Firefly Glen Sayin' "who are you and where are you from?"

Questioned, she became flustered. She could feel her skin warming beneath her thinning coat, whilst her tongue dried out. The words that she wanted to say refused to break out and spill into the night air, ensnared, instead, within her throat. Swallowing them down, her gaze began crawling up the boy, starting first as his paws and then coming to a stop on his eyes. Those eyes—had it not been for their flavescent glow, she never would have been lured in his direction. Quickly, she averted her gaze once again and focused on the earth beneath her paws, examining it as if it were the most intriguing thing on the planet. “Your eyes…” she began, pausing and drawing in a breath to steady her nerves.  “They are like the glowflies.” As if on cue, a bug lit up just beneath her nose and took hold of her attention, only to deposit it back onto the stranger. She gazed at him curiously, her embarrassment rising with each second.

Internally, she shouted at herself for acting so… childish. When around her sisters, she had never acted so shy! Then again, they were her sisters. They shared blood with one another, a home—they were also all girls. Kaori did not have any brothers, nor were there any unrelated males around her age within the lair. She had seen the adults and none others, but it had only ever been in passing. This was all so new to her, unnerving, yet oddly enthralling.  “I’m really sorry for, well…” her voice was once again lost, her tongue refusing to cooperate.  “For crashing into you.” As she finished, the raven’s eyes met his—briefly—but were redirected to a lower part of his face immediately after.
