Regent, 1st of the Year of Rebirth, Morning (about 8:30 AM)
Regent heaved himself off of his haunches after finishing his meal - essentially a large slab of meat, probably from two or three different animals, set out in advance for his arrival - and set off in the direction of the kitchens. They might think he was a dull beast, but he had his own tastes and preferences along with any other member of the fort, and everyone in the fort had bloody long enough to learn his.
As he moved, his footfalls sounded heavily, echoing through the castle, with the click of his nails providing a sort of counter-beat to the thumps of his weighty gait. It was fortunate that the place had been built for the more monstrous races in the world - as it was, he had a hard time fitting his form through doorways and around some corners. Still, he made it the fairly short distance to the kitchens easily. The staff, understandably, didn't seem to appreciate the presence of a fifteen-foot drake in the kitchen, but no one seemed to particularly want to tell him to leave. He looked back and forth, searching for the ones responsible for the preparation of his food. Judging this simply by the size of the ingredients before them, he simply moved closer to them and sent them a simple message.
"My food. Stop killing it. Let me." Without waiting for a reaction, he turned about, inadvertently knocking over more than a few utensils in the process despite his best efforts, and turned around, leaving the the chefs to their startlement and confusion. Regent was almost disappointed at the lack of panic at his arrival. Sure, he'd bothered the not-prey enough, but none of them seemed to have any legitimate fear of his approach. It wasn't a proper thing, that. He was a stalker of the icy wastes, a hunter of prey, a killer of the weak and the slow, and yet most of his life was spent desultorily wandering these halls and occasionally pinning down a passing soldier to establish that he was, in fact, one of the more dangerous residents of the castle.
So, the drake proceeded to do exactly that, tail lashing occasionally and stalking the wide halls until he ran across a solitary trooper. He burst forward like a blast of lightning and pinned the unfortunate lizardman down, not giving him a chance to react before his chest was covered with one massive paw, a talon-like claw on either side of his head. He held the soldier there for a few moments, growling at him menacingly, enjoying the reaction of terror he was receiving. A witness lacking knowledge might think that he was in imminent danger of becoming a second breakfast, but anyone else would notice that there was no characteristic glowing of the scales on the drake, and that if Regent really wanted the kill, he would have already dealt the deathblow.
