She yawned lightly as she walked, shaking out her fur with a lazy grumble. There wasn't too much to do recently and she hated it, more than anything. She enjoyed doing things, wanted to always be up and moving, so it was always hard when there wasn't really anything to do.

She thought about finding something to eat, but even so, her mind was already working on what to do next, where to go and what to explore. The only thing that pulled her out of those thoughts was the voice of another, her ears perking up instantly.

Hello? She called out as she came through some bushes, pausing for a moment to look around, eyes falling upon the creature in question. She raised an eyebrow for a moment, cocking her head to the side curiously.

Her heart dropped for a moment when she saw the stranger, instantly tensing but not reacting, not yet. For a moment she raised an eyebrow at their words, taking it in a bit of a rude way, but she didn't say anything about it. Right, sorry. She muttered slightly, trying to keep herself from sounding like a bitch.

However she cocked her head to the side in confusion at the way they spoke, finding it very odd. They spoke in third person, but also used words she didn't understand yet. Of course she wasn't going to ask for information, that would just make her seem stupid and therefore weak. Not happening.

If Survivor was their name, it was only made sense that they were asking for her name. I'm Eira. Why do you speak like that? She asked genuinely, her tone much less annoyed than usual and more curious.

She cocked her head to the side, looking at this creature curiously. They were odd to her, the direct opposite of her in all regards and that confused her. While she was aphotic in coloration, this creature was as bright as the sun and the snow. She walked on all four legs while this one seemed to lean mostly on two. Then there was the way they spoke, which was even more confusing than anything else, but it seemed there was no good reason for it, at least none they could give her.

Right, uh. She hesitated for a moment, not very good at social interactions. I'm still new to these caves and this... place. Do you know anything you could... give me info on? She really hated asking for help, but she figured asking for information was different. She needed that to survive.

She nodded slightly and listened, flicking a single ear as she did so. Lessers... Greaters... Gembounds. It was all weird to her, but she didn't mind, it was knowledge nonetheless. She had seen so many small, misshapen little creatures, some that were rather uncanny in their forms, so she figured those were lessers. Good to know.

Her ears perked up for a moment as she heard the comment of groups, finding herself rather curious about that. She loved her independence, don't get her wrong, but perhaps finding a group to rest with, to work with, could prove useful in the long run. Do you have a group, or family? She questioned, figuring that was why they had talked about it. Or perhaps they wanted a family and that's why they brought it up.

Only made sense of course.
