introduction

[texasaeronaut]

Though dressed for the far North, there is something of the West in the lazy gait and keen gaze of the whip-thin gentleman who moseys into the Mansion. Tucked into the front of his coat is a hare as wiry and worn as the man himself, and who follows his careless glance around the room. The surroundings illicit little reaction from either; the man shifts the hare a bit and she gives her long ears a twitch. This completed, he settles in, leaning against the nearest wall and crossing one long, lean leg over the other. Man and hare both seem content enough to stay as they are and let explanations come later, not will not be much troubled if they do not come at all.
