Ilijas regarded the four that had joined him with something akin to a casual smile, his hatred for chitchat and smalltalk temporarily forgotten in favor of the promise of new companions. His mothers and Beverly were his only living friends at this point, though his relationship - friendship - with the latter was still very much in its developing days. His innate desire to wander often and to wander far left him with little to no desire to truly establish himself amidst others and thus, he understood wholeheartedly that his lack of friends stemmed entirely from himself. He was alone but alas, he was not lonely - there was a certain comfort that he found within the wilderness, its sprawling trees and snow-capped mountains all he truly needed to be at peace.

But he was happy to be here, resting tired paws near a beach that presented him with a rather new and interesting muse. Forests and mountains were a softer type of medium for him, the hazy greens and grays providing him with more relaxation than anything else. The bright azure colored ocean in combination with the white sand was so starkly different than what he was used to and he had made several mental notes to bring his camera down there for some lovely shots the moment he had an opportunity.

For now, he had a different sort of responsibility- one that included greeting the members of Sunhaven that had approached him with something more than a silly little smile. [color=gray]"Hey! Yeah I remember you- I have a great memory," Ilijas extended easily in Jericho's direction, [color=gray]"And yessiree. I'm a traveling photographer and I love it. If any of you ever need any pictures taken, just ask me! I'm always itching for clients." His gaze would pass from Jericho to Ishayu, faint curiosity dancing within his dark eyes. She didn't seem to regard him with any negative emotion in particular, but there certainly wasn't that same warmth that Jeri had received. Oh well, sometimes it just had to be that way. [color=gray]"Nice to meet you!" He responded pleasantly enough, unbothered completely.

It was Monroe that truly sparked his interest, mouth parting in awe as he drank in the sight of the mutated feline. [color=gray]"Listen... listen- I know we just met and all but can I take your picture sometime? I have this great idea for a shoot right by the ocean and it would be so cool! Trust me on this one! Anyways, it's nice to meet you!" Ilijas' excited chatter did not subside as he turned briefly away from Monroe to greet Gordon. [color=gray]"Hey there, nie to meet 'cha." She seemed a bit nervous but that did little to damper the suddenly chipper behavior of Ilijas. No, no, he was still too intrigued by Monroe and the possibility of an absolutely killer photoshoot.
