SKILL : - - - ( 1 / 5 )
The presence of the other eluded Elli as she canvassed the ground, sweeping her tan nose across the strangely springtide earth. Nothing about this patch of warmth and overgrowth made sense when the world she had just left was frozen solid.
She turned to check the space behind her, only to find more of the forest trail now sprawled in her wake - all remnants of the alpines were gone.
How bizarre - and suspicious.
Elli swallowed the sense of unease that rose with not having her bearings before she swung her head forward once more - just to bump into a figure of silver and white right as they cleared their throat. She hopped back reflexively with a grumble, dark ears pinned as eyes of earth and sea snapped toward the source of her obstruction.
Before her stood a man dressed in monochromes, holding an expression that ordinarily might have grated on her.
Her eyes narrowed suspiciously, but anger did not yet flare - a rarity of late. Maybe it was the strange scent in the air that gave her an edge of tolerance, but she wasn't pushed to demand a blood bounty from the unfortunate stranger... yet. Her lips flattened into a line.

Who are you?Elli prompted.
Do they not practice personal space where you come from?
