There's a rattle of weapons and the click of claws as Cricket is approached by an enormous bird. skekSa recognizes the fiercer look and nods approvingly. She approves of mettle, whichever form it takes. She hasn't seen Cricket before, but she knew the name and what he sold. Magic or not, she likes this new look that the young man carries. It's just a little bit enough to set someone on edge. Confidence looks good on him.
"You're Cricket Pate." The transformed skeksis offers a clawed hand. "I've heard a lot about you, but I can't say we've met. I am Captain skekSa. I run the Scarlet Hooyim downtown." She doesn't look that different, at least, and she would have blown a gasket if the color of her feathers had changed.
