YOUR DECEPTION // Tanglewood visitors

[BLOODHOUND.]

Bloodhound had carried a basket of their own, filled with herbs, berries, and bits of jewelry, salvaged from the junkyard. They had polished the gold and silver themself. Bloodhound held the handle between sharp teeth, their mask pushed up slightly so that they may use their jaws.

They knew little of The Typhoon, beyond that they had experienced the worst of the meteor strike. The memory of that day fills them with a chill, an acute sort of horror. They could only imagine how much worse it was for them, after everything Tanglewood lost in its aftermath.

They follow closely beside Vigenere, walking at the savannah's pace. They were aware that their strides were a bit longer than the cat's, and they didn't want to be rude, and outpace their newly appointed General. They watch, as they arrive at a gate, as Vigenere reaches a paw out to ring a bell. A spotted cat makes her way over, and Bloodhound immediately notices that she's blind. As she greets them in a tongue they don't recognize, they place the basket upon the ground, making it easier for them to speak.

"Góðan daginn. It is true, we come with news."

They look to Vigenere, letting him speak for himself.

THE TRUE TEST IS BEFORE THE ALLFATHER.
