There's more to find

Esa merely tilted her head and huffed when he said the North still had a lot to offer, even for someone like her. She still didn't see his point. Suddenly he changed his tune, his body relaxed and in a gentler tone he offered to help her find who she was looking for. She wondered where this abrupt change of heart came from - only moments ago he had been quite offended, his tone harsh and rude. Her emerald eyes glanced over him again. He seemed genuine, but she couldn't help wondering why he would offer to help her, and what he would ask in return. Didn't he have anything better to do than help some random female find her friend? Perhaps he was just lonely in this stark white place, as she was. She supposed that was possible, and if he'd grown up here, she couldn't be too surprised about his rough exterior.

Her tail flicked from side to side as the male spoke, and she wondered if she should take him up on his offer. She couldn't disagree that two sets of eyes were better than one, and she might find her friend more effectively that way. When he finished speaking, she tilted her head the other way. "If you haven't got anything better to do, I guess it wouldn't hurt to have a companion," she said with some reservation, "I imagine you must be lonely wandering this place alone - how did you wind up alone? You don't look much older than me, if at all. Oh, and what's your name? Mine's Esarosa." She paused then, ears perked toward him as she awaited the words that would next pass his lips. She would wait for him to offer more about himself before she gave any indications of who she was looking for or where she wanted to go.
