The ocelot landed on the outer edges of the Ascendant’s territory, her body slowly floating down until her paws made firm contact with the ground. It took quite a bit of practice with Bai Shi to learn how to levitate with her air elemental powers – and even more effort to effectively use it for long distance travel! – but she managed.

She managed well enough that she brought a small tote bag with her, which overflowed with bags of marshmallows. Inside, though, were airtight bags of loose leaf green teas – and a small clay tea set. Rosemary didn’t know if the Ascendants knew anything about teas, but it seemed customary to bring a gift for these ally visits. And after the business with the Tanglewoods… well, she wanted it made absolutely clear that she came in peace, if the herb-scented satchel at her shoulder didn’t make that clear enough on its own.

“Hello, Ascendants! I’m Rosemary, from the Rosebloods. I’d just like to check in with all of you and share some gifts for the holiday season,” the four-eyed feline called out. Her voice, soft and raspy, failed to carry on the wind. But she was used to repeating herself, anyway.

Clarence had seen more than a few strange things since his arrival in this land. He wasn't sure how to explain any of it other than to fall back on the fact that magic must run through this entire world. He'd seen beasts that had been extinct for centuries, there were talking animals with complex communities, and he'd even seen creature of mythic proportions, such as a dragon. It was all quite a bit to take in but he thought he was starting to adjust. The dinosaurs had really thrown him off the first few times he spoke to her, but after he met a dragon too, that seemed pretty mild. At this point, the strangeness of this world was all relative to the other things he'd seen. That was why he didn't react quite as badly as only might expect him to when confronted with a four eyed feline. Perhaps even his stubborn mind was subject to change. Hearing the woman's words, he made no comment or even expression when he noticed the amount of eyes she had, and instead offered a light smile. "Thank you so much, that is very thoughtful of you. My name is Clarence Aston, it's a pleasure to meet you Rosemary."
