He lightly scoffed. He did a bow, placing his hand over his heart, had it actually beat, maybe it would've been more touching. "Ex human and demon, Thomas Valiet, at your service." It was so strange and yet so bizarre, that he was so gentlemanly to her.

"You'd be better staying wary, instead of so trusting so quickly. Because I'll be asking a favor soon that you may not enjoy." He exhaled deeply, and the wind blew strongly. It was strange, truly, as he was a creature of death, was able to control life as he wished, but he didn't. He looked like he remembered something. "Oh... I remember you now! That's right... You were accused of treason! You didn't listen to someone and got your-" he coughed to stop himself.

He cackled lightly. He might have a feast soon, and not one of bread and meat... But of flesh and bone. Truth be told, he had lost most- if not all of his humanity, so he wouldn't have a single drop of regret killing whatever was coming

The Queen had tipped her head at the man before her as he bowed, smiling regally. He had said he was a demon...interesting. Kayuu had never met one before.

As he blurted out of her past criminal record, her smile fell into a deep scowl and her eyes hardened. How dare he say something like that out loud! Was he trying to embarrass her?

"Pardon my sudden change of emotions, but I'd rather you not speak of that time. The charges have been dropped against me. Then again, there's no one else to carry out as so."

His outburst reminded her of her younger sister. Brash and rude.

The sound of snapping twigs and crushing dead leaves soon drifted towards them. Caused by something, something large, running through the trees. Gabriel, in the form of a black wolf standing at least ten feet at the shoulders, was hurrying towards them for reasons unknown. In fact, he didn't even know they were all there until he stumbled upon them and slid to a stop. His flame red eyes looked from one to another as his shaggy black fur started to raise on end. He did not know if they meant any harm or not, and for now, would remain on guard. Of course, other then his fur, he did nothing to harm them.

The sudden noises caused her head to roll over and her eyes widened at the beast. Indeed, today had become so strange.

All of these strangers around her had been a bit overwhelming, making her hold her head in discomfort. A migraine had started.

"And, I believe we have encountered another," she gestured at the wolf.

Thomas cackled. His laughter would make the strongest men's blood curdle and corpses turn in their graves, that's only to say partially what his cackle does. The dust of the dead leaves and withered wood had begun to fly into the sky gently. "It appears so." He said. "But this time, its a beast, though not entirely... " Thomas had never truly seen a lycanthrope before, nor one cursed with it, but it seems today was different.

He crossed his arms. The presence, though there wasn't anything visible, still lingered there. Thomas grew impatient, and with his body imploding into smokes, he saw everything. It was multiple people casting cloaking magic. His body returned, but a few feet from where he was. He walked up to Kayuu and whispered the situation. "So... What'll it be little miss crimson? Shall I have a feast all to myself?"

His laughter startled her, her spine shivering in fear.

'He's insane....' She thought as he dissipated in wispy strands.

As he returned, she let out a deep sigh. It seems he wasn't going to leave her alone. When he lent over and whispered what was going on around them, she gave him an uncertain side-glance before subtly looking around. Indeed, there had seemed to be this weird sensation of being surrounded.

"If you must...but I'd like to speak with one of them. I want to know why we had been spied on."

There was no point in telling no to Thomas. She knew he was stronger than he looked and her migraine was clouding her thoughts.

Gabriel gave a low growl at the other's chilling laugh. His senses told him this was the sort of person he wanted to be around, and from the looks of it, the others didn't like it either. The demon's presence almost reminded him of his time as a child, when his father was alpha of his pack...when he killed his mother. This thought only made Gabriel's growl intensify. For most, the sight of a ten foot tall black wolf with red eyes growling in such a manner would be terrifying, yet, it didn't last long. Gabriel shifted, taking the shape of a tall man with black hair, and the same flame red eyes. HIs expression though, was still one of distrust. He had yet to notice the feeling of some other presences around them.

"By Lasae, what are you?!"

He would ask, as the dark orange glow of his phoenix companion finally appeared next to him. The phoenix had taken a slow flight to examine what was happening with the slowly dying trees. After landing on Gabriel's shoulder, however, he figured it out.

Kayuu was a bit surprised to see the giant wolf shift into a human, but it quickly faded away. The phoenix that landed on his shoulder was beautiful in all it's warm colors.

"Interesting," she commented, "As I had said before, Thomas, I allow you to do your bidding in my presence. Just please, don't make such a mess and leave one for questioning."
