Dragoncrest Cliffs catch a tiger by the toe

When Portia arrives Étoille acknowledges her with a nod and brief smile, but his attention is clearly focused on the child currently latched onto his foot. Such a strange little creature. They all are, really -- since he's been allowed to come visit, he's rarely strayed, fascinated by the tiny growing things and their unique personalities. 

"Fais attention, petit," he murmurs to Bat as she dangles, amused. He rearranges himself, sinking to a sphynx-like position so that his head is more or less level with her while giving Portia space to speak with Wildfire.
