[Zhaneel had been pretty much silent to this point, figuring out how the strange thing attached to her forefoot (that'd be her communicator) worked as well as getting herself settled into her given 'home'.

She has, however, been listening to anything she can over it and scouting the area. No, that bandage really hadn't stayed over her injured eye terribly long, but then she'd wanted to scout as quickly as possible and having no depth perception made for poor flight.

She really didn't like trees enough to smash into them without warning, you know?

So, have another unidentified reply to your transmission, Noble Two.]

I am sparse with hand to talon combat, but can defend myself readily enough on the ground. I suppose it's rather rudimentary compared to many of the humanoids, but it gets the job done.

[It's rather like watching a lion tear into something, really. Raina had taken her by surprise and she'd been uncertain as to wtf had been going on. Otherwise, shit would have been ON ( ... )

catherine_b320 January 11 2011, 18:46:53 UTC

[Excuse her, most of the things she knows that can fly under their own power want her dead.]

... And what are you, exactly?

bondedgryphon January 11 2011, 19:04:57 UTC

[Zhaneel would certainly excuse the doubt. She's got more than her fair share of aerial born enemies that would make her just as cautious with someone she hasn't met face to face.

Even so, the poor gryphon has concern for how this will be taken. After all, that whole not seeing face to face thing can lead to things ending rather poorly for someone.]

A gryphon. [It is stated rather simply, but there is no denying the pride behind her words.] I would be willing to wager that you have not encountered my kind before. I seem rather the odd bird out ..

catherine_b320 January 11 2011, 19:29:11 UTC

[She knows the word. It's a heraldic symbol, in use for millennia on Earth. A myth. Like dragons.]

You'd need not wager. I can safely say you're correct.

... Are you -

[Tame? Religious? Asking if she's Covenant would be a little too obvious, even for someone who lacks certain subtleties.]

- capable of working with humans?

OH GOD! I didn't even consider Covenant vs. Spartan here. LOL Oh my! bondedgryphon January 11 2011, 20:03:06 UTC

[My, but wasn't it going to be quite the surprise to see that she was being as literal as possible when she said 'gryphon'. Nothing heraldic or symbolic about it, nor any attempt at keeping her insignia unknown to those that might be listening.

You question makes her raise a feathered brow as she studies her communicator, Catherine. In the end, however, you'll get a perfectly inhuman chortle of amusement as she nods to herself.]

I have been aiding the fellows in my Wing for the entirety of my life, humans and non-humans alike. More than capable, as our lives depended on one another more oft than not.

dun dun dun dunnnnn catherine_b320 January 12 2011, 02:17:55 UTC

An impressive resume. Will it serve you here, do you think?

[WARY SPARTAN IS WARY.]

/becomes pals with Arbiter as well, cause .. that's how she rolls X> bondedgryphon January 12 2011, 03:10:13 UTC

[Zhaneel contemplates her answer. In truth, she knew that she couldn't allow these people to come to harm. It was not within her nature to allow such things to happen if she could help. She'd been on the receiving end of negative treatment and abuse for too many years to sit back and watch when she could help someone else. Monsters .. abuse .. same diff.]

I do not approve of the manner in which we have been taken, but I cannot justify sitting idle while the people here are being harmed. If my assistance can bring aide to those in need, then I will help as best I can.

We are here for however long .. I will at least see myself helping how I can.

[Wary Spartan is adorbs.]

FFFF YOU MOCK HER PAIN. :| catherine_b320 January 12 2011, 03:18:25 UTC

[Huh. Okay. As much as Kat is sort of anti-anything-alien, you are not hitting her 'KILL IT WITH FIRE' instinct. Gasp! What can it be!]

And do you have a name?

/embraces said pain and EATS IT! }:> bondedgryphon January 12 2011, 03:39:50 UTC

[Well, Zhaneel is certainly glad that when they have their first face to face you might be less inclined to 'kill now, ask later'. Let her continue to wow you with her feathery abilities of: niceness and tolerance! XD]

My name is Zhaneel.

[Straight and to the point, this one is.]

Might I ask the same?

... do you at least have a chaser of misery. :| catherine_b320 January 12 2011, 04:00:22 UTC

Noble Two.

[Gosh it's just so polite she can't hate it.]

No .. only pure, unmitigated friendship. Served best with hugs and chortles. bondedgryphon January 12 2011, 04:19:30 UTC

[Zhaneel isn't one to question names any longer, having already met her share of interesting namesakes here in Vertiline.]

It is a pleasure, Noble Two.

[After a moments' pause she continues.]

What are your feelings about these people and their cause, Noble Two? Have you any desire to aide in their supposed misfortune?

[Serves you toast covered in politeness and rainbows.]

STUPID CIVILIAN BIRDTHING BEING ALL ADERPABLE IN HER GENERAL DIRECTION. >| catherine_b320 January 12 2011, 08:22:23 UTC

[She shrugs. The motion is an audible one, heralded by the shifting of her armour.]

My feeling is that they are interfering with my duties. Will I help them? If it gets me home faster, perhaps. But I am not their puppet, and they'd do well to remember it.

AWWWW, you think she's ADERP!! Match made in heaven! bondedgryphon January 12 2011, 17:14:11 UTC

[Zhaneel hears that shift and identifies it as what she thinks is a shrug, though without the armor the motion would certainly be unidentifiable.

She makes a soft sound of agreement and nods.]

I would say we are of the same mind in that thought, Noble Two. It would seem that any number of us were in the process of doing something else when we were brought here, and I've a keen mind to get back to that which I was removed from.

[Wow, way to just add to the suspicion that you're some manner of soldier, Zhaneel.]

If by heaven you mean Vertiline... catherine_b320 January 13 2011, 04:27:20 UTC

[Silly bird, soldiering is for Spartans.]

You and everyone else here, it seems. What were you doing of such importance?

[Because honestly, homegirl's a gryphon. What could she possibly be doing rather than flying around and being mythological.]

Well, yes, something like that. }|> bondedgryphon January 13 2011, 17:27:40 UTC

[Silly, Spartan .. well .. no, I ain't got nothin'. lulz]

War. I was helping evacuate our camp to a new home. We were waiting the return of several of ours by Gate, but I was brought here before their status was known.

[That one of those she was waiting for was her mate is one of the worst things about this. That one of those doing battle after being fatally wounded was her Father was right up there as well. No, Zhaneel would reallllly have liked to see them safely home before having been whisked off.]

don't make me come over there ffff catherine_b320 January 13 2011, 19:13:41 UTC

[Well, at least there's that.

And wow, that is sounding circumstantially similar. Except they'd done what evacuating they could before the planet got glassed. Even in the bunker for which Noble Team had been headed, there was no guarantee they'd survive. A glassing was total annihilation. Everything gone. Before Reach, she'd only ever seen the after-effects.]

... For what it's worth, then, I hope you can go home.

[Look, a lack of open hostility, skepticism, or disdain! You really know how to make a Spartan behave, Zhaneel!]
