[Akechi had been watching. He doesn't know this woman, doesn't know her story, but she's certainly determined...
But then she falls. Her skin pales. Clearly, something is wrong.
Finally, he makes his approach, swooping down and landing on a piece of nearby floating rock.
He's... quite the sight. Black, crow-like feathers cover his face and neck, with rounded ears like a big cat twitching amidst his honey brown hair. Hooked horns curve out from his forehead, black with thin, white grooves in them...
And crow-like talons poke out of the fingertips of his black leather gloves, while a scorpion-like tail rests idly.
But he makes no moves to attack, simply watching.]
It's never pleasant. This world has a way with toying with us...
[But it could be worse, he supposes. He's grown accustomed to his own changes, at any rate.]
