Ouranos had to marvel at Lassendira’s bravery; it took a certain kind of person to find the motivation that she had to come out here and live alone in such a remote area, just for the sake of practice. That was determination and love of the sport if he’d ever seen it, and he admired her greatly for it. There weren’t that many people out there who had the kind of drive that she did, and he knew that if she persevered, it would take her far indeed. “That sounds like quite the journey indeed,” he said in reply, respect evident in his voice. “If no one’s ever told you before, you’re certainly one in a million.” He grinned encouragingly at her.
At the sound of other voices, Ouranos turned to see the two small, winged creatures emerge from the mouth of the cave. If Lassendira hadn’t summoned them first, giving him some forewarning, they likely would have caught him rather off guard again, despite the fact that he’d already met one of them just earlier today. Clearly, Sekhmet wasn’t the only person who liked her beauty rest, he thought to himself with an inward chuckle. As Lassendira introduced (or in Sangi’s case, re-introduced) her friends, Ouranos tipped his head politely in acknowledgement to each in turn, making sure to remember who was who – after all, it would be rather embarrassing to get them mixed up during their first meeting.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you,” he said with a smile, very quickly adapting to this new situation. After all, he wasn’t used to creatures as small as they being – he assumed – as clever (if not more so) than he. If anything, it was all rather fascinating, although he kept his curiosity politely in check for his new acquaintances. He did have a rather difficult time imagining how they could possibly be judged in the same category as someone such as Lassendira though – with such drastically different body shapes, and likely flying styles, he would have thought it was like comparing apples to oranges. “So, are you all training to compete in the same event?”
