[ Khoriya had opted to take shelter in the stable rather than bunk down with the throng of new arrivals who had gathered at the boarding house, knowing he could never bring himself to relax around so many strange humans. Clean straw and an empty stall are all he needs; the stablehands wonder at the way their horses shy and stamp, uneasy with the presence of a predator in their midst, but take no note note of the large pawprints mixed among those of hooves and human feet.
His ears prick and he lifts his head when he hears the doors creak open in the dead of night - who might be coming in at this late hour? Rustling, faint movement in the dark, followed by a terrified rodent shriek and the coppery spill of fresh blood... and another scent that causes his nose to wrinkle, black lip curling back in instinctive animal rejection. Something human, but other - a scent that would not otherwise be offensive except in the lingering whiff of unnatural death that fills his lungs and escapes his jaws in a low growl.
When Astarion looks up, he'll find an enormous wolf staring at him from across the stable, teeth bared in a snarl and one golden eye reflecting the dim moonlight. But... where he expects to find somethings half-corpse and half-shambling monstrosity, there is only a pale human(?) kneeling there upon the ground. ]
What are you? [ His voice comes forth a low, vicious growl. ]
[ ooc: lmk if there's anything you'd like me to change up! i'm also down with khoriya getting bitten/attacked/some variation on transformation too. ]
wildcard!
