If either of them had a chance of blending in though it was certainly Irelyn though Novella probably would have found it rather odd had she suddenly attempted to hide now. Foolish perhaps wouldn't be the word to use though, either rude or very timid. Novella would have hoped for the latter in some respects though wouldn't exactly have been able to find out either way really if the stranger really didn't want to co operate.
That scenario wouldn't happen though, the other instead politely responding to her greeting. Novella watched as the paw lifted, wondering if she was tempted to move closer though at this moment in time she wouldn't have objected to, the other didn't seem to be threatening after all. Both remained in their places however as the conversation continued, or at least attempted to do so anyway the comment was a rather bemusing one.
"Yes." She agreed all the same, hoping that the slight confusion of the comment didn't bleed through into her tone. "I'm Novella Destruction by the way." Perhaps an introduction would help. It was worth a try.
