Speak With This One?

[potatolion]

People seemed to go about their business in the Plaza. Chatting and drinking and doing what ever interested them. Soon another individual decided to stroll in and join the throngs of people. It was...A deer...?

Yeah. That was a deer. A doe. A white-tailed doe. Hooves making a 'tap-tap-tap' on the ground as it wandered in with an odd sense of familiarity.

Soon the animal made its way to a seat. It's bones making an uncomfortable 'crack' and it's skin seemed to slip off its body in a neat little heap. Revealing a short, long eared woman who kneeled down to pick up the pelt with a hum.

Kasa plopped herself on the seat and looked around, speaking to any near by who would listen to the Skin-Walker. "Ever been to Wilds? Do strange beasts walk with the deer, rabbits, and foxes that this one hunts?"

In Felix's case, it might be less a matter of class and more of how recently they've met- but he's a pretty tactile sort of guy anyway, and doesn't really mind the contact. He relaxes quickly and gives her an encouraging nod as she picks up the pronunciation.

"Very different worlds," he confirms. "Worlds so different it's difficult for them to understand human- well, mortal minds. And just as hard for us to comprehend them. Sometimes it's like taming an animal, but often... it's better to think of it as negotiating with a stranger. A very old and strong-willed stranger."

[potatolion]

She gives a long 'oh' in understanding. She pauses a moment then chuckles at some thought she had. She tries to withhold her smile but a smirk sneaks through. "This one could not help but draw comparison to how this one felt when she appeared here. She understands what it feel like to be summoned in strange new place." She explained where her laughter came from.

"What was it like when Felix appeared in this land?"

[conjuredskies]

"Very confusing, I expect," Felix agrees with a grin. "I always think you can't really blame someone for being put out by a summons. At least it wasn't some silly boy summoning you to prove he could... was it?" He can't assume, really.

"My arrival wasn't very dramatic. I mean, I was thrilled, but... all I did was walk through a door. And I knew from the unpleasant people on the other side that it was a special sort of door."

[potatolion]

She chuckled more, picturing the situation of a young summoner attempting to show off his skills. She shook her head in response to him asking if that's what happened to her. "No no, but that would be funny, yes." She said with another small giggle. "This one was in forest outside of city where she live to hunt something for something for her companions. In middle of woods she heard strange honking sounds and large crowds. Next thing she knew, she was in Nexus."

She paused in thought, then smiled lightly before speaking up again. "This one suppose it is not that dramatic of entry. But at time she felt such panic and confusion. And maybe little fear. Just little. Very little." She admitted with a bit of stubbornness.

[conjuredskies]

"Good." He winks at her. "I feel better trusting a guide who's wise enough to be wary in strange places." Although that brings up another question, and he pauses. "Ah... forgive me if this is a delicate subject, but have you found a way back to your own realm?"

[potatolion]

She couldn't help but smirk at the wink. He was charming, truly a shame that he was taken. She always found herself interested in the short-lived humans too. She chuckles somewhat to his response and nods, giving the scar that ran horizontally across the left side of her neck two short taps as she spoke. "Yes this one has learned to be on guard. This place is making her too relax though thanks to the ward that keep one from feeling violent."

She tilted her head as he apolagized, her brow perking. "Forgive me if this is a delicate subject," The human began, "But have you found a way back to your own realm?" He asked, her lips pulled into a small frown and she shook her head. "This one has not had that honor yet. She searches, but with no luck." Her hand goes into her bag, taking out what looks like a cheap, blue plastic watch. "This one has companions back home. One is scholar, and he always wish to have clock in his home since only elite have enough for one. But here, they sell clocks this one has never seen before! For so little, look how small it is! It can fit on wrist! She knows this will make Ansel feel like elite, yes." She grinned as she reminisced, not seeming to realize she was doing this.

She dug back in her bag, putting the watch back and taking out various packaged snacks. Seeming exictied to share with someone the things she's discovered. "And this one got different foods for Leyanin, he enjoys food and this one knows he has never seen foods like these. She cannot wait to have him try. Especially this one." She points to a black pouch labeled 'Pop Rocks!' "They explode in mouth! Yet it does not hurt! This one cannot wait to show to them" She exclaims with a giddy smile. While she was homesick for her familiar lands, she seemed to have found excitement in the things she discovered here. Like she was on a vacation.

[conjuredskies]

Felix glances curiously at the scar she bears, though he doesn’t ask about it yet. There’ll be time for that, he hopes.

If she’s trapped here, at least she’s making the most of it. Her enthusiasm has him smiling again despite his caution. “Oh, yes. The devices here are fantastic. And so is the food- at least the kind meant for humans. Have you tried the pizza yet? Or the bubbly drinks?” If she likes the popping rock candies, those ought to be right up her alley.

[potatolion]

If Felix was extra observant, he may have notice a fainter scar that ran diagonally across the Skin-Walker's forehead.

She gave him an excitable nod as he praised the technology of this place. Glad to find someone who shared a similar fascination. She tilted her head at the mention of 'pizza' and 'bubbly drinks'. "This one has not tried them yet, what are they like?" She has probably seen the food and drinks before, just couldn't remember them. Since coming to this world she has tried to be very stingy with her money. Not wanting to spend all her money on goodies here, then return home with nothing.

[conjuredskies]

He's really going to have to ask about those scars, once he's confident he has her trust. Wouldn't want to offend his new friend too quickly by publicly asking about something sensitive.

"The pizza is quite simple, actually - it's a sort of flat bread cooked with sauces and all kinds of meat and vegetables spread over the top. And the drinks... I think I'll simply have to buy you one. But both are very good," he promises. He's not going to spoil the surprise with the drinks.

[potatolion]

Kasa pulled up her legs to sit cross legged; Resting her elbows on her knees as she listened with interest. Unaware of his apparent stares to the small fraction of old scars that where visible on her person.

She moves her hand to rest on her stomach as he describes 'pizza'. She licks her lips with interest. "Mm...Sound very good yes." She says, pausing to hear his description of the 'bubbly drinks'. Which...She would assume are bubbly. But he decides rather than telling her, he'd buy her one. She looks to him with a spark of happiness. "Fehlix will buy this one drink?" She asked excitedly. Happy to share an experience with a new-found friend.

[conjuredskies]

Some things you have to experience for yourself, right? She still has more warning than he did before he got a noseful of fizzing bubbles.

"Of course! Consider it thanks for taking me along to hunt. I try to be a good guest, for all my faults."

[potatolion]

Kasa chuckled as she let herself lay back in her seat ever-so casually. "Felix has been wonderful to speak to. She is happy to invite him on hunt." Her head tilted to the side somewhat with curiosity as she looked at him. "Speak of which, when would Felix like to join this one?"
