As anticipated, Kaiah responded well to Meadowlark recognizing the shyness and opened up. Even just a little. Perhaps meeting new people wasn't as bad as she worried about. Perhaps it was because Kaiah was female. Who knew. A small flick in her smirk turned her lips upward in a smile briefly at the chuckle Kaiah produced. "And since that one wanted to pinch me, it's a spicy flat rock with claws." A nod followed her statement, pleased with the idea of naming the creature as such. Upon the question of being new around here, Meadowlark shrugged slightly. "Technically, yeah. I spent a couple days at the hot springs and a nearby field checking out the plants there. But yeah - I'm not originally from.. wherever this is." Meadowlark looked around briefly at their surroundings. "I left my old home a long time ago to make my own mark." Slightly true, slightly a lie, but Kaiah didn't need to know everything about her past. It was in the past, after all.
