Making an Appearance

[Wati]

Wati lifted his hoody over his head as the sun glared at him in the distance. He was told a city was in this direction though not much else. The day was scorching hot a bad decision to wear his normal light blue hoody that bared the mark of a Celtic Sun on his back and black jeans. His black boots were worn down and cracking at the sides.

Keeping a light blue aura that outline his body was difficult for his mind always wanted to slip into painful memories of his friends and loved ones, not to mention the vow the couldn't keep. The crystal on his necklace glowed lightly as the sound of the ocean played around him slightly.

He continued on until reaching what looked like a giant wall. Wati began examine the structure wondering if he could break it, for the wall was in his way to a full nights sleep on a bed and not on the ground like he has been.

[Neve Luna]

The guards above him watched him without a word and waited for him to try and breech the city - if the young man knew what was good for him, he definitely would follow the rules and just walk up to the gate.

Padding softly along the wall, a large snow leopard stopped in her tracks - a dead rabbit hanging from her bloody muzzle - and let her deep orange and gold speckled eyes open wide in shock at a person on the side of the city. With a twitching tail behind her, Neve contemplated going around him but knew he must have already known she was there or wanted to ignore her.

[Wati]

Wati laid his hand on the stone before running his hand over various areas. Though stopped when he heard crunching of snow not far from him. Looking from the wall to the general direction he saw an animal he was unfamiliar with.

Removing his hood as he crouched down to look at this creature face to face. Extending his hand out to show he ment no harm. His facial appearance was slightly rough, like the rest of his body. His forehead looked has a small horizontal slash one that looks like it was self conflicted for the line wasn't completely straight. Silver hair rested on his cheek as the rest of his hair was brown. Experience from his last location he knew not everything is as it seems. Someone who is normally shy or timid could be a fierce warrior, or an animal could be a shapeshifter.

[Neve Luna]

All the muscles in her body tensed up as he ame and knelt in front of her; most all people run away from an animal that they knew nothing about in fear it might be a Prison Creature. Taking a deep, inward breath, her soft pallet rolled over her muscles to release the tension she had in order to be ready for anything - then he extended his hand in a friendly gesture. Lowering her head to the ground, she let the rabbit fall into the powdery snow and lifted it to look into his eyes.

With a single movement toward him, she caught his scent and quickly understood he was no threat. Silent and agile, she grabbed her rabbit and ran toward him - knocking into him gently and issuing him to follow her.

[Wati]

Wati was slightly taken back by her actions that he landed on his butt. It wasn't hard to figure out what she wanted by her gestures. Standing up once more before brushing off the snow that was now stuck to him. Looking at the creature whom wanted him to follow. "Alright. I'll follow you." Wati said before putting his hoody back on top of his head. Without a second thought he began following the animal not sure where exactly she was leading him.

[Neve Luna]

Running around the corner of the wall, Neve trotted to a stop in front of what looked like a cluster of dead bushes and vines and looked back at the man. With her tail swishing behind her, she entered a tunnel-like entrance to the cluster and disappeared inside where it led to a broken hole in the wall.

As she pushed past a painting to get through the hole, she could hear the babbling of the cut people walkin past the ally, ignoring the broken and forgotten stuff left inside.

[Wati]

Wati turned the corner then came to a stop as he watched the animal slipped through the entrance. Wati hesitated before dropping to his arm and knees. A cold chill ran through his body leaving goosebumps in its trail.

Wati took his time as he passed through the entrance that opened up into a dark alley. Slowly he rose to his feet as his eyes darted left and right trying to get his bearings. Broken glass was scattered through out the alleyway as was bags of trash just tossed near the dumpster. A few paintings that looked like it was worth money in his opinion just randomly tossed out. Looking around once more he started to see other things that was just tossed aside like a rag doll. Though what he couldn't see was the animal that he was following.

[Neve Luna]

The figure of a woman stand in the shadows; the dead rabbit at her feet, her long hair blowing to her left. Stepping into the light so that he could see her, she revealed pale moon skin and Tiger lily eyes accompanying a soft smile. "I'm sorry I deceived you, sir, but this is my alternate form." The voice of the young lady was soft and quiet compared to the loud city babble.

[Wati]

Unsure where the leopard had ran off to his guard quickly went back up. Being in a city now one he wasn't sure of. His eyes darted back and forth looking for something. A fierce red glow outlines his body as he would recall certain memories to enrage him. To trigger the earring on his ear. Focusing lightly he channeled the heat to his palms as a light source.

Hearing a voice he quickly turned to see where it was coming from. Listening to her words he exhaled softly allowing the anger to dismiss from his body, which caused the fire in his palms to fade quickly. "Alternative form? Meaning second, you claim the animal being your preferred form?" Wati said as calmly as he could though a hint of anger could still be heard in his tone.

[Neve Luna]

Smiling politely, she nodded. "Yes, the Leopard is my preferred firm but this," she motioned to the rest of her body, "is my natural form - the one I was born into from the Mother Tree." Her aura was bright with kindness but there was a sadness in them. Touching the small gem on her head band that covered her forehead, she gave him a small, apologetic bow. "I'm Neve, forgive me for my rudeness."

Although she knew she didn't owe him anything, she did want to make him less agitated - it radiated off of him life fire and she just wanted to help ease him and put it out.
