―――― Nanohana was certainly a sight for someone like Atticus, whose familiarity with mythical creatures and powers were, while present through his life, was not prepared for something like this. He had seen and met many people in his lifetime, many with strange capabilities, friends, or families that were deemed otherwise 'uncommon', but this was a first. A dragon, but not just a dragon- no, the dragon wasn't even necessarily the forefront of the matter- a feline, one speaking a tongue that he did not recognize, perched atop the great beast and treating it as though it were a tiny little kitten. He wasn't sure what drew him forth in the first place; perhaps the low rumble of the dragon, the shadow of a wing overhead, or the woman calling out across the plains of the Ascendants, but he was there, quickly approaching the border with sure and steady steps as the melanistic jaguar stared up at the face of the dragon and the oriental feline now waiting. "Welcome to the Ascendants," he spoke quickly as he crossed the last few feet to be in front of the woman, sitting his haunches down as he straightened himself up properly. For a moment, his steely golden-eyed gaze found the woman's dragon, eyeing the creature for a moment before he looked back. Hopefully, this woman meant no harm. She'd be a valuable asset if she stayed, and a hell-ish enemy if she didn't. Thankfully, it seemed his luck held out as she herself took the first step in asking for a place within the clan. "You are welcome, of course," he answered smoothly, dipping his head at the seemingly familiarity the woman had with Clan business and perhaps the repetitive border greetings. "First, though, your name? And that of your companion?" He gave a moment pause before continuing on, at least being fair. "I am Atticus, the Astral Seraph of the Ascendants. You are welcome to any lodging within the observatory, though if you need further accommodations for your dragon, we can figure that out as well."
