Kalim smiled wide, making it appear that his eyes closed in the squint, though he never impaired his vision. He slowly snaked his orange-furred tail out toward the younger sister, stopping it before her. [b][i][color=f7941d]"I am indeed a big kitty, little Kierie."[/color][/i][/b] He waved it invitingly in front of her, hopefully showing her that it was alright to pet his tail. After a moment, regardless if she took the offer or not, he looked at Lyriia, [b][i][color=f7941d]"Well, it is more about how we can help each other. I am Lieutenant Knight Kalim, and I'm investigating a recent... incident. Now, I want you to know before I continue, at this time, neither you nor any of your fellows here, are suspected of any crime, and do not deserve any punishment. I'm simply here for answers."[/color][/i][/b]

He knew that this might be fairly stressful for anyone, especially after what she'd been through, had he learned the facts. And he always learned the facts. He continued, [b][i][color=f7941d]"So it seems you were apprenticed to one Gherick Longarm, one of Silent Rise's finest medical minds. He did so after witnessing you perform what can only be described as 'magic'."[/color][/i][/b] He paused for a moment, to judge her reaction, as well as that of the sister. Moving past that, [b][i][color=f7941d]"So it seems that word got out, and the villagers reacted... poorly. As such, you were driven from your apprenticeship and forced out, and now it seems you live here with your family. Is all of what I say true?"[/color][/i][/b]

He kept his face passive, and his body language relaxed and aloof. He really hoped she didn't try and flee, it was really difficult to capture a fairy without injuring them. Then he remembered something on his person, reaching slowly into a small pocket on his thigh. His face broke into a grin as he pulled out a paper wrapped object. Unwrapping it revealed it to be a brightly colored honey candy. Pulling out a single claw, he stuck it straight down the center, shattering it. He popped a large chunk into his own mouth, hoping it showed that it wasn't a trap, then offered the shards to the fairies, saying to the younger one, [b][i][color=f7941d]"If you want, you can share these with your brethren."[/color][/i][/b] This also gave an excuse for the younger one to not be here for what was likely a very serious conversation.
