[ Well, that's not entirely subtle. The rumble of thunder and the smattering of rain coming down from the darkening sky isn't entirely surprising, given how the weather was turning.
What probably is surprising is the sound of jangling metal and rapid, heavy footfalls, a concerned whistling chirp as they sounds slow and stop-- a chocobo, their rider hopping off inside the mouth of the cave to allow them to shake the excess water off their feathers (as their rider also does; shaking out their long coat). They progress a little further into the cave and-- pause.
The Xaela, one eye a soft yellow glow and the other white and blind, stares at the dragon with clear surprise but entirely fearless. ]
