It's me and Mr. Jones?

Empousa smiled as she thought about it, and then with a quick ahhh and a smile she knew what story to tell. But first, she would make sure they got a move on, if they wanted to be there before it was terribly dark they had to leave now. Her smile grew as the girl didn't shy away from the contact, it left Empousa feeling genuinely happy for a moment. An odd feeling that settled into her gut in a way that was not... unpleasant.

She looked over at Jay, an easy-going smile on her lips. "I have never been so sure of a spontaneous trip as I am now, I am lucky to go along to a new place with you." there was an emphasis put on you, to make it more genuine, it was someone like you, just simply you. Jay was easygoing, a breath of fresh air for the woman who always seemed to be swarmed with some sort of conflict.

She nodded as the woman stood and spoke, giving her an idea of the direction to head to find a trail down to the beach. "I haven't gotten to scope them out too much, but I think you are right let's head south!" her voice echoed Jay's plan, a reassuring nod of head directed at the smaller lady. She began to walk, brushing against Jay to usher her forward.

And then she with a wag of her tail and a smile began to tell her a story. "I think the coolest place I have ever been was a waterfall, which may sound bland at first but, it was humongous. It spanned on and on, and it was so beautiful there. Birds were everywhere, singing and calling to one another. And the land was coated in beautiful trees, vines, and moss. The plant life surrounding it was gorgeous too, and yet it was seemingly tucked away from the rest of the world. A sight so stunning, so unique was so entirely private. That night I climbed into the trees and fell asleep to the sounds of the waterfall, and the frogs croaking along with it. It was peaceful, I almost didn't wanna leave." She spoke rhythmically, pausing every once in a while to emphasize what she said. And then she turned to smile at Jay, "I am happy I did though, that was a long time ago, and if I hadn't I wouldn't have so many stories to tell you." she offered a playful wink. In reality, telling stories was one of the things she really enjoyed.

She paused in her steps as she saw a trail that seemingly led down to the beach, looking at Jay with an excited grin. "Stay behind me and be wary of your steps. The path looks worn in and stable, but I want to keep you safe." she said, her voice soft and light. And then she was walking toward the path and beginning the trek down it.
