Re: Pheonix's Thread (Pheonix Alugere)
"Some of both, actually," Flaqus told her, casting a grin at her. "Most people don't even think to ask. You're clever. Generally you can tell who's who and what's what by whether it has a few moving parts. Don't climb the trees with thick vines," he cautioned, winking, "or you might find your perch is a little more invasive than you expected it to be!"
They had arrived at the cavern's depot (or equivalent thereof!) where a wattle and daub structure had been built. A strange-looking creature -- a daemon, obviously -- was hanging from the eaves of the building, but as Flaqus and Pheonix approached, it unfolded to reveal a multitude of long, strangely jointed limbs jutting from a relatively slim torso.
~You're up early, Flaqus.~ Pheonix heard a whisper, though it didn't seem to come anywhere. It was more as if she'd had a fleeting thought in the back of her mind.
The man, however, replied, "don't worry, Syu, I'm not trying to raid your dried fish again. Not this time, anyways," he made a face and got a light smack for it. "Ow! Hey now. Professionalism while you're on the job!"
~You're one to talk, monkey-man. What do you want?~ The spidery daemon did a small dance to turn itself so that its front faced Pheonix. ~Who's this?~
"Syu, meet Pheonix. Pheonix, Syu is in charge of our stores during the night-cycle -- there are three shifts, so you may not find him here all the time. Pheonix was just approved a new member of the cavern... Nest seems very pleased with her. Mind taking those rations?"
The daemon, bowing to Pheonix, reached up with a pair of hands to slip the bulk of the food -- leaving the second collection of chocolate behind -- and deftly untied it to inventory the package's contents. It gave a quiet but physical whistle, then returned its attention to the woman. ~Wow, you've earned your keep, then. Come by any time if you need anything, all you need to do is ask. It's a pleasure meeting you.~
