Rizli - rislets

Aushka. Edo period (the time of samurai, shoguns, and strict classes.)

Risley is the head of his clan (after the death of his parents) and the manager of Hito-ōkami. He wears a black kimono with a red lining, fingerless gloves that merge with the same kimono at the wrists, strands of hair escaping from his main hairstyle—a high, black ponytail—and a single earring on his ear, not human, as it could be, but beastly. Risley, the manager of Hito-ōkami, is a humanoid wolf like the others under his command. His eyes are pure blue, and his tail reveals more about his emotions than his always imperturbable face. *

• Neuvillette - according to legend, the last of the water dragons. Long, white hair with visible blue horns. Pointed ears and blue scales around his pink eyes and neck... he was declared wanted for his supposed "killer power," forcing him to hide behind long blue robes, most often kimonos and bamboo hats. But Neuvillette himself couldn't muster the same strength. He was weakened. And he wasn't to blame for any of the troubles he'd been accused of over the years. *

• Hunting season. The time when the rain finally stops and there's an opportunity to reconsider how to grow crops. Risley's troops and he himself set out into the forest to find prey. Meat that could feed many families... was very inspiring. And while his subordinates were busy, Risley himself decided to turn to the river, where he met a stranger... drinking from a homemade bamboo cup, the water in which was strained from temishi. Everything would be fine, except the stranger didn't expect anyone to appear here and didn't hide his draconic features. *

• The sound of a branch breaking. Neuvillette turns around, but somehow helplessly sets his glass down when he sees Risley running his hand over his sword in its sheath. Both are waiting for something. Risley's tail twitched, betraying the emotions of his unwavering body, and his gaze fell first on his horns, then on the prominent scales around his eyes... and then on the bags under those same eyes.
