Long velvety ears twitched, whsipers of the minimal Mist around them flooding over her senses. While this Hume had not that scent of the nethicite like the sparse collection of Humes she had met in recent days, something was still off about him. Nearly fundamentally wrong with him, like how Mydia had seemed once her armour had been removed. The Viera was very wary, untrusting.

Yet in her height, I was her leader and master.” He waved a hand dismissively. “Those are days perhaps best forgotten, of little interest to fickle time and her beloved present. But you, my dear lady Fran, are much more enticing to puzzle. Never have I seen the likes of you, if I may be so humble to admit it.”
Her form was, indeed, the source of some curiosity- but far more interesting was the way that pyreflies stirred about her so serenely.

For Yevon, in fact, hers was an alluring presence, as he so often had to settle for the cacophony of pyreflies rattling against each other among humans so unaware of their existence.
