Ara hadn't expected company. Easily, she grew fully engrossed in her task at hand.. to find herbs that might prove to be useful, no matter what they were. She would avoid collecting things that grew readily in Fiori territories, she decided, as she called them to mind as she wandered. Her attention was taken fully by her self-appointed task, so deeply that she barely noticed the arrival of a stranger. 'Whatcha lookin' for, sunshine?' came a man's voice, slightly sweet though tinged with an accent she hadn't heard before. Ara lifted her head quickly from its lowered position, eyes widening as her nose flared to take in the stranger's scent. It was no one she knew, and she retracted slightly from him, out of instinct. "Hello," she greeted him tentatively, peering at him cautiously, poise stiffening. "I wasn't looking for anything in particular. Just scouting the herbs that grow here." She shuffled her weight from one side of her body to the other, tail flicking idly behind her. What was he looking for? She wondered, but didn't think to ask yet. Instead, she kept her distance, wary and curious as she regarded him and waited for him to speak again. |
