deer in the headlights

Kiela was held captive by the sight of the strange elk; she wasn't one to gawk but she was staring with a strange captivated intensity, her jaw unhinged slightly as she watched him approach the strange metal structure. He moved along its length, lowering his head as he peered inside. Warily she took a few steps closer, still mostly obscured in the shadows as she watched the spectacle and tried to make sense of it. She couldn't shake the feeling that she was in the presence of something far greater than herself and she was compelled to interact with him, no matter the cost.

Hesitating as Rannoch startled himself, she took a sharp breath in before taking a few long strides closer. Kiela abandoned her usual self-assured posture; she was submissive at best as she dared approach and take in the strange creature as best as she could. A full-grown elk was a dangerous thing to a wolf, and though this one wasn't quite adult, not that she could tell, well... that only made him all the more impressive. She'd never seen anything quite like it, but she had to see him up close even if it meant putting herself in danger's grasp.

"Terveisiä," she greeted him, instinctively using her native tongue, as she had no idea if he'd even attempt to communicate with her - or if he even could. Surely he was not from these parts. It was impossible. "I come alone, and I mean no harm to you or your herd. I promise you that." Her scent was that of a loner and she made no sudden movements, warily lifting her orange gaze to meet his and marvel at his existence until he reacted to her.
