Gentle amusement filled the jaguar as they walked, more than happy to let the smaller femme enter the building before them, mentally naming her scent. Their blindness could be similar to a curse, brought upon them by Goldie and battles of their own in the time since then. Their chest still ached from where Warringkingdom's arrow had hit them, even months after it had scared over. That raid ... by the gods, that was one of the worst times that they had ever been present for a battle, and they had lost a loved one there. Shaking their head slightly, the beast rumbled in content as they entered the inn, warm scents and the feeling of familiarity sweeping over them and enveloping them tightly.

Each pawstep echoed around the lobby, not too loud but not too quiet to be a mouse's footfall, reminding them that they had their claws engaged, force of habit when walking outside. Exhaling quietly, they sheathed their claws, licking their chest fur swiftly, embarrassed by having forgotten to sheathe their claws. Her question reached them through the memories threatening to overwhelm their mind, their jaws cracking open to answer her, "Like history? Yes, our history and lists of our members throughout the years. We also keep records of weather, soil, trades, and star charts here - we enjoy collecting information and learning from it," they purred softly, pleased to explain of their home's records and talents.

Turning their head as Sam entered, they greeted her with a soft rumble, dipping their head to the wolf, "How was your walk, Sam? This is Fakhira Cipher and she's going to be staying with us for a while," they explained before returning their attention back to Fakhira with a soft chuckle, "The name of this group is Alithís Evgenis, feel free to make yourself comfortable here, Fakhira. We are more than happy to help you with anything that you may need. Please keep your eyes out for a meeting later this month.", they murmured as they took a short break to decide upon the words that they wanted to use to explain the group's current situation with hostiles. It would be better for her to know about it now, rather than to be thrown into the flames later. "There is also something that I would like to tell you about, Fakhira, if you'll take the moment to listen to me." they murmured quietly, motioning to the stairs up to the second level of the inn. There was nothing to hide from Sam, but it might help Fakhira to see more of the territory from one of the balconies, and to explain in a peaceful place without many bodies, that the group was fighting bandits at every turn.
