Eventually Kaida would have more than likely heard some conservation out of range of her vision, as it were blocked by a wall, and that would be followed by the sounds of footsteps. This was apparently the individual that was assigned to be her rider.<br/><br/>"Kaida I presume?" The figure immediately snapped to attention and saluted - an oddity considering that she were there in the fenced off area. The man was quite unusually professional looking, and dressed in a neat jacket that was complimented with a scarf around his neck. One might have thought it were human if not for the slightly blue coloration of his long hair and the points on his ears that jutted out of the same.<br/><br/>In reality, he had been of mixed race himself, which is why he was surprised to be assigned to Kaida. His father was half-human and half-elf and his mother was mostly human, but had enough fae blood running through her veins to make him develop a bit differently than his peers, but not enough to retard his growth or give him wings.<br/><br/>Looking forward he started to speak again, hoping that she would provide the same sort of snappy professionalism that he exuded.<br/><br/>"I am Major Tuigalen of the Dragon Riders Corps; it should be an honor serving with you. You are a black dragon, are you not? I should warn you that means we'll be assigned to a certain...unique corps to make the best use of your abilities."<br/><br/>Strangely, he seemed to be -impressed- by the fact that she was a black dragon. Rather than see her as a superior and cower in fear, or view her as a foreigner to be subjugated, Tuigalen apparently thought that meant that she should be expected to make as skilled an officer as himself.
