Meet and greet

[§~Samwise~§]

The communal fire was going quite nicely. The night had only just started to show in the sky, but thanks to the jungle it was good as night where camp was made. Sinna had taken notice that she was being followed and watched minutes ago. It was always interesting to observe people who thought that they might not be obvious to look for behavior. Unfortunately all she got out of observing Biff in this environment was a sense of distrust.

After finishing half of her ration she turned and looked back at Biff. "You know, if you have something to say it is customary to introduce yourself and start with niceties rather than stalk and brood at a distance."

[uberwulfx]

Biff was quiet for a few seconds more, as if debating whether or not to respond, before he spoke up. "Biff does not brood, Biff contemplates and observes."

He wasn't Bones, being stealthy was something he was fair, but not great at. In the back of his mind he resolved to work on that; his being pretty direct and up front about most things probably somehow affected his aura.

"Only because Biff was caught will Biff apologize, but when one makes a show of disappearing from a group once one knows where their target is, one can expect a certain level of suspicion to follow them for a time. Biff is the 'certain level of suspicion.'"

Sinna watched Biff with mild interest as he delayed. She raised her brows and almost spoke again when Biff finally spoke. Her glowing blue eyes showed that she was making eye contact with Biff while he was speaking.

There was a smirk first at his reaction to the brooding comment. She refrained from interjecting and simply continued to listen.

"I did not make a show of disappearing." She offered plainly. "I knew she was here when we landed and I could have found her on my own."

"I wasn't in a rush to get away from Alina. But once more were gathering I saw myself out because the message was for Edith, not a large group of Mobians."

She wrapped her remaining half ration and slid it into her bag."Might I have your full name ... certain level of suspicion."

[uberwulfx]

He wouldn't have thought much about it, if not for her emphasis on 'Mobians.' Wasn't there a rule about answering that question specific ways when dealing with shapeshifters and people who disappeared?

"Biff's name is Biff Shivanski," was his response. "And Biff does not know where you are from, whether above or below, but again: is customary on Mobius for one to announce intent upon arrival, and kindly excuse themselves to their target. Especially when that target is under protection of group of fighters who, among other things, punch ghosts."

Biff's arms crossed, but his face remained neutral. He was scolding and warning Senna, but not threatening her.

"And to be sure, for Biff's record, your name?"

[§~Samwise~§]

Sinna smirked and stood, brushing her lower robe off. "Well, Biff who speaks in the third person. I had announced my intent on arrival. A messenger isn't required to tell anyone besides the recipient the content of their message."

She gave him a long look of appraisal. "Ghost punching ... cute." She gave a slight hat lift gesture. "You can call me Wayfinder Sinna."

"The... delivery of message, yes," he said as he nodded in thought. "And decidedly not an assassin, though as noted, all assassins do say they're not assassins. Unless they're bold enough to announce their presence." A nod as he rubbed his chin. "You are... planning to travel long with us as we go? From what portal or such did you emerge, if Biff can ask? Is Biff's way to try and note the passages that exist between plane; has heard tell of issues in the fey world, and know the elemental planes are breaching, and do not know if it effects anything else."

[§~Samwise~§]

Sinna listened to Biff logic his way around words and her purpose. "That would depend on whether your path matches to the Change Bringer's. And, you can ask, but I won't answer."

She turned her back and walked closer to the fire. "My ways are mine, my ways are earned."

[uberwulfx]

"Though Biff was not able to go to the Feywild for that adventure," he replied with a cant of his head, "according to the accounts of Biff's allies, Biff is a Change Bringer. Though surely, So if it is they you seek, Biff give you permission to stop being cagey. Or perhaps it is more Fey of group you wish to talk to: Verdi?"

Her response confirmed that Sinna was fae, and easily explained why she was being guarded with her information, as well why she didn't think anything of suddenly disappearing in the manner she did.

[§~Samwise~§]

Sinna snickered and shook her head. "Change Bringer, singular, not plural. The Change Bringer." She offered back to Biff.

"He's Change Bringer." She added to give more detail and held her hand up to something close to Bones height. "About this tall, voluminous and untamed orange hair, feline features." She still had her back to Biff. "I may follow her if she permits."

[uberwulfx]

Ah, the bait was taken, if not in the manner he expected. Incorrectly naming Verdi, the other person who hadn't gone to the Feywild, as the more fey person Sinna may want, was a ruse meant to see what information Sinna was working with. Still, though the gender may have been wrong, there was only one person by that description. And so, Biff was happy he didn't use Bones' name in his ruse. Though he was curious, and his head tilted once more.

"Ah, yes. What other name do you know her by, or were you not told? If 'Change Bringer' is title, Biff wonder if you know Change Bringer's name used up here. May help you endear yourself to Change Bringer?"

[§~Samwise~§]

Sinna gave a dismissive wave. "Her name in the wilds is not her name here. Or at least, the name she offered is incomplete."

She kept facing the fire."I don't need to know her Mobian name to endear myself to her." She turned and looked over her shoulder at Biff. "Besides, I've found being too familiar with someone who doesn't know you rarely turns out good."

She turned back to the fire. Generally staying still.

[uberwulfx]

"Mm," Biff gave a grunt in reply. "Well, Biff will leave you to that, but warn again very strongly against disappearing acts until such time as Change Bringer approves your staying. We are quite cautious group."

He moved to the fire as well, standing beside her, but not familiarly close.

"Have you ever been in this area, Sinna? Or would this be first venture of type for you?"

[§~Samwise~§]

Sinna shifted to the side to add space. "If I need to disappear, I will disappear." She offered flatly.

She looked up to the sky and answered the next."This specific spot ... probably new to me. This island ..." She went silent and looked back down and into the flame.

[uberwulfx]

Biff sighed, deciding to shelve that branch of the conversation for now. He'd delivered his warning, and it was on Sinna to truly heed it or not.

"This island? So you have been here before?"

[§~Samwise~§]

Sinna didn't respond to the question at all. She was silent and looking forward for a short moment before her face animated some and she spoke again.

"What are your intentions here?"
