YOU WERE SO ENCHANTING | PRIVATE

[Nayru]

[color=#6b7e99]✦ ✦ ✦

Among the things that Nayru expected to find in the Ascendants territory, a colt thundering towards her was not one. She immediately tensed as its form came into view, pale paws scrambling to lift Chad from the ground and place him on her head. Annoyed by the sudden disturbance, her alligator companion hissed and thrashed for a moment before realizing the danger and complying with Nayru's efforts. She braced herself for impact, too paralyzed to move suddenly, but it appeared as if something had spooked Arion and sent him hightailing back in the direction of the Observatory. That was... good? She looked around for danger, wondering what possibly could have frightened the horse before realizing that it rested upon her head: Chad.

She, like the majority of Tanglewood, had grown accustomed to the perpetual presence of alligators. Heck, she lived with one of them. But it made sense that a colt was not so used to seeing the little reptile and had been frightened accordingly by it. Nayru felt a little bad admittedly, but was relieved that a potential collision had been prevented. She would carefully place Chad back on the ground and gently boop his snout before the sound of another girl's voice caught her attention. Was she about to be asked to leave?

The first thing Nayru noticed about Hazel was how bright her aura shone. It was golden and lovely and momentarily entrapped her. She still hadn't gotten used to seeing auras and such and sometimes forgot that it was considered rude to stare. Oh well, hopefully she wouldn't think anything of it. [b][color=#6b7e99]"Um..." The little scientist began hesitantly, blinking cerulean eyes and smiling sheepishly at Hazel, [color=#6b7e99]"Was that your horse?"

Like her horse, Hazel seemed a bit spooked by this situation as well. That or hesitant. Nayru honestly couldn't blame her. How often did she see an undersized medic and a sassy alligator coexisting so peacefully? Considering the fact that she had never heard of anyone resembling either she or Chad, she figured that the answer to that was simple: not often.

[color=#6b7e99]"I'm Nayru," She introduced, [color=#6b7e99]"And this is Chadwick. You don't need to be afraid of him, I promise. He's pretty stubborn and opinionated but then again, so am I." She laughed a little bit, feeling rather awkward suddenly. [color=#6b7e99]"But.. uh.. yeah. Sorry... I can leave if you want? This probably isn't allowed anyways but sometimes the swamp can be a little much."

They were probably missing her back at home anyways. What if somebody had sustained a life threatening injury and was currently bleeding out? Would they think her to be a disappointment if she wasn't there to save them? Doubt suddenly danced upon her cream colored features and she averted her gaze. She didn't want to go back, really she didn't. But between her innate fear of missing an injury and the possibility that this other girl was going to kick her out, she supposed she didn't have any other choice.

It was good while it lasted though.
