Mount Apikuni one: entrance

Rheia was almost all leg and as she fell she took on the aspect of a large spider, flailing for a second before curling her legs up around her. She met the ground fortuitously thereafter and, perplexed by the entire situation, was left dumbfounded with forest debris all around. But the stranger seemed to be no worse for wear - they were speaking, and although her mind was a blur after the tumble, she could pick up on the tone of those words and even, over time, came to understand them in a basic way.

It helped that the word he used (- are y'an angel?) was so close to its likely progenitor. She knew not what an ángelos was, however Rheia felt a mistaken sense of familiarity when she cottoned on to what he'd said. A part of her should have realized he wasn't speaking her mother tongue but she was a bit discombobulated at this point and thoroughly hopeful. As she got to her feet she shook the debris from her ratty silver pelt and smiled hesitantly at him - Angelos? Ti se kánei na to lés aftó?
