Wild Berry Meadow I didn’t see you there

The new face approached - friendly, but one couldn't be too certain anymore with strangers and their intentions. Despite the friendly approach, Reiko still made more distance between them as the younger female stopped a respectable distance. More, she needed more. More space, more distance between them to give her a head start to run if necessary. She took a couple of steps back, keeping an ever-watchful eye on the new face. Hello. She said softly in return, voice harsh in healing as her vocals continued to strain.

What do you want? Her words lacked the harshness that one would suspect with such a sentence. It was soft, weary, but no malice in the new companion she found herself with. Normally she would say "how can I help you?" or something along those lines... but truth be told, she had no desire to help anyone as much as she did once before.
