Seria's jaw just didn't stop dropping. It looked so huge that it could hold the entire fort armory in it; she didn't know how small the fort armory actually was, though. Looking back at Dantin in shock, she fumbled for words at the idea of a completely new, far more powerful life. "What... How many beasts live there? That place is huge!"

*Dantin had to think about that one for a second. He had forgotten that so many beasts did indeed live there.* "Um, I think about nine or so... but it's mainly Linx's house. He bought and payed for it and it's under his name." *Dantin wasn't too sure how Seria would react if she found out why all those other beasts lived there. She might just run away or something... and that would not be good.*

Seria wasn't even curious. She was already walking off towards the house. "So are you one of those nine, or what? Do you have keys?" Already, she'd taken her situation and started making something of it. There was now hope again.

*Dantin looked at Seria for a second as she started walking off, a bit surprised at how quickly she had let go of him and was off walking again. He then started after her and quickly caught up with his longer stride.* "Uh, yeah... to both questions." *-Well that sounded smart...- he thought to himself.*

"OK, good, go ahead and unlock it, I guess... If it's locked." A fortress-like house like that just had to have at least one high-quality lock on the door. Seria continued a brisk pace that implied she was putting her life in this one walk, which she actually was. Having to live on her footpwas for a few minutes turned out to be invigorating with some hope.

*What may have been brisk for Seria was actually just a little above normal for Dantin. What with his longer step and his usual pace being somewhat fast.* "Oh yeah, it'll be locked. Always is." *It really wasn't too far to the house now.*

"Well... Nine beasts... That's kinda scary. Nine beasts who I don't even know. Are they nice or what?" Not knowing what to expect, Seria looked up at Dantin curiously as she walked. She'd never been around so many beasts at once and wanted to know how these ones would act, specifically around her.

*Dantin looked down at Seria as she looked up at him.* "Well, I seriously doubt they're all gonna be there at the same time. Usually the most you'll find in there during the day is maybe three or four at the same time. There's a monitor lizard that lives there but if he's there, don't act scared. He's not like most."

"A... A monitor lizard? Like, one of those tropical island ones? What's he doing up here?" The part where that species tended to be huge and muscular didn't interest Seria; all beasts were like that relative to her. She was more curious as to why such a beast would be so far north, when it wasn't even yet the height of the summer. "It's too cold up here..."

"Yeah, I thought that at first too but he seemes to get along ok. I don't know how he made it through the winter but he did and now he's still alive and kicking. Not literally kicking, I just meant he's... yeah, alive." *-Can I sound anymore like an idiot? Sheesh...- Dantin didn't know what in the world was going on with him. He kept messing up his speaking...*

Seria took note of this but decided not to comment. It probably had to do with having just found a random mouse on the street, and now leading that mouse back to Linx's gigantic mini-fortress. She kept close to Dantin while approaching the stairs leading to the porch. "This place is really fortified... You never get anyone breaking in, huh?"

"Oh heck no. Even if a thief did somehow find a way into the house, he wouldn't last for more that a few seconds. A couple of minutes, tops. I mean, you've got nine beasts in here, most of them are expert warriors. The ones that aren't can still fight." *He walked up the stairs leading to the porch and pulled out his keys. He unlocked both locks but didn't open the door quite yet.* "Um, hold on. You might not want to come in just yet, hold on a second." *He then opened the door slightly and put his head in to see if there was any nude beasts waiting.*

There weren't. The only beast in the living room was Dengoro and he was wearing a robe, mercifully. He had his rake sword next to him on the couch for some unknown reason, in his scabbard, at least, and he placed his paw on the hilt when hearing the door open. "Oh... Dantin... Hi."
Seria, unsure how to react to this unknown voice, didn't enter the door. She waited behind Dantin timidly, which was a bit unlike her. Perhaps it was the part where she didn't know who was on the other side and the house was apparently full of extremely powerful beasts.

*Dantin looked curiously at the rake sword sitting beside Dengoro before responding.* "Hey Dengoro. Um, do you have that tied up securly?" *He asked, indicating the robe Dengoro was wearing. He didn't want to scare Seria any.*

"Double-knotted, relax," Dengoro sighed, letting his head fall back on the couch. Nobody was around and Dantin was obviously not there to alleviate his boredom. Maybe there was company or something. "What, did you take an oath or something? What is it about my robe now?"
