[QUOTE="InVinoVeritas, post: 3293327, member: 41485"] [b]Hieran[/b] Hieran marvels at the creature before him. Skeleton or other animated corpse? Skinny enough, probably, but too willful and lively. Some bizarre amalgam of evil? She does not conform to any of the standard configurations of denizens from beyond. Some form of shifter? He knows of creatures that could masquerade as human, but they never require masks... That, more than anything, concerns him. A monster typically hides its form until it attacks. Why would she reveal herself in such a banal manner? She responds to Hieran's statement by sticking her paws on her hips and petulantly stamping her foot (humanoid foot--she is not an animal shaper). She crosses her arms and plops herself down by the wall (ignoring the position of the tail--it is an unfamiliar part of her form), next to the oblivious couple. Her companion lets out a muffled chuckle, looks at Hieran, and moves on down the walkway, in the direction that Darian went. She turns back to Hieran to see if he follows. Hieran looks one last time at the pouting creature. What would it mean if she were not some fell beast, but just a gnome after all?
