King Elk Forest instruo

Just realised I accidentally called her Phex last time lmao whoops

His head peeked from the water, drawing in breaths.
Still swimming strong.
He caught sight of her and seemingly glided to the bank to greet her.
She reminded herself to smile. Everyone liked a smile.

He shook himself dry as she managed a meek, "Hello."
She swallowed. He was bigger than she thought. He didn't look like others in Kingslend. Celnes spoke of...acceptance while looking at her white socks. Laroche called them pretty. This man was mismatched dark silver and mismatched red.
​"I was just making sure you were ok..." Had she forgotten how to speak? She felt intimidated here. Alone even. "I was just looking for plants for my garden," she explained with another smile.
She couldn't keep faltering.

She forced her heart to feel like rose blossoms as she waved her tail softly, swallowing her trepidation.
"How is your day?" She asked with a cheery tone.
