What the heck?

Somehow, Sota had avoided interacting with the natives of this land so far. Part of him was curious about the fabled giants that roamed these lands, but another significantly bigger part of him was terrified of them and their ways. Watching them afar was one thing, but actually talking one? The thought made him feel weirdly faint. Luckily he was nimble on his paws and good at climbing trees and at navigating unseen through the world, so he wasn't forced to face these strangers quite yet.
Well.. until now, apparently.
Sota heard the pawsteps before he saw Clementine, but before he had a chance to react he saw a pair of eyes peering back at him from the forest floor. Oh no. Oh no no no. Sota's silver eyes widened dramatically, but he tried to keep himself from looking overly panicked - despite the sudden confusing raging inside his head. "Oh... hello," Sota called out breathily, feigning nonchalance and forcing a small smile to appear on his lips. Not that she could probably really see his expression from her position, but seeming rude wasn't his style.
It was hard to tell just how big she was, but certainly bigger than him, and he felt his own posture stiffen as he got a better look at her. Fear wasn't a good thing to display, but he wasn't too proud to let a healthy dose of wariness creep into his posture and voice. "Are you.. enjoying your afternoon, miss?" That was totally casual, right? His ears flicked as he scoped out his surroundings, taking the opportunity to navigate nimbly down onto a branch closer to her, maintaining that safe distance.
