Seele tried to size him up, get a read, but the man was a sphynx. A sphynx with a dour look permanently carved into his silly, symmetrical face. Frankly, it felt a lot like dealing with Rael, only this time she had the benefit of already having dealt with someone like Rael. Brick walls they were, just different flavors of brick. 

[color=92278f]“Well, you certainly seem to know him better than I do, so if you think he’s alright…”[/color] she said, flapping a hand at her face and airing out the collar of her robe. The witchy look had always worked for her, but Thorinn wasn’t making it easy anymore. The humidity wasn’t so much the problem, she was used to that, but the sun was just dreadful. Suddenly, her dearly departed hat didn’t seem so silly anymore. 

Kazuki still had a little sass left in him, it seemed, but she waved it off. [color=92278f]“I’m here because it’s not safe for a young man to go wandering around the city alone, clearly. The place is a playground on Halloween, just swap out the sugar for mass panic, and the children for…well, bigger children, I suppose,”[/color] she said, gesturing around at the unprecedented bustle that had seized her patron city. Distantly she could hear more raucous shouting, likely from other wayfarers finding themselves in similarly tense situations. [color=92278f]“And you know, at this point it feels like getting the full story would be like playing Telephone. It's probably all garbled and twisted up and not at all like what actually happened, I don’t think.”[/color]

She finally straightened up, took a deep breath of her own, and like that she was smiling again. [color=92278f]“But you’re welcomed to tell it to me, if you like. Or we could just talk. You might have noticed I like talking maybe a bit [i]too[/i] much, but I’m also good at listening. So, if you want me to zip up, you’ll just have to give me something to listen to.”[/color][/indent][/indent][/indent]
