"It is nice to meet you, Miss Emer. I trust you must be famished, you don't look well." Such words were hardly the greatest choice to say to someone you had just met, they could quite easily be misinterpreted so that the other might take offence at them. Fortunately this was not the case for Emer, she hadn't thought of her appearance at all, not the weariness in her face and bones, not the blood upon her scruff and she certainly hadn't thought about food. "Wait here, I'll be right back."
Before she could respond in any manner though, Jinxx had left her and she found she wasn't entirely certain how she actually felt about that. She had wanted isolation, hadn't felt safe when he arrived and certainly didn't want another coming along either. If his words were indeed true though well there wasn't really any reason for him to go away and truth be told already she found some form of protective company might be ideal. As she had demonstrated only moments before, she was an easy target especially right now.
Being disturbed had at least made the girl a little more alert now, drawn her out a little more from that trance she had been stuck in. It however also made her realise just how drained she felt, and aching body longed for her to give in and rest. Golden eyes attempted to remain alert though, for Jinxx's return or for any other potential dangers and she refused to even sit out of the worry she would just drift off to sleep. However tired she was she couldn't sleep, that would only leave her all the more vulnerable.
Fortunately it wasn't too long before Emer spotted the male returning, his unique markings rather easy to recall not that she had paid attention. He had indeed succeeded in finding food as well it seemed and as he dropped it on the floor her stomach turned slightly, not certain if she really felt like eating anything. Food would give her energy though, something that she certainly needed right about now. "For you." He'd prompt her as he stepped back, still allowing her the space that she wanted and needed. With a small sigh of defeat, she gave into her needs, she still didn't feel hungry but deep down she knew she ought to eat something. "Thank you." She responded, eyes watching him still for a moment before cautiously moving closer.
She took small bites, chewing slowly, gaze lifting every now and then to glance at Jinxx and the land around her. Her stomach protested slightly, still feeling rather sick. Eventually Emer found she had to give in, though it hadn't been the largest of meals to start with she hadn't eaten it all though found she really didn't feel she could take another bite. Retreating once more, she looked back to Jinxx now, though remained silent.
