Before the Saurian even had a chance to speak, a Griffon landed on the dock next to Kali with a fish in her beak and proceeded to slowly slice it open without any regard for passersby. Where most others would have turned away in disgust, Kali was overjoyed. Her work involved watching manticores hunt, and quarry eels lying in wait for a meal, but she was never standing mere meters away from them while they ate. She managed to rein in her excitement and just made a soft 'squee' noise. She watched in interest, then slight disgust which quickly reverted to interest. The griffon suddenly stopped, as if realizing she had made some big mistake and turned to smile at her, which Kali had to admit was a little unsettling.
"I'm sorry, my friend, I just got a little carried away there... Um, you said you were looking for the Explorer's League ship?" the griffon asked. Kali nodded. "Well, you found it. The Swamp Witch's Pride. A beauty, don't you think? Let's see, Armand up there's the captain of this fine vessel, and me, well, my full title is Lt. Commander Red, but please, just call me Rosie. I'm in the Royal Guard; Twilight sent me to keep everyone safe from nasty beasties and the like... Anyway, you're the first of the civilians to arrive at the ship, and there'll be plenty of time for introductions once the whole group has assembled." Rosie flapped her wings, in the process splashing a bit of blood on Kali's coat, though she didn't seem to notice.
"Oh, perfect! Just... Try not to be too aggressive with the 'beasties'. That's why I'm here!" She exclaimed, pushing off the ground to stand on the tips of her hooves for a moment. She made an odd face, then chuckled. "I mean, I'm not here to be aggressive to them, I study them. That my thing. The more dangerous the better!" Kali grinned like a maniac. "Anyways, my name is Kali, expert on creatures of all sorts, but especially the predators!" she said, puffing out her chest and holding a hoof to it proudly. "I imagine there will be plenty of that type of thing where we're heading."
