[Davesprite by contrast has had more encounters than he'd care to count. Some were harmless—even helpful, like House's warnings—but he's meet those afflicted with the scrawled eyes of the prophet and the according mindset it brings. Jim tried to kill him once. If not for the same task-oriented mindset that let him finish Dave's quest when he was grievously wounded, he'd be a lot more freaked out.]
[Trying to investigate the tunnels turned out troublesome and tiring, though. Navigating is hard with his wings and tail, and too many doors are locked or just inaccessible this night. He doesn't know where to look, what to do, how to solve the stupid puzzle, and so resigned he has retreated back to the residential areas.]
[It's somewhere out here that Jade finds him. Her instincts are good enough that he doesn't even notice until she's already moving. He turns, halfway, almost, but her mass is slamming into him already, driving him down and back to skid a rut into the snow while he caws out alarm.]
[His arms come up, trying to shove away the body that's landed against him. It only takes a second more of looking for the features he's seeing to click.]
