She's directed out to the back yard of the manor, a fairly spacious, grassy area, ringed by a high, stone wall. Nearby, there's an open, paved area, with a few racks of practice weapons, ringing it. As she makes her way over to it, she spots a massive, eight-foot tall man, with six arms, his lower body that of a snake, coiled up in one corner of the training yard, a large, black headband, covering his eyes completely. Despite his blindness, however, he sits up a bit, as Ruby approaches, looking towards her. "Hmm, roses... might you be the elf I'm to train?" he asks, once she's about fifteen or twenty feet away.
