Notus pushed off the rock wall and gracefully buffered his boots with extra air on the ground, then pushed forward with more air, zooming in closer. He could see the rider defensively putting his hand on his weapon, and thought that was logical. He was a stranger, and the times weren't particularly fond of newcomers.

He came up to the river, not far off from the cave and surveyed the ground, finding the least sandy area. One section seemed to be a thin sheet of slate that went to the edge of the river and downward, appearing stuck in the bank, forming a make-shift ramp. He smiled slightly and pushed forward, turning at the last second and pushing off with his left leg to flip his lower body over his head. He filtered air through his bracers and spread his arms, acting like he had wings and grinned.

He couldn't fight the excitement that came with "flying". It never got old for him, never even slightly lost its enertainment. He surveyed the ground on the other side, noting several rocks and a small path of dirt around the rocks. He landed, pulling his legs back over his head so he'd land on his feet and swerved around the rocks, not wanting to damage his boots, or himself.

When he was within twenty feet of the small group he slid to a gentle stop, letting the air go and letting his feet touch the ground, before resting fully. He surveyed them, then bowed, nodding his head, "Greetings. My name is Notus. I'm not here to harm any of you. I'm simply intrigued." He gave them a small smile and pushed a breeze toward them.

Notus watched the others carefully, noticing their distrust. Realization dawned on him; they obviously wouldn't understand wind-speak. They weren't wind elementals, so a friendly breeze wouldn't show them that he meant no harm.
"Forgive me, I am a wind Elemental. In my home we convey feelings on the wind, with breezes and such. I forget that others do not always understand." he looked away and his eyes caught the small dragon-like creature, immediately fascinated. The larger dragon was beautiful, and obviously female from her build.
He turned to Jason, "I saw you training. You are highly skilled. The technique you are attempting to accomplish is very complex, yet your progress is incredibly fast. I am impressed." he gave the young winged man a small wry grin.

Hawke thanked the man for his hospitality and slowly walked into the abode his dragonette had been working on. It was small but effective in that it had everything one would need. There was even a chimney and a window. Once inside, Hawke turned to glance back Jason. "You were practicing wind magic, right? And Notus, you said you were a wind Elemental? That's curious. We're all dabbling in wind magic," Hawke cocked his head to the side, surprised but in a good way. Maybe all that experimenting was good for something after all...

He glanced curiously from Leo, the dragonette; to Notus, a wind Elemental; then to Elisa, who had experienced bone growth to become larger because of Galbatorix's meddling (it had its benefits, he had to admit); and to Jason, a being with wings. Then there was himself: a human rider with hawk blood mixed with their own. All in all, it was quite an interesting group.
