[ Sesshoumaru was doing his usual rounds of the city, mostly seeing if there were more zombies to fight, when he comes across another newcomer. Just his luck -- hopefully this one would not bother him for information he did not particularly wish to share with them. Still, he paused in his stride, turning to face the person and take in their scent, just to make sure they're not a threat. ]

[ Those ears, that skin. Guess what he thought he was? One of his light-skinned brethren, naturally. So he's not really too keen on the idea of showing his face. but it was obvious they both knew the other was standing there. He's nothing close to a threat, honestly.

He DOES want information though, but he won't ask just yet. Instead he moves out from his hiding place to expose himself. Assuming some sort of aggression. ]

[ Sesshoumaru looks him up and down, assessing him. He knows that he himself may not look a thread (being one-armed doesn't really make you look butch) but he also knows that he is extremely dangerous; he won't let appearances sway him. Still, this newcomer smells different and he doesn't like that. He's just going to stare, assessing him with cold eyes. ]

[ Well the pressure was on. Apparently this one just wanted to have a staring contest with him, he could handle that well enough. Even if that penetrating gaze could easily instill fear into the drow. Not from the other man's looks, but simply from past experiences. There was a clear feeling of danger, mistrust and caution between the two of them. Violet eyes were unwavering, and after a long, heated pause, he spoke, ]

I am Drizzt Do'Urden. It seems I was taken to this place unknowingly, I only wish to find a place to rest and dry off. [ and if he could stay there that would be awesome, too. ]

[ Yeah, he really needed a speech prepared right about now. He doesn't want to scare the girl away on the off chance she really does know he's there. and isn't just randomly admiring trees. Pretty obvious she isn't, so he steps out slowly, carefully. Wishing Guen was with him to ease the tension. ]

It..is isn't it?

[ Dude, if you think you look weird, the marionette following this boy is freaky. He hasn't noticed YOU yet, Drizzt, but... well. The Marionette (named Nirvana) immediately senses you, turning in the direction of the presence in the shadows the Nox Nyctores weapon senses. The child with it blinks, and looks startled, as he had been conversing with said marionette as if it were speaking back while walking, and he stops as well, turning in Drizzt's direction. ]

... Eh...? What's wrong, Sis? ... Huh...? Someone... over there?!

[ Carl stays where he is. ] ... You should probably come out, I can tell you're there--my sister can sense you. So there's really no use hiding, whoever you are...

[hunterinside]

[ Well that's terrifying.

but, since he really doesn't want to risk starting a fight, he'll come out despite that mild fear. ]

My name is Drizzt Do'Urden. I don't mean you any harm..

[cantataofgrace]

[ ... Well, the marionette? Yes, it is very terrifying. The small child next to it? Er, not so much. Though the boy seems to consult the puppet before saying anything, nodding. ]

... Hm? Ah, you're right, Sis... he must be new. He's wet, too, and he has a fairy, like us...

[ As you can see by the purple one bobbing near Carl's head, he too has a fairy. The young boy's tone is a lot more neutral and polite, now, and the short, brief glimpse of the frightening, paranoid, slightly psychotic side of the child is gone. It has been replaced with a polite bow, the boy removing his hat as he introduces himself. Manners are paramount. ]

My name is Carl Clover. ... My apologies for my behavoir, but I'm a vigilante. ... If I might be able to inquire a bit further... why were you hiding? New people arrive here very often, so it isn't as though you would have been all that out of place with the rest of us, after all.

[hunterinside]

[ the change in demeanor manages to calm the drow only the slightest bit, though he looks somewhat wary of the marionette the boy was speaking to previously. He bows a bit in return, violet eyes never leaving the boy. The words hit something in him, and he looks utterly perplexed. ]

I am...not use to such kind welcomes.
