Ankyra Sound Mystification

she wasn't as receptive as he'd hoped. panacea slowed his approach as he came to this realization, and decided that maybe he'd come on too strong. hi! i didn't mean to scare you! i didn't expect to see anyone here, he stopped when he was close enough to catch her scent. she smelled like others.
i'm panacea, he added as an afterthought. then he realized that he had no idea what to do with this interaction. he was happy to see someone, but... what now?
