Their travel towards the border was swift and quiet, the draconic jaguar humming to themself as they moved, mind lost in different times and different lands. The strange new scent reached the kingpin first, unconsciously following after Sam's scent trail before the partially blind being came across the two femmes meeting one another. They were quiet as they came up beside Sam, allowing her room so she wouldn't be surprised by their appearance. Rumbling softly, they turned their half blind gaze to Violet, "Greetings, Violet Ryder. I am Lin Bai, but please call me Bai Shi. I'm the Kingpin of this land, named Alithís Evgenis, my friend. Is there anything that we could help you with?", they spoke, only able to make out the darkness of her pelt and become faint glint of her gilded decorations.

"For a place to stay?" The jaguar would hum, tipping their head slightly as they drew in Violet's scent, "well, Ms. Ryder, you are in luck. We can welcome you to our lands. Do you mind telling us about what you've encountered on your way here? I'm temporarily unable to leave my group for my blindness and I have not encountered many others.", the beast rumbled softly, tail curling over their back. She certainly had an air of elegance, they could feel that much from this short interaction with her. "we will bring you to our inn so that you may rest and take care of any immediate needs. I will personally inform you of what has happened before you have come to us.", they rumbled, turning their head to point deeper into the territory, the breeze ruffling their own dark fur and making them grumble at the chill breeze.
