Used to the First and Forsaken Lion's<em>Chamber</em>, sucu stays in the shadows, biding time by playing in her imaginary world where she is subjected to things that would make others quake in terror.  She hardly notices the passage of time--until her Master strides into the chamber, dragging Princess Feathers behind him.  A smile quirks her lips as she remembers past events--and to see Princess Feathers treated so!  Watching the Black Heron, sucu enjoys the mix of emotions as she listens to her Master.  Her head snaps to him when she hears that something's been... lost.<br/><br/>Well, her Master knows she wouldn't have any questions.  She uses her Principle of motion to detach from time and prepare the crew of the Darkstar while still having the opportunity to listen to the group.  Sucu cocks her head as two decline from questioning the Lion, and thinks of the third's questions.<em>What use would they have of a warstrider?  And I wonder...  Master's wise to keep it out of his fortress.</em><br/><br/>The third figure doesn't answer, but walks right out.  Sucu's head cocks to the side as she considers all of the reasons why she did it.  With a shrug, she watches the next person bow before leaving, following the example of the former.  And finally the last bows even deeper.<em>Is he trying to outdo them?</em><br/><br/>With a shrug, she follows them out, trying to fix names to each member of the group.  Listening to the talk about the warstrider itself and how to infiltrate the city, sucu continues to help make the Darkstar ready until finally there is one last crate to be loaded.  Sucu snaps back into the flow of time, and after stretching to hide the weird sensation doing that always gives her she hops onto the crate.<br/><br/>Looking up from her perch, she cocks her head at the Engineer.  "I know you're not talking to me, hunny," she says with a smile on her lips.  "I'm your link back to the First and Forsaken Lion.  A leash, more or less."  Her tongue licks slowly over her lips as she surveys the group.<em>Perhaps more</em>.<br/><br/>Sucu hops off the crate, stepping closer to the Engineer and the rest of the group, chains jingling as they connect piercings.  From one of them, she brings out a crystal that the First and Forsaken Lion made to teach people how to summon her.  "I'm bound to the Lion to check in with his followers and carry messages.  And as such, you're obligated to use me to communicate with the First and Forsaken."<br/><br/>Her hairless head catches the light, reflecting it as if her red skin were reptilian.  Contrary to the altered skin color of the rest of her race, her eyes are the same, full black and pupiless.  With slim fingers, her dainty hand holds out the memory crystal to the Engineer since he wants to hurry to his work.  "Would you learn to summon me?"
