Zhaneel had noted Hito's appearace before the boy had presumably shut his journal and tramped off to find her. She couldn't recall seeing anyone that looked like him before, but then she tended to keep rather to herself with the exception of a few individuals she shared time with.

Now, if only she'd thought to show him what she looked like, first .. Hmm. OH WELL!! :D

The gryphon goes by foot, prefering that option to landing in front of a stranger and possibly terrifying them.

Once in the courtyard she sits, tail curling around her taloned forefeet, and closes her eyes. It's sunny outside, and it feels amazing against her fur and feathers .. forgive her while she basks just a little bit, half dozing while she waits for Hito's arrival.

After his visit with Malkus, Hito needed some fresh air and sunshine. Not that he had anything against the doctor... really. He was just... a little too strange to sit right with Hito. His appearance put him on edge almost as much as the dark keep.

Hito didn't know what to expect of Zhaneel, but he thought she sounded a lot more... normal? than the doctor. And he needed a dose of normal in this place.

Stepping out into the sun, Hito lifted a hand to shield his eyes from the light. After the dark of the keep and his room, going outside was too much for his eyes. He blinked several times, trying to adjust.

It didn't work. Not at first, anyway. His eyes were watering too much from the initial exposure and he had to settle for rubbing them and trying to blink away the temporary blindness.

"Hello? I'm here... I think." He would be officially arrived once he could see again.

I can't make enough excuses for the delay, other than nearly a week away from my computer. So sorry! bondedgryphon October 14 2011, 18:24:46 UTC

It was nice that Hito had the assumption that Zhaneel was relatively normal when compared to the other residents of the Keep. She liked to think herself fairly normal, other than the whole 'being a gryphon' thing, but then that was pretty normal to her too.

The sun is hitting the barracks proper and she rouses a little as she hears approaching footsteps. Her ear tufts flick forward and her beak gapes in warm greeting.

"Heyla, Hito ..?"

She notes that the sun is in his face, but when his eyes adjust, she'll be sitting there rather expectantly. Surprise, Hito .. she's definitely not humanoid!

It's cool! I've been at work for a week straight. XD glassempty October 16 2011, 05:23:09 UTC

Surprise indeed. After Malkus, Hito had prepared himself a little better for the other unwilling residents of the keep to be a little strange, but he still wasn't expecting anything like a gryphon.

It could have been worse, though. On his world giant cats and wolves were considered standard transportation, so the sign of her wasn't enough to send him scrambling back for his locked room.

Hito blinked, working to collect himself before he lifted one hand in a small wave. "Uh... hi."

After another moment it clicked as he recognized the voice. "Zhaneel, right?"

When he waves, Zhaneel fluffs her facial feathers up and makes herself look as less menacing as possible. Really, isn't she too cute to maim, Hito? Minus that razor sharp beak or those talons, of course, but pay them no mind!

Her beak gapes slightly in a gryphonic grin and she bobs her head.

"Heyla! Yes, I am Zhaneel .."

Her facial feathers suddenly flatten and her eyes widen. "I did not warn you, did I?!" Her voice sounds strained and if she looks embarrassed, you would be correct. "I am sorry. I should have warned you that I was not humanoid... It tends to...ahh...surprise those unaware."

A warning would have been amazing, but Hito wasn't too put off by it. Honestly, he'd be surprised if anyone in this place didn't have at least one way of catching him completely off guard.

"Er... no. Don't apologize. It's not a big deal." He shrugged awkwardly, then found himself nervously scuffing one hand back through his hair. "Do you mind... if I ask what you are, then?"

That... was probably the rudest thing that could have come out of Hito's mouth, but... what was he supposed to say when faced with a gryphon?

Pulling an apologetic expression, Hito shook his head. "That didn't come out right, did it? I guess I haven't really met anyone non-humanoid before."

Yeah, she was pretty horrible at giving any kind of warning about how she looked; no matter how many people she startled the hell out of. So sorry about that. However, Hito was taking it all pretty well, so there was that positive side of things to take from this.

She shifts a bit awkwardly, but nods her head and fluffs all feathers and fur on her body before resettling them into position again. "No, you are completely fine, Hito. I do not mind such a question, for most here have seen nothing of my kind before. I am a gryphon... we are a magical construct of feline and avian created by my father, the Mage of Silence, Urtho.
