Just Checking Up

Itzal groaned and stretched himself out. He had been out late last night, hunting. Itzal wasn't sure what he had started off hunting but by the end of the night he had two dead rabbits, a few squirrels, and a fox. They hadn't truly satisfied him but they would have to do is what he told himself. By the time he had returned to his temporary home the moon was falling slowly and the house was dead quiet. He had slipped into his room and happily fallen into a blissful sleep. But now he stirred, wondering what had finally awoken him. He rolled off of the bed and stood, listening carefully. He thought he heard Rio's footsteps and her voice once but he also heard a louder set of footsteps. Itzal assumed that they belong to Harvey and moved to his door. He turned the knob and walked out into the main room.

"Rio?" He called, walking towards the bottom of the stairs where he could hear her talking to someone. Only it wasn't Harvey. Harvey knew where everything was in the house, so Rio had no reason to give him a tour. Itzal's curiosity was peaked as he walked up the stairs. He walked over to her bedroom door and glance inside. He noticed Rio but he quickly looked from her to the stranger standing in the door way. He looked him over with a quick sweep of his eyes, gauging if the man was a warrior. Itzal guessed yes from his first look. The bow helped give it away but also could catch the way the man stood. Itzal wasn't sure who the man was, but he obviously knew Rio. "Good morning Rio." He said, before looking at her friend again, "Hello there. I'm Itzal, one of Rio's tenants. Who are you?" He asked, keeping his expression controlled. Itzal trusted Rio, to an extent, but this man was a stranger. And Itzal never trust strangers. They were just as likely to try and kill him as they were talk to him. Maybe more likely to kill him, in Itzal's experience. So he put a polite smile on his face, and watched the man carefully.
