Here I am. {OPEN}

[Anastasia Yates]

Ana walks into the cabin on soft feet, her tread hardly disturbing the thin layer of dust. The door hangs open, but she does not bother to close it. Her eyes are tired as she looks around the room, taking in the cots, lined up head-to-foot along the walls, the small trunk sitting at the foot of each bed, the door leading into a dark bathroom. She drops heavily onto the nearest bed, dropping her bag beside her. Her face is crusted with tears and a few drops of blood. A small head pokes out of her bag, nosing its way out of the folds. She smiles at the red face looking around the room. The few real smiles the girl ever gives out are usually directed at the fox, still a pup.

I walked in, Blacksmith at my side. She bounded over to Ana, in case she might topple over // You k' so far?"

[Anastasia Yates]

"Mostly." she says her smile melting quickly, leaving her face her usual emotionless mask. "It's all just a little… overwhelming." The fox steps all the way out of her bag, yipping softly at Blacksmith. "That's Krichi, by the way."

[Jasper]

// Nice to meet you.//

[Anastasia Yates]

The fox walks over to Jasper, leaning onto his hind legs while placing his front paws on Jasper's leg. He seems to smile. Ana almost laughs, but doesn't.

[Poseidon]

Chase walked in and smiled "Cute fox. Hey. I'm Chase by the way." he glanced at Ana

[Anastasia Yates]

Ana nods. "Anastasia. Ana. He's Krichi." She looks up at Chase, her brilliant blue eyes catching the sunlight filtering in through the door. Krichi darts to the newcomer, always curious.

[Poseidon]

Nodded at Ana, his silver hair shining in the sunlight. He crouched down and held out a hand to Krisi, waiting pateintly

[Anastasia Yates]

The fox presses his nose into Chase's palm, then looks up again at the boy.

[Jasper]

// Hello.//
