(OOC: Sorry it took me a while to get to this!)
Kirl Moonharber was thoroughly enjoying herself. She and her hyena companion, Oax, were walking through the Niahi Woods, heading nowhere, just wandering.
They had been walking through the wood for a while when Oax froze. "A bear?" Kirl asked. The girl and hyena shared a bond, they could communicate without words, mentally, through feelings and other non-material ways. The hyena sent a confirming yes. It was a bear. The two stayed perfectly still, and a few minutes later a huge red bear emerged from the trees. He looked over at Kirl, and they stood like that for a few minutes, then the bear continued on, and so did Kirl and Oax.
They went the opposite way the bear had gone, but within ten more minutes Oax's fur raised again. A moment later Kirl caught sight of a strange looking man. He was a strange sight, but Kirl was not perturbed.
"Hello!" she said, not moving any closer, but keeping her voice friendly.
