//welcome to the typhoon!! <3

the young girl needed to push herself, despite her injuries, despite the pain that she felt each and every moment, despite the panic that both pushed herself forward and held herself back. she needed to make sure she wouldn't fall behind. she needed to make sure decius hasn't gotten to anyone. she needed to make sure she didn't screw up. that was most important. that's why she kept moving, no matter how hard it was, and that's what brought her to the stranger soon enough.

she struggled towards her, legs dragging close to the ground and shaking with each step as she leaned on her walking stick to move. her bright fur almost reminded her of caesar. perhaps they were related. probably not, but she knew caesar at least had a sister - atbash, who had betrayed her crew. hopefully this female wasn't as despicable. she probably wasn't.

goldie offered a small smile to the stranger, her own tired, striking green eyes holding a bit of curiosity within them. "hiya," she greeted with a nod, sitting down to relax slightly. her injured spine was making everything really difficult right now. "what brings y-ya to th-the typhoon?"

the girl's ears perked slightly as the female responded. she assumed she was going to be a joiner, as that's what most strangers tended to be these days. she certainly wasn't complaining - she enjoyed having new crewmates, and was trying her best to develop some sort of positive relationship with all of them. she found it most beneficial, and fun, to befriend everyone.

though, a recent new crewmate wasn't one she was so happy about, not that she could reveal it. decius was causing problems and would only cause more, but she couldn't tell anyone. not unless she wanted them to end up just how he warned - dead, chopped up, strung from trees, staring down at her until she met her own demise. the thought filled her with terror. but, she hadn't let this ruin her views on strangers just yet.

her small smile would widen into a welcoming one, giving a small nod. "oi, w-welcome, then!" goldie responded with a kind voice. the female called herself maigold knox, so that sort of ruled out her being related to caesar - his last name is cipher. she had figured it had been just some sort of coincidence, but the young girl couldn't help but wonder at first.

"m' name's g-goldenluxury roux, b-b-but most p-people call me goldie or so-somethin' along th-those lines. it's n-nice to meet ya!" she introduced. the young feline let herself giggle slightly, her tense muscles relaxing a little bit. "our n-name's are kinda sim-similar! i l-like my n-name."
