Welcome to Gaia! :: [Edel RP] Oh, the places you've been

As the female seemed to make it without too much trouble, Jynn found himself amused and pleased. His hands rested atop his hips, head cocked to the side as he rewarded her with a broad grin. Not bad, it conceded to her, Not bad at all. However, they still had a lot of ground to cover- the treasure hunter in the meantime was convinced that his feline companion would be just fine. He was not breathing hard, but his eyes were bright with ambition and the eagerness to continue. Oh yes, he was a bit of a show-off. Performing his stunts with a witness was just so much more interesting to him.

He considered the fact that he kept his wings bound a personal challenge. They were quite great for balance, would haul him over and up walls with the dexterity of another pair of arms. He certainly had made due with them after a while, the cumbersome damn things. Now he moved to continue on their journey, leaping off with a lack of visible concern for the way gravity sought to end him.

Lamp-post to building, running across rooftops and at one point telephone wires. Jynn was the amazing draconic monkey, taking death defying leaps and maneuvers as if he really did possess functioning wings. He tried to pick a quick path that would also be semi-safe for them to move through, but there would be more than one occasion where their follow-the-leader game put them on walls that crumbled just as they were stepped on. Eventually Jynn stopped looking back and just hoped Cynosure was right behind him or finding a suitable path of her own. Soon, the obsidian behemoth of the pantheon was just barely a few rooftops away, and the pale man stopped to finally rest on the stable surface. His tail kept him balanced, a good layer of sweat now slicking his arms and neck. He could pant now, it'd been a pretty good distance over the city, but his stamina was quickly recovering while he breathed. He glanced over for Cynosure, made a grand gesture with his arm. "The Pantheon!"

Well, they were here now. Why did Cynosure seen so anxious? Jynn fixated her with an openly curious look. Was she happy or not? She was one then the other. Well at least he had a question to answer, and a thanks as well. Not something he got often in the form of words. However, he rolled his shoulders in acceptance, lightly nodding. Yeah, sure, fine, it wasn't a problem. In fact, he'd taken some benefit of it as well.

"I've got a good sense of direction, I guess. One of my many talents, you could say." He smirked, dragging fingers through his pale locks shamelessly. "Being here before helps. Even if my memory wasn't so sharp, how could I forget about this place- just look at it! But now that I've brought you here... I want to know why you really wanted to find it." A slight quirk of his lips, a shrewd sort of stare.

Jynn didn't know what was going on, but when the cat creature dropped, so did he. His mismatched eyes searched the skies, which he half expected to start raining fire and brimstone, the other buildings, their surroundings. His tail was arched slightly so as to be able to swing at anything that came with the blunt white spines, but there was nothing. Nothing.

Then he heard a voice, familiar in a way. It was calling, he was calling... Jynn leered. Absolutely grinned across at his cat counterpart. "Bad kitty," He whispered across to her, backing up to the edge of the building "Someone sounds worried about you... I'm tellin'."

He looked over his shoulder, down into the street for whoever was shouting. Faces, now, he could remember a face a lot easier, even if it was about ten or twenty feet from the ground. Today was full of surprises. Without another noise, he leaned back, falling off the building and kicking off the wall as he fell. He managed to spiral horizontally a few times, then flip upright just in time to latch onto a lamp post. Sean could see him, certainly, tail wrapped about the pole and barely hanging on with one hand.

"Gelezis! You bold b*****d, this is no place to be taking a stroll!" He was joking, and yet he certainly wasn't. He was still clearly feeling playful from earlier. "Did you lose something? You'll never believe what I've found." Things pieced themselves together easily enough. Cynosure said she had a master -had she said a god?- and Gelezis was a god. Gods always had master complexes.

So it was the man behind the god. If possible, Jynn looked even more curious, though his features relaxed to a more neutral one. As if he could scare the other off, looking as wild as he certainly felt. He was about to respond, ask questions, say something witty, when Cynosure appeared. He blinked, the sudden change in her manner surprising him. Bristling, proud one moment and groveling at a mere mortal's feet in the next. That's what it looked like, anyway. As they spoke, the pale man loosened his tail's grip on the pole and slid the rest of the way down.

"She's not my taste of treasure, no offense," He was caught a bit off guard by Sean's question, but a slow amusement passed over his features. His snort suggested how ridiculous he still thought they were, more of an answer than the one he was about to give. Clearly he was not one who caught onto tone indications very well. Scarred fingers gestured to Cynosure, directing attention to her crouched form. "Does she look hurt? If so, not by my own means, I'll assure you. We didn't take an easy route to get here, but she seemed adamant about seeing yon ruins. If anything, I kept her out of trouble." Sure, sure, anything to give himself some credit. He didn't know how he should act around this Sean fellow... so he took the default route instead, which meant he wasn't about to censor it. He didn't pause in approaching the man, only stopping a couple feet away, out of range of an easy sword swipe. Openly, he appraised the man as if he'd never seen him before.

"You know who I am?" He didn't know how this whole thing worked between gods and hosts. It seemed like Sean did know him, or at least found him familiar.
