Hideaway Strath Rest my case

The harsh terrain she had trekked through had her relieved at the discovery of this, oasis, it seemed. The heaviness that had lingered in her chest was lifted, maybe a meal waited for her in this valley.

Even if her spirits had just lifted, the scent of others was present and the fur along her spine had raised unwillingly. Perhaps this haven was a home, and just as the thought was fresh in her mind, the behemoth of a man had graced her line of sight. Her gaze rested steadily on him. She figured she should be afraid of his sheer size and demeanor but something about him was enticing. Marsali didn't know if his presence alone would make trouble for her, considering she was a trespasser here and even unsure if her sweet talking could get her out of this.

❝Hello,❞ She said, second guessing her decision to greet him.

She a took a few small steps forward, waiting for any sort of reaction while leaving a comfortable space between them.
