Kira Kei stretched lazily deep down in her caves. Tanis had left some time ago on a solo assignment. An assassination that required subtly. Kira Kei didn't do subtly well, and so she had opted to stay behind. She liked it when things blew out of proportion. The chaos was always interesting. As it was, she was getting bored. Perhaps she should have gone after all...

Arwen wandered aimlessly, her mind in anguish and torment. She had been through so much these last few months....The pain of it still left marks on her, not physical but ever present. Stumbling, she came out of the trance-like walk she was in.
"Oh bother..." She always seemed to be losing her way, she glanced around but saw nothing familiar. Casting a furitive glance at the sky, she saw the storm clouds rolling in. Seeing a cave not far off, she wondered if she should take cover. As if a sign of consent, the heavens open forth and poured their torrents as she wandered into the dark cave.

Kira Kei unfurled her wings when she heard someone stumble into her cave. She considered scaring the intruder, or just out and out killing them. However, her boredom won out and she lurked in the shadows, watching the odd creature. She hadn't seen the like before. That alone was enough to ease the boredom a bit. Now to play with her...
"Who goes there?"

Arwen had made it into the cave as soon as possible, but she was still soaked. Stumbling into the darkness, she tried to let her eyes adjust when she heard a voice and something almost leather-like moving.
Her eyes widened with fear as she tried to see into the darkness. She thought about running but she figured that whatever was lurking in the shadows would catch her long before she could get away.
Her voice trembling, she spoke. "Ar-arwen."

"Ar-arwen?" she mocked lightly. "Well, Ar-arwen, what are you doing in my caves?"

Arwen was rankled even through her fear. "Arwen. The name is Arwen." Her chest heaved with the intense emotions warring within her. Faint shadows appeared about her immobile but ready-looking daggers. Her voice quaked with fear and the weapons shook as her courage wavered. "I got lost. Who-" She paused to steady her voice and rapid heart beat. "Who are you?"

"The name's Kira Kei," she introduced herself, stepping out of the shadows. "Put those things away. You wouldn't be able to hit the broad side of a mountain if it was five inches in front of you like that."

Arwen breathed trying to relax as the pony introduced herself. The daggers faded away. "I'm quite good actually...but I don't practice much." She glanced out the cave at the falling rain. "I"m sorry to have intruded. I didn't know anyone lived here."

"Then maybe you should have knocked first," she suggested, wryly. She glanced beyond the Kirin at the water pouring from the sky. Well, that explained why Arwen was there.

Arwen blushed. "My apologies, it was most...inconsiderate." Her cheeks flushed an even deeper crimson. "I didn't even think of knocking since it looked unin-" she quickly changed her wording. "Since there was no door."
Looking back over her shoulder for a long moment, she returned her gaze to Kira Kei. "Can I wait out the store with you? Or do you prefer I leave?"

"Eh," she waved a hoof dismissively. "You can stay untill I get bored. I'd say I would never toss someone out into a storm but... well... I would."

Arwen sat down on the cave floor after Kira Kei had waved her off. So she was free to stay until the storm was over...or maybe until Kira got hungry. Shaking off that depressing thought, she tried to make conversation. "So you think..I'm interesting?" Ugh... she thought. That sounded so vain.

Kira Kei leaned against the stone wall, watching the other pony with an almost predatory gleam in her eye. "Never met anyone that looked like you before. So, yeah... interesting works."

Arwen felt a bit nauseous the way Kira Kei was looking at her. She wasn't able to stop the shudder that shook her body. "Well, I am different. I'm Exalted. There aren't too many of us around anymore."

"Anymore?" Kira Kei noticed the way the Exalted shivered and had a faint idea that it had something to do with how she was looking at the other pony. Too bad she wasn't as nice as she was when Tanis was around. "What happened?"
