gladly feast on all those who would dare to try and subdue us
If they notice, they both remain undaunted. It is not that they are incapable of feeling fear or trepidation, no, but that both are such earnest followers of Mort and his herald that even if the worst were to occur, there would be nothing to regret as they were taken into the arms of the ether. Certainly neither would go down without a fight either, Dragoons to the end, misplaced though they may be. For now, there is only the smallest bit of exploration that they can achieve with the glow of their torch - an exploration that ends abruptly, stone and tree creating an impenetrable wall that halts the pair.
Before any other ideas can arise - if not through, then around or up? - a sound attracts the ears of both dragon and woman, and as a unit they turn to try and find that which has created it. There's no need to hunt for long. The cat is out of place and magnetic, even shrouded in darkness. Riya trills a greeting in reply, though it is quiet in comparison; not tentative, for the dragon is incapable of such self-consciousness, but wary perhaps. Anju lays a hand to her sister's shoulder and moves closer to the cat. "Hello," she says plainly, for lack of any other idea. For all she has read of these creatures (and not much, as Anju is not particularly bookish either) she has never encountered one, and isn't sure exactly what to do.
