Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Interesting..." she murmured aloud. She watched the creature's actions closely, waiting. Patience was needed in this situation and she was happy to take the time to let the creature examine it's surroundings. "It appears to be a carnivore," she commented to the siblings, "though I can't be sure."

Alexiel heard the bell through the cracked door that led to the basement area and with Daemon on her shoulder she started back up the stairs. Who on earth had entered her store to cause the animals to behave in such a way?

She pushed the door open as she reached the top of the stairs and she was greeted by a cloaked figure. It couldn't be him, could it? How could he possibly find her? Her shop had no name and she wasn't that well known in the community, at least not by name. Hell, she hadn't even given him her name.

"Can I help you?"

The man's head would lift upwards, having previously been reading the nameplate on the counter when he heard the woman's words. "Ah, a'lo," he began in greetings before he'd answer her question with a slightly raised voice so that it would carry over the sounds of the frantic animals, his voice having a small hint of a british accent, "I am wondering if you so happen to deal with lost pets, you see, I seem to 'ave lost one." The man had a pointy sort of face; pointy nose, pointy chin, pointy cheekbones, and completing the sharp look were grey eyes.

He would wait patiently as the shopkeeper would turn to adress someone who had come from the upper story of the building and then turn back to him. At that time, the man would retort, "Ah, might I decribe it to 'yah?" he asked, in case she would have come across such a pet.

The man would wait until the woman had made herself comfortable, waited until she sat down and stopped her fussings about so that her attention would not be divided and she would not miss his words so that he'd have to repeat them.

"She 'as," the man began, clearly stating that his pet was female gendered, "a soft brown coloured mane, blending into a reddish colour. Also, she is about the average size, maybe only slightly smaller than a matured animal of her species." Two additional facts; reddish-brown hair and average size. However, possibly the most important fact the the man lacked was the exact species of his pet, "Oh, and a very light skin tone." In fact, the more he added to the description, the less like an animal and more like a person it would seem. "And finally, one last very important part, which might I add is very distinct, in case you 'ave come across my pet, she has..." his accent disappeared, "Such pretty blue eyes."

Alexiel's blood ran cold. He had found her. How had he found her? Sejai's scent was doing nothing for Alex as her body stiffened. "What do you want?"

"Not yet. I'm a very busy lady, sir. If I were to just step away from my work, people would get suspicious and that wouldn't bode well for my job for you. I also have another person that lives in my home that I must care for." Alex was afraid of him but this was her shop, her home, and so she would remain calm and cool. The wards and spells that protected the shop and those within it would be hard to get around, if he wanted to try something he would find it difficult. "Has your list changed since we last spoke?"

"Alright then, I'll see what I can do about getting you a sample from one of the others. It could take me some time though, many of the people on that list are hard to find." Alexiel ignored his smile. "Now, if you could please leave, your presence here upsets my animals."
