[h2][color=00aeef]Alexandro[/color][/h2] [@Aspen Wren] [@FallenTrinity] As the flaming leopard caught up to them, another figure approached Alex the shadows from his height drawing his attention before he had ever heard a noise. Alex looked up at an impressively large man, with slightly crimson skin and smile on his face that spoke of fox like cunning. Alex cocked his head slightly at the man asked him about his reason for being here. Alex raised an eyebrow and laughed, pointing down at the path in front of him. [color=00aeef]"Why the path came through here of course! And what brings you to this curve in the path? Following the path or coming for conversation?"[/color] He paused for a moment, noticing the rather intense gaze the man seemed to be giving him. [color=00aeef]"Ah if you intend to eat me, I must warn you I doubt that I would be particularly tasty. Too stringy you know?"[/color] He let out a laugh to let the man know that he wasn't being serious. He turned his head away from the slightly red man as the flaming leopard completed its approach, flicking its tail and nodding to the other man beside him. Alex watched in open fascination as the flaming leapord, bathed itself in flames once more and transformed into an attractive, curvy woman. She introduced herself as Laurel and responded to his banter with some of her own. She smiled warmly and spoke with a tone that matched perfectly with a surrounding forest. And Alex could clearly see the fires still burning in her eyes, never dwindled just changed. Alex looked on, slightly stunned as she turned away and called out to them in Turkish. Snapping back to attention he called back out to her also in Turkish [color=00aeef]"Çok uzun , güzel Laurel. Her zaman parlak yakmak."[/color] He looked at her as she left, before turning back to the the apparent Dragon. He eyed him with interest, and then behind him before speaking casually. [color=00aeef]"You are not as large as I might have expected. Also, are you aware there is some sort of horned winged lion behind you?"[/color]
