Kev just arrived at Otter's Fort. The otter didn't know the place so well, but he found the sickbay. He needed some time out of unpacking so came outside to soak in the beauty of the day. Kev noticed how many creatures there were at the fort. Wow, there is more creatures here than at any other place I visited. This is my rightful place. The wind brought him back to reality. Kev was getting tired of walking around the wall tops, he'd been doing it most of the day. The otter decided to sit down and have a rest.

When Linx did his usual training circuits across the inner walls, he typically saw the same few dozen beasts or so. Eventually, he got to know some of them pretty well, at the very least on a first-name basis. Pretty good, considering all he ever did was run past them.
The mouse was wearing a light pair of shoes, thin but long-legged gray pants and a sleeveless white shirt– Unusual attire for a beast who always went around with heavy boots, black pants and a matching short-sleeved shirt and an imposing obsidian jacket. Of course, right then he was training, not trying to make any impressions. This training consisted of running in a giant circle again and again along the inner fort wall. It worked well enough, as the surface was completely flat and he never had any problems accessing the place. Of course, that wasn't to say that the feeling of his aching cardiac muscle didn't tear him apart.
He noticed someone who, oddly enough, he hadn't seen before, ever. If the beast was inside the fort itself, it wasn't a passing trader but a full-blown fort member, and apparently this one was new. Linx slowed to a halt, panting heavily, and looked over the otter sitting against the battlements. "Hey..."

Kev noticed the creature standing there. He looked him up and down. "Hey, nice to meet you." Kev stood up and gave the mouse a handshake. "I'm Kev Duggle and I'm a medic here, new of course. You look pretty fit, have you been running? Anyways, what is your name?"

"Well, if you didn't just see me running towards you on the wall... I'm Linx Exotic," the mouse replied with a grin. "Master of Weaponry... But nobody cares about that anyway. Good to meet you, Kev, have fun treating the sick and wounded and... Stuff like that." Linx put a paw on one knee, helping support himself while panting heavily. His heart was beating his ribcage like a sledgehammer and it was trying his endurance.

"Actually I didn't see you running, I was day dreaming. I do that a lot when I'm not working. Nice to meet you Linx Exotic! Yes, I'll try my best at helping beasts out. So, what's it like here in the fort?"

"What's it like?... Not the easiest of questions," Linx started. He was still exhausted from the run, which he wasn't quite finished with, but it was worth denting up the last leg of his training to chat with a newcomer. "It's different for everyone. Got a diverse group of beasts within these walls, and uh... Hopefully, you'll be one of the ones who's having a good time. ...Nearly all of us are."

"For a start, I'm liking this place. That's why I chose to live here. I've been to many places looking for a place to live and here is nice. It's so big, that's why there is many beasts I've noticed. I hope everybeast will enjoy it here, I am starting to!"

This Kev certainly had some odd verbal quirks. Then again, so did the intentionally colloquial Linx. You should talk... "It's a protected trade haven, Kev... We get the best of all the imports, and make the most from all the exports, so it's kind of impossible to not enjoy it." And, as a result, the population was in the... Thousands? Tens of thousands? Linx needed to request a census sometime.
