being an Ebon Knight, he did have to investigate the matter. For the last few months, there had been talk that magic was returning to the world, and in increasing frequency. The higher-ups always sent an investigator to a magic rumor. He'd heard that this was for the protection of the people, but he suspected it was more about the other, more worrying rumor. The one that Vircastoria was being rebuilt far to the west, with the aid of the Screamers. If that was the case, having mages running wild during a war was just another factor the Lord Knights didn't need. But all of that was neither here nor there. 

Letting loose one final yawn, he deftly sprang up from his back onto his paws, watching as not a single leaf wiggled on his branch. Springing from branch to branch, trunk to trunk, his claws keeping the grip needed until he found himself just outside the little settlement. Silently dropping down, he slipped into a passive, cross-legged seated position, clawed hands out in a display of peace. His tail lazily waved back and forth behind him, as he started purring loudly, intentionally trying to lure someone out. He knew his black, cloth garbs might be off putting to some, especially since he never wore his rank sash. Purple just stuck out a little too much when he was trying to go unnoticed. And his Sergeant Knight always hated the black headband he wore. Nowadays he did it just to piss her off.
