The faint footfalls were soon followed by the sound of soft singing from around a nearby bend.
[i]almajidu, almajdu, almjd liman yasir li fi tajwali.
almjid, almujid, almjd lilmalik aldhy yarshaduni ealaa tariqiin[/i]
The footsteps grew louder, now with the metallic clank and click of armored boots being audible. A few moments later, the careful listener would have heard cloth rustling in the wind, a series of small clicks, and the slither of leather sliding across metal and cotton, followed by the sharp tap of a bit of metal bouncing against other metal.

Edited by Nightingale: 1/11/2018 4:08:27 AMSuzume looks around for the source of the sound, her hand remaining on her scabbard out of precaution. She scans her surroundings with her one eye, somewhat on edge after hearing the sounds, as well as the soft singing.
-
Down the road and around the bend emerges the source of the singing. A humanoid in sliver armor, with a white tunic over it and a sword belted at his side, the hilt gleaming faintly. I say humanoid, for the person was most certainly not human. He had red skin, the color of bricks in an oven, with a pair of large horns like an antelope’s growing out of his forehead, starting just about his golden eyes, and pushing through his unruly mane of dark red hair, which came down to about halfway down his neck.
-
Suzume’s eye catches movement in the distance, and she turns and spots the figure in the distance, instantly recognizing that they were not human. Her intrigue was immediately apparent, and her hand strayed away from her scabbard. She shifted her weight to one side as she studied the figure in the distance, watching them intently.
-
He continued on his way, smiling and waving a hand in greeting when he spotted her, though she noticed he also shifted his left arm slightly to be in a better position to quickly grab the shield on his back if necessary.
-
Suzume greeted him with a traditional courteous bow, after which she stepped down from the ridge, slowly approaching the figure in the distance, each stride graceful and full of energy. She now noticed the figure in the distance did not appear to be human as she approached him, and her curiosity only grew more.
-
When they got within about ten feet of each other, he smiled again and returned the bow, albeit more clumsily in armor. “Hello and good day to you.”
-
“Greetings, and a good day to you as well.” Suzume returns his smile, her golden lion-like tail twitching around. “What brings you to the edge of the forest?”
-
“Simply traveling through, what of yourself?” His eyebrows pop up ever so slightly at the sight of the tail, but return to normal a moment later.
-
“Enjoying the serenity and the view. And the quiet. City is far too noisy for my liking.”
-
“I agree. It’s much more pleasant out in the natural world.”
-
Suzume nods, looking around and smiling a bit. “Yes, it is vey lovely. Nothing beats it, it seems.”
-
“Some things do, but not much. I’m Ali by the way.”
-
She turns to him and nods. “Suzume Hiroshi. I am just a wandering ronin, traveling across all manner of distant and faraway lands.”
-
“Well I’m in much the same boat, a paladin with neither a church nor a master, but I make it work.” He says with a shrug and a chuckle.
-
“As do I. Fitting that we should be of similar backgrounds and run into each other in such a serene place..”
-
“Fate has a sense of humor, at least some of the time.”
-
“Indeed...though in my experience, fate has led to destruction and heartbreak, but I shall not speak about that..”
-
“Never said it wasn’t a cruel humor, but I can’t change it, so why waste time mourning the fact.” He says with a shrug.
-
Suzume nods. “Agreed..” She then turns to the side, gazing around again and slowly reaching up and removing her large black jingasha, revealing her feline ears.
-
He cocks his head ever so slightly to the side in curiosity, then shrugs as he remembers his own appearance and makes no comment. “So are you traveling to anywhere?”
-
“At the present, no. I only arrived here recently, and I intend to stay for some time. Whether or not that proves to be detrimental to me or not is yet to be seen.”
-
“Well, it’ll be nice to see you around.”
