Meiranis snorted at the girl's 'intimidating' response, and continued on his way. She was surprisingly quiet for much of the way, that was fine with him. Talkative little brats made him lose his appetite. Well, for a minute anyways.<br/><br/>He stopped in his tracks when he heard her speak, suddenly enough that she might have ran into his back. He turned on heel, giving her a deathly serious look. She didn't even know; her eyes were shut tightly. He took hold of her jawbone with one hand, lifting it so she would face him. "You humans likely have tales about what happens to those who trespass here. Even if you don't, you will find out soon enough."<br/><br/>The sharp scream of a hawk drew his attention from the lady. The brown bird swooped down, landing gently on Meiranis' extended arm. He glanced over at Anna, wondering how to make her keep from running off. He put one clawed finger on her head, pushing her down far enough so he could hold the chain with his boot while he read. He unraveled the scroll attached to the hawk's leg and began to read. His expression changed as he read from calm and collected to slightly irritable. "I swear, he can<span style="font-style: italic">smell</span>the human on me." he grumbled to himself.<br/><br/>He took a gander at his new pet, finally noticing the pack she carried on her back. Without permission, as he needed none, he opened it and began rummaging through it, looking for a quill and some paper. "What you were thinking when you brought all this junk along with you is beyond me." he muttered to the girl, pulling out some frilly undergarments by mistake. Well,<span style="font-style: italic">hopefully</span>mistake. He glanced back down at her, looking for a reaction. He snickered, letting go of them to drop on her head and cover much of her face.<br/><br/>Once he found the paper, he wrote his response and tied the message to the hawk's leg, and set it free again. He stooped down and took hold of the chain again, grinning at Anna the whole time as he pulled her to her feet. "Lucky you, you get to meet another incubus tonight. Be good, and maybe he won't find a reason to slaughter you. Trust me when I say, compared to him, I am the merciful one."
