To See a Guy about a Wolf
The old man is surprised and seems genuinely impressed by the sudden carriage appearing. "I appreciate the gesture young lady," he says with a smile, "but we'll have to climb some stairs to get where we're going and I'm afraid that just won't fit nor would it be very comfortable climbing up them, I'm afraid. Thank you very much." The guards on the other hand are quick to be ready to fight, especially since she started casting a spell without warning, but a word from the Director calms them. While the Director seems genuine and unconcerned with your actions, the guards remain suspicious and nervous given that you lot outnumber then 3 to 1.
As the group enters the area behind the goat pen, a large open hallway, the roof roughly 50 feet above your heads and about 15 feet wide, goes out to the left and the right in an obvious slow curving way. Metallic stairs ending in metal walkways lead up to what look like windows almost 30' up seeming to look into where you just arrived, if higher than the pens. Lights are set into the walls as well as high in the ceiling which casts the area in a small bit of shadow, but not enough that it would make it difficult to move about.
As you walk the Director is helped by the guards as several other people can be seen moving about. Men and women of various ages, a few as old as the Director, but most are middle aged with a few teenagers sprinkled in. There aren't enough of them that the place is crowded, but enough that you are not always alone with just the guards and the Director. Some watch you all with interest, while others talk quietly to each other as they watch you pass.
Oh, and they all look very similar to each other.
"Please, have a look," the Director says as y'all walk by a set of these windows. Inside this one, which is just above where you came out of, shows the jungle you just ran through and the large cat padding around the opening you ran through. It seems agitated as it looks for your group, sniffing the air and making such a deep growl that you can feel it in your body. "That is a tiger and we have so many animals that are on display, but I'm sure you are thirsty after your brush with certain death. And we can return to look at more later."
He then leads you, barring anyone stopping him, passed other windows, each one with a different terrain inside. Every animal you see is at least twice the size of a normal animal. Finally, after about 15 minutes of walking, or flying in Moonlight's case, the party arrives at a small door that is opened for you to a fair sized room with a table in the middle of it. Fresh fruits are set up in bowls, with many unrecognizable to you and you can only assume they are fruits given the identifiable ones in the same bowl as them. A pitcher of water has also be placed on the table near the fruits with cups to drink from. By this time, the old man is huffing from the exertion and takes the closest seat with a sigh. "Please, have a drink and something to eat. Then I will answer your questions." One of the guards pours the Director a drink and hands him a piece of fruit that looks like a yellow rounded pastry. He takes a bite as you can almost hear the slush of juice as he bites into it. "We will have a proper meal coming soon, but we can talk while we wait."
