[h3][center]~~Ebon Shael~~[/center][/h3] Ah, this forest was so...green! Not like the frozen ones on the dark side of Sal'Xantis, or the scraggly blasted ones on its sunlit side. Or even the dark, peaceful Gloam wood present in the Twilight Band of her homeworld. The humans mentioned this was how trees were on their homeworld. She had never seen them before but ah, it was so beautiful! Ah, ah, a thought for later. She couldn't let herself get off track, no no. Much to study and do! She'd need to document, log, and thoroughly examine everything about the life on this planet! Oh, she hoped Jessiel had the science equipment working by the time she got - "Ah, that's a cliff." She audibly commented, almost stumbling over the edge of a chasm as she hadn't [i]entirely[/i] been looking where she was going. Before she could take in the castle and its entirety, however, a loud boom was heard overhead. Casting her head to the sky, she frowned slightly under her mask. "...and that's a sonic boom. Breaking the sound barrier? Curious. So this place does have life...hmhm...Ooooh, I want to meet them!~" She giggled brightly. "We could share technology! Magic! Theories! Discover the mysteries of the universe, Tee-hee!" Ah, if only there was some way to get the attention of their aircraft that wouldn't make her seem hostile. Flinging magic spears at people were not a good way to make first impressions, ehe! She learned that when she met the humans. "Oh well, oh well! If they're here that means they're aware of us." Ever positive, Shael turned her attention back to the castle. "We're bound to run into each other very soon. Veeery veeery soon, eheh!" Leaping over to one of the rickety bridges, Shael took in the old, but very familiar structure. It looked very similar to the structures they lived in back on Sal'Xantis. Far more ancient and with less advanced amenities...but there was definitely old magic here of some sort. Very old. Extremely old. The place just oozed with discoveries waiting to be made! She'd just need to find a way to navigate those [i]amazing[/i] hallways. Tee-hee! Countless stones were missing. Walls crumbled. Statues and bookcases rotten and in shambles...and yet, Shale couldn't help but to feel as though it was recently lived in. A breath of life was in the place, so to speak. Newer doors seemed to have been installed in the front of the castles main arch, and through another a freshly restored tapestry could be seen, depicting some sort of winged quadruped in colorful colors. "Ahhh, such magnificent restoration!" She brightly replied before quickly silencing herself as her ears picked up something. Audible. Speaking? She couldn't make out the words, she was too far away! Oh, was there someone else here? She should go greet them, indeed! An Ebon must be an hospitable host, after all! Quickly sprinting in the direction of the voice, she quickly found its source. A...some sort of small quadruped! Richly decorated and wearing an assortment of golden rings, with bags full of plants and other important looking alchemical ingredients. Oh, and next to her was an adorable little droid of some sort! Ooh! Like that AI the humans had with them when they visiting! She was no good with technology herself, but how fascinating! Curious! So grandly curiously fascinating! She just [i]had[/i] to go say hi! "Hellloooo!~" Shael arrived on the scene - quite likely in a very sudden and startling manner as they likely weren't to have seen her while the 13th art was activated. Before they could say much, she was already in front of the Zebra, giggling lightly and holding the side of her face. "Ah, such a pretty thing! So curious! Small but intelligent? And such a foreign biology! Ah ah, I almost want to dissect you!~" She giggled in a mildly morbid seeming matter before settling down slightly, turning to the robot, dancing around Sparky in a slow circl, observing him excitedly. "Ooh, and such a pretty robot! How do you work, I wonder? Are you intelligent? An AI?" Before she could answer though, she finished with a final question, directed back towards "Tell me little quadruped, I over[i]herd[/i] you saying something about the nearest city? Am I better [i]hoofing[/i] it there, or getting Jessiel to carry me?" There Puns [i]always[/i] made a good first impression. She stopped walking, completely unaware they didn't speak the same language. Or rather, she had completely overlooked that probability. Instead, all Zecora and Sparky would likely hear, were several melodic hums, chimes, and giggles.
