A groan would escape the young woman's lips, something soft nudged her, a soft screech.  An armored hand rose up to shield sensitive eyes form the bright morning sunlight, she chill of the autumn air a welcome feeling, it reminded her of home.  "Alright Arashi, tis best we get on the move.  I understand your meaning my friend." Yugiri would speak, her tone soft, caring as gauntleted claws scratched the top of the birds head, Yugiri would heave a soft grunt sliding off of the branch she and her Yol had slept on to avoid attention, pearly white spiked tail swaying about behind her, green eyes scanning the countryside and horizon.  Woodlands, plains in their last throes before the Winter would come., a part of the young Shinobi longed for the Bamboo, the sounds of the Ruby Sea, this please was not Aethyrse...that much was clean to her!  "We are far from home...that much is clear Arashi, we must gather information, find allies.  Find a place to stay.  Will you be my eye in the sky?" Yugiri would ask to the bird above her, a loud screech would sound through the morning air, a cry of a beast unfamiliar to this land, "Thank you my friend...fly swift as the wind." Yugiri would say stepping out onto the road, the MAMMOTH bird taking wind, to the skies, if one were close-by, they would feel a change in the pressure of the wind form the birds mighty wings.

The change of pressure did not last long however, green eyes closed in thought.  'Where should I go? I think Arashi had indicated an encampment nearby...possibly a village.  I should start heading that way.' Yugiri thought to herself, the windle tussled long Raven locks in the wind, sun shining dully off of purple and black armor and chain, equipment strange to one of her profession, daggers secured at her waist, footsteps crunching on dirty and grass.

Yugiri slowly became aware, someone....someTHING was following her.  With grace the Shinobi continued down her path, her Aurals trained to the cadence of the other person's footsteps, if they quickened, it could mean an incoming attack.  "My body feels...somehow heavier here, a truly curious feeling.  Gauntleted hand would come up, finger's tapped against scaled chin in thought attempting to appear unaware of her follower, best not to give away her hand so quickly.  "Hopefully Arashi comes to me with news soon, perhaps I will find a scholar...a merchant of sorts." Yugiri continued musing too herself.

At a distance one might assume from the pearly white scales, the horns and tail that they had come across some sort of monster, however they may find pause as they began to notice more and more humanoid traits on the mysterious traveler.
