In reply to: Kilo 's message, "Greetings traveler.." on 00:48:39 11/24/01 Sat

Lacking the keen eyesight of either of her companions, Mathaira squinted in the relative dimness of the common room in contrast to the blazing fire which flickered in her vision even as she turned away. She followed Kilo's gaze as he intently studied the trio of unlikely travelers which had entered the Inn moments before and now stood along the wall-length fireplace several paces away.

"Who are they?" Mathaira asked Kilo, still straining to adjust to the low light as she peered toward the small group.

The Stegosaurus confessed, "I don't know. I wonder if they're here because of the situation in the Forbiddens." Kilo didn't have to mention the geological problems in the region surrounding Thermala and the ongoing evacuation of nearby villages.

Ajzik, whose involvement with her human parents' running of the The Glacier Ridge Trading Post left her in a position to know the majority of the residents within Thermala and the outlying areas, interjected, "The Gallimimus looks vaguely familiar." The Sabertooth's keen night vision enabled her to see within the dim confines of the Inn's common room as clearly as if it were daylight, however the slender figure of the Gallimimus was partially blocked by her companions, the majestic figure of a Skybax and the slightly larger yet mysterious form of another saurian of indeterminate species.

"I wish that Struthiomimus would move over so you can see if you know the Galli," Kilo addressed Ajzik and raised his head up over his shorter companions.

Mathaira, who could see the somewhat larger form of the mysterious saurian even in the dimness, informed Kilo, "That's not a Struthi! That's a Utahraptor! I've seen plenty of them in the Basin."

Kilo countered, "Nuh-uh! I don't think so, Mathaira. Look at the long neck! And the legs and tail are those of a Struthi! Definitely!"

"But, Kilo..." Mathaira tried to reason with her new found friend, "Just look at those claws and teeth. Those are Utahraptor for sure!"

"Well, there's just one way to find out!" Kilo determined. "Let's go over and introduce ourselves." The orange tinted Stegosaurus blended in with the glowing firelight as he strode toward the small group standing several paces away.

Likewise Ajzik's silken fur glinted with golden highlights from the blazing fire as she nudged Mathaira to follow after Kilo, the human female and the Sabertooth trailing closely in the Stegosaur's wake.

((OOC...Leafy, I loved your description of the Inn and it's interior, especially the fireplace. Even more so, I enjoyed your rather unique perspective on what Thermala residents burn in their fireplaces!))

Blue eyes glanced over and bowed slightly to the newcomers. Kilo, mathaira, and Ajzik looked in awe as they realized this Saurian was not either of the species they thought it was, and even more amazingly, IT WORE ARMOR! he smiled and moved asside alittle so that the others could have more room. "Breath Deep, Seek Peace."

Kilo turned around to see what Mathaira and Ajzik were staring at, he followed their stunend gazed to the Troodon infront of him. Kilo reconised it as the same one curled asleep on the human chair with the two raptors. The troodon this time was covered in chinking armour, the flames rippled off his suit like water (wha?lol).
"Breathe Heavily Seek Pie." the Troodon greeted in scketchy stegosaur tounge, clearly it spoke alot of languages, not many talked to Kil in his native tounge. Kilo smiled and replied in Carnosaur tounge, Blue eyes could be seen to physically relax. Ajzik and Mathaira said their hellos and Ajzik layed down next to the Troodon. Mathaira and Kilo still had a bet though. Mathaira after re-assuring Ajzik she'd be back continued a little way more round the fire, heading towards the bright glow of light that was the fire's glow through a skybax's wing. Kilo, due to his bulky size couldn't very well turn around and talk to mathaira, nor could she walk aside him, it was atight fit through warming bodies and many pardons had to be made on behalf of Kilo's swinging tail. Mathaira wondered why Kilo simply didn't hold it still when he walked. Still she felt it rude to ask.

