[ the door to a new room is wide open, warm air drifting out of it. inside the room is something like an African savanna, minus the general animals. there's a large acacia tree visible a fair distance from the doorway, and something... odd hanging from it. the oddity is easily large enough to host at least one person comfortably, maybe even two. there doesn't seem to be anyone around it, nor are there any footprints to show that there might've been at one point. ]

[It's the wafting warmth from the doorway that bring Kurt into the room, curious - hm, this place seems pretty nice. The desert-dweller approves. He heads on through, curious, looking around - stopping at the odd tree.]

[ the thing hanging from the tree seems to be made from various things; branches, grasses, mud, even some animal bones and fur, despite there being no animals around. ]

[Hrm. He peers at it, gives a brief poke at one of the branches, but... inanimate things aren't really anything he's interested in. Not things without hearts.]

Hey!

[ and the poking would be her cue to show up, looking annoyed. ]

Don't touch my nest!

[What the-? He whips around.]

My apologies. I was not aware this belonged to anyone.

[ huffs, tightening her grip on the bundle of twigs in her arms. oh, also, she seems to be floating, despite not flapping her wings at all. ]

Things like that don't just build themselves, you know.

[He shrugs.]

I see that now.

[ drops the twigs on the ground near the nest, feathers bristling slightly. but her expression is giving way to curiosity despite that. ]

What are you?

I could ask the same of you. But not assuming I'm human, then? You're a sharp one.

[He smiles - well, he doesn't mind admitting things so much to someone who doesn't look human herself.]

Does the term 'Heartless' mean anything to you?

[Dislikes centaurs? Well then it's your unlucky day! Since Namine is trotting out into the savanna. Not enough grass and way to hot... But at least there's enough space to get a good gallop going. She really needed to stretch her legs once in a while.]

You don't feel like one.

[ tilts her head slightly. ]

Not really.

[ she hears the hoof beats on her grounds before she's even in sight, watching with narrowed eyes from her hidden spot some ways away. ]

[Just galloping and exercising in the large room. Totally unaware of your presence.]

[Another smile.] Fair enough. My kind are - born of the darkness. Born of the heart.

[ ....throws a sharp twig at her when she gets somewhat close. ]

Oh!

[ well, she knows about the hearts he's speaking of thanks to a Vexen. ]

I see.

[It hits.]

O-ow... what threw that?

[Stops and starts looking around the apparently empty room. This was strange... The only place someone could be hiding was the tree so she's carefully trotting up to it.]

[He nods.] Glad you do.

And what about yourself, then?

[ sticks her head out and hisses like an angry bird. ]

What are you doing here, centaur?

[ the way she says it makes it seem like there's nothing worse in the world. ]

I'm a harpy.

[ she doesn't really have much explanation on what that is, though. ]

[Well that surprised her. She takes a few startled steps back. She has harpies in her world as well but they live in the mountains not the grasslands.]

I was just exercising... Were you the person that threw that twig at me?

[She doesn't want to fight... But apparently this harpy hates centaurs for some reason.]

This is my territory. I found it.

[ harpies originated from the mountains in her world, but kind of spread out. ]

[Well, at least he can see the main details there himself.]

Ah. I've never encountered one of your kind before.

Well, they didn't have anything like you in my world, as far as I know. I think the closest thing was the demons.

Shame. I suppose it just goes to show the variety in the worlds...

[He chuckles lightly, hoping that little problem's fixed one day.]
