Good First Impressions

Quote:Machines. Two-legged creatures. Humans. It was a fantastic tale, one that held just as much mystery as many others she had heard as a child. Could it be true? Could there really have been some animal to come along and make these things and leave them in here to sit idle and gather dust? But it had to be true, didn't it? And her guide seemed to find nothing about it the least bit intimidating or cause for concern. With practiced ease, the Prince leaped up the side of the machinery and seated himself toward the top, speaking to her from where he sat. As much as she wished to inch closer and more thoroughly examine the metallic structures, she couldn't quite bring herself to be as bold as her guide was and hung back as he hopped down without a care. "So strange," she replied quietly, almost to herself. There seemed to be plenty in this small enclosure to explore all on its own, but still wary she knew it would take her a time to feel as comfortable around it as Maverick did.

The youth's mind seemed to be in overdrive as he was already thinking of where to take her next, and coming to a decision he left the dark interior of the shed and stepped outside into the light. With once last glance over her shoulder, Tahlia followed, blinking rapidly as the sunlight hit her face. They traveled only a short distance, just around the side of the shed, before Maverick stopped once more and set his vibrant green eyes upon a stretch of peculiar land. The russet and black wolf narrowed her eyes slightly as she peered out across the cropland, distinguishing from what grew there naturally and what had been made to grow there by these humans. It was different and rather interesting, and she was curious to wander out and see whether she could identify any of the plants herself.

As if realizing his rush, the Seracian Prince apologized and Tahlia turned her head to regard him as he glanced her way. She smiled. "Not at all. I hope to have plenty of time later to see the details for myself," she responded with confident reassurance, though added with a modest shrug, "supposing I am allowed to stay, that is."