The skybax peered nerviously at Kilo. Mathaira was now stood by Kilo's side as the duo had stopped walking and come to their desired destination.
Kilo didn't have a clue how to talk Skybax, and he stared dumbly at the creature who was roughly the same size as him. Mathaira didn't seem to know what to say either, Kilo could hear her going through all the "Breathe Deep Seek Peace."'s she knew as the skybax looked increasingly more alarmed by their upfront visit.
"Breathe softly Don't screech." Kilo whistled. He remebered a human friend talking to their friend Arceopterix once. He thought that was the right term at least. Kilo as such couldn't whistle, his beak didn't allow him to purse lips instead it was more of a high pitch noise that came from his voice box. The skybax stumbled backwards both at the terrible accent and the greeting. It was when Mathaira kindly hinted that hatchlings might be trying to sleep did Kilo finally stop his attempts at communication. The Skybax sighed with relief as did the nieghboring family of Eohippus.
"I can speak some saurian." It said bluntly.
"Oh." Said Kilo simply. "Hello my name is Kilo and this is Mathaira. Sorry about the whole communication thing."
"My name is Highsoar. These are my friends Quickstride and Klaw."
Kilo glanced at Mathaira sideways as the other two saurians on hearing thier names ventured forewards. The Gallimimus they previously saw had, to their surprise a plume of feathers ontop it's head, it held a satchel around it's arm.
Kilo turned back towards where Blue Eyes and Ajzik were layed in conversation, Mathaira hopping out the way of his spiked tail just in time. He motioned for them to come over and join them, satisifed that they were on their way over Kilo turned back to the Gallimimus only to find another creature stood beside her.
This creature was roughly the size of a utahraptor, perhaps a little bigger, it's legs were long and slender almost too much so for it's stelthy body. Wicked claws ended each fingar and toe and were accompanied by a rows of sharp teeth. It's tail was held rigid and high behind it and it's neck muscles twitched with anxiety. Kilo wondered what on earth he was but knew better than to ask.
"Breathe Deep Seek Peace." He said smiling. "Who's who?"
"I Klaw." Replied Klaw stopping himself from usuing his new found accent just intime.
"Greetings I'm Quickstride." Replied the Gallimimus.
"My name is Mathaira and this is Ajzik my friend." Anounced Mathaira as her saber toothed friend pulled up aside her. Blue eyes stood to the left of Kilo now and introduced himself too, then did Kilo. They all spoke in carnivore tounge although the majority of them weren't.
"Well I know for certain you aren't from around here, where are you from?" Kilo asked begining to lie down, careful not to upset the Eohippus family. Kilo had the sort of effect that rippled and very soon everyone else was begining to seat themselves in a circle. Klaw sat opposite Kilo and studied his bright plates and spiked tail with great interest. Soon a long friednly conversation erupted about where everyone came from and of course the situation that faced them. Half way through the conversation Mathaira gave Kilo a nudge and a human smile, Kilo chuckled he knew she meant they both had lost the bet.

After the moon was halfway to the top of the sky they saw the small and large figures of two raptors aproaching them. Kilo reconised these two also.

(That bit can be altered or deleted, if Azzy and Mist you didn't plan on meeting up with us here.)

Quickstride frowned at the news of the volcano, which is very hard to do for someone with no lips. "Blackfeather is right under Mt. Helios. The old volcano," she said. She turned to her travelling companions, Klaw and Highsoar. "Well, I don't know about you, but there's no choice for me. After some rest tonight I'll have to get supplies in the morning and trek up there immediately to warn the tribe." She groaned a little in spite of herself. "This was supposed to be my vacation!"

Blue Eyes looked at the Galli and smiled "I'll help if i can. I understand what its like to be away from home during a disaster." He smiled and lowered his head alittle. "Were is your clan anyways QuickStride?"

Mathaira watched Kilo's gaze much as she had done earlier, this time focusing on two saurian figures, possibly raptors as far as she could tell in the dim light. "I suppose you know them too?", she said half jokingly, though she wouldn't be surprised if the gregarious Stegosaur actually did.

"Well, they do look familiar." Kilo peered intently at the pair who had just entered the Inn. "There's only one way to find out", Kilo determined with a swish of his tail, careful not to disturb the Eohippus young one dozing at his family's feet in front of the blazing fire.

Knowing what was coming, Mathaira rolled her eyes just a bit and gave a barely audible sigh, mentally preparing herself for trailing after her friend Kilo again. As before Mathaira begged pardon of the assembled patrons as Kilo seemingly unaware swung his tail to and fro as his bulky frame stode across the common room towards the raptors.
