OOC: Sending my character Kayala in! For the sake of realism, I'm making her 20. Not like it matters much. I think they would get along pretty well. We'll see. :)
IC:
Kayala wandered through the woods, her arrow already notched in the bow. She needed food and was hoping to find an ill or injured animal that she could take out. Of course, Kayala had more than enough skill to take out any animal in the woods—given she was in the right position. But there was less harm in killing an animal that would be dead within days anyway.
Years of living in the woods allowed her to travel silently and quickly alongside giving her an uncanny sixth sense. And it was that very last thing that alerted her of another presence nearby. Not wanting to take any risks, Kayala rested the bow around her shoulders and the arrow in her mouth. She climbed the nearest tree and gazed down, waiting for the wanderer that she knew would pass by soon.
However, that soon came a lot quicker than she had been expecting. She had barely made it onto the lowermost stable branch before the elf appeared. The girl was skinny and tall and clearly had experience walking through woods. After all, she made close to no sound as she walked.
Any normal person probably would have let the stranger pass by, not wanting to risk the elf being dangerous. But Kayala was by no means a normal person and, at the sight of the dead fawn hanging out of a bag, she couldn't help but do something. She wasn't stupid, though. While the quests for her blood may have simmered down, that didn't mean there weren't still people looking for her. Furthermore, anyone traveling through the woods alone with weapons could easily be dangerous. So she put the arrow back into the bow... though she kept it loose. If the girl made a dangerous move, she'd be able to shoot quick enough, anyway.
Peeking out just a little from the branch so that the girl would be able to see her, Kayala finally demanded, "Why are you here?" Of course, her voice would have contrasted the silence from before, but she made no efforts at not surprising her companion. Nor did she have any desires to be hospitable. First she would figure out why the girl was in the woods, then she would deal with it.
