Open RP post for Auri

"It is a lovely name," he said politely. "It suits you."

"It does," she agreed. "It is like having a flower in my heart." She gave Elodin a serious look. "If your name is getting too heavy, you should have Kvothe give you a new one."

a new resident

The thing that almost certainly draws her is the meowing, only made worse by the echoes. It's the meowing of several cats, all of them plaintive and demanding and the soft murmuring of a human voice clearly trying to hush them a little as he shuffles around and separates the food he'd gotten from the day's labors among six or seven cats who he's clearly fond of even if he's starting to sound a little flustered.

The man himself, once he comes into view, is enormous, made all the larger by a heavy coat and big boots but honestly, there's no way of making him small. There are scars on his face, one massive one and a pair on either side of his jaw, a couple of spots on his neck visible despite the coat, and he moves like a man who's got more under his clothes.

Auri doesn't mind meowing, though she generally doesn't hear so much of it. It's not uncommon for animals to find their way down into the Underthing. She usually fetches them and helps them on their way. The thing is, ordinarily only one adult cat would make it down, not what sounds like an entire den of them. She comes to investigate, but she freezes stock still when she hears the clump of heavy boots.

A man. A man in the Underthing, trodding with his heavy boots. He's going to find her, and he might catch her or lead other men down here. This is her home. It's... safe is not the right word for the twisty Underthing, with its dark corners and its dangers, but it's untouched by other people. The dangers here don't come from aren't the sort of willful harm that people inflict on each other.

She turns to go, but cats' sight and smell are stronger than a human's, and one is already here in the dimly lit tunnel, investigating and meowing and, if Auri stays where she is, perhaps even twining around her ankles.
