Demitri smiled at the snake.
"Oh, well, I suppose he found you, then. Adorable little guy. Yes, you are definitely adorable, Saulin."

"No, he didn't," said Era flatly, absorbed in setting up her room.
Adorable?
He supposed that was an okay word for him, and Saulin continued, I didn't find her. She made me.

"Oh? Really?" Demitri wasn't quite sure what that really meant... He didn't know how anyone could make a creature, except, of course, if they were one or with magic... "How did she do that?"

"By technology that's been lost," cut in Era, for the first time turning to face Demitri with a curling emotion almost like anger lurking. Sulin knew it better to stay silent, and kept quiet.

Demitri blinked up at her, surprised at the sudden outburst. "Oh... Well... That's... impressive... I'm... sorry... Did I upset you?"

"No."
Again she was completely quiet, and averted her gaze as she began to unload more items. Faintly she wished for that time when she and her sister had been so close, those years when they had been fine...until reality had caught up with them both. Driving Eris over the edge, past the brink of insanity.....
Sauling still stayed silent.
Once a packet containing odds and ends of food was set out, she took the liberty to introduce herself.
"I'm Era..."

Demitri, who had been sitting in awkward silence, perked up a bit. "Very nice to meet you, Era. And, of course, Saulin. I hope you'll like it here!"

"I've been here before."
Saulin had gotten bored, and was now over by Era, and flitted up into her lap as she sat on the bed, where his had was stroked.

"Oh.. erm... right... Well... then... When were you here before?" he asked hopefully, trying in desperation to make conversation with this person who clearly was not talkative.

Era seemed to consider this a moment, wracking her brain.
Let's see...the past hundred years she'd been roaming and trying to create some type of flying horse, before that fifty were spent way north of here, the hundred before that had been spent with a clan of vampires, and the years before that bent on creating the Gryphon.
"Three hundred years ago."

Demitri blinked.
This woman just continued to shock him.
"Oh..." he said weakly. "...Really...?"

"Yeah."
There was really nothing further to say.
Now came pages of A, G, T, and D's, labelled in rows that were readable DNA to Era, but just the next persons guess.

"That's very interesting," Demitri said, wondering exactly how one went about creating a winged snake.

She supposed in his mind it could be interesting. Unfortunately, it was so dull to her...
Era half-ignored him, not responding further but listening for a possible question as she unpacked more things. Saulin decided it an appropriate time to talk again.
You live here?

"Me? Well, I just came back after... um... six... or so... years away... I guess I live here. I mean, I usually don't live anywhere. I move around a lot."
