[ In the short time she's been here, she's managed to set up quite a network. Although all the large reptiles had instinctively known they were no longer the top predator around and cleared out (or been eaten), there's all manner of birds, snakes, and aquatic mammals willing to trade intelligence for a free pass at avoiding being made a snack.

The first reports of man begin to filter in when Vic is about ten miles away, and Khisanth has plenty of time to choose her intended meeting place and situate herself. At a mile away she picks up his scent, and it's not long after that that the sound of his boat comes drifting in to her as well ( ... )

[Well, it would be rather silly for him to think he could sneak up on her, but as the visitor, it would at least be polite for him to make his presence known directly. If he's unnerved by her, he doesn't show it, though she's most definitely unlike anything he's previously encountered. Any potential fear is still tempered by curiosity, as well as the assurance that he knows her well enough to tell she presents no more threat to him now than she ever did before. (Which says more for the potential threat she could always have been than any inherent harmlessness, really.)

He doesn't let the silence hang for long. If she meant to say anything to start, she would have already.]

I see you've certainly made yourself at home here, Onyx.

[ She finally moves at that, lifting her head to stare down at him coolly. Even lying down like she is, this still puts her head a good twenty feet above his. And oh, she savors every foot of the height advantage. ]

It's Khisanth. [ Her voice is far deeper, but pleasantly so. Only the cadence bears any similarity to Onyx's voice. ] I've finished with that other name.

[He smiles wider as she does that, looking right back up at her. Was it to hide some nervousness? Or, more likely, was it an act of defiance in the face of such a blatant imbalance? Vic Sage was nothing if not impertinent, after all.]

Khisanth, then. Makes sense, in hindsight. None of the other names you brought up from home resembled English so closely.

[He shifts his weight to the other foot. If there's one thing he could say against their current position, all his craning was going to be murder on his neck.]

Have you been keeping up your exercises?
