Willow Tree March -- Visit

[number nine.]

Yet another visitor on their territory. That was hardly all that exciting on its own, considering the amount of visitors they were prone to getting. What was exciting, however, was just how interesting this visitor seemed to be. Most of the time, when someone came to visit, they were just some kind of average animal. Most of the time, it was also someone like Bai Shi, coming with alliance news or some kind of proposal. This time, however, it was just a wanderer. Not only a wanderer, but an elk. Nine knew elks to be incredibly majestic creatures, and that certainly seemed to be the case when he got a look at the other, even from afar. In addition to that, Bahano was also claiming that he was a god. This was hardly the first time that Number Nine had heard such a claim, but usually those that did say such things were pretty interesting. Even if, on occasion, they were just boisterous assholes too far up their own assholes to see that they were as normal as the rest. However, Bahano didn't give Nine that impression. Or at least, not at first.

Nine came to hover nearby, slowly circling around Bahano and inspecting him, the male's gaze lingering on the other's horns for a while, just to take in how majestic they were. When the winged jaguar eventually came in for a landing, he grinned sharply, saying with a chuckle, "Bahano the god, huh? That's a pretty snazzy title that you've got there... if you're a god, that means you've got special powers, right? You got anything cool that you can show us, to prove it?" Number Nine's gaze had a faint mischievous gleam to it, and the male couldn't deny that he was excited. Even if Bahano just showed off your average dollar store powers, that would still be pretty interesting to watch – and privately laugh at, considering the others would probably be floored. While waiting for a response from the elk, Nine tacked on as well, his tail twitching, "Oh, my name's Number Nine, by the way. No special godhood, just your average bounty hunter and warrior living here in Palmclan." Nine found himself wondering if, in the past, anyone he had hunted considered themselves to be a god. Well, even if they had, that had certainly been proven wrong when he had come around.
