[ELEANOR.]

eleanor was the next to approach, the gentle woman coming to a stop beside her younger sibling. she didn't like the idea of children greeting strangers on the borders, but she also wasn't in charge of anything, so, she kept that opinion to herself, instead allowing her gaze to rake observantly across her sibling. she seemed safe, that was good. nelly's attention turned to the stranger on the border, surprised to realise she was nothing more than a child. she seemed anxious, her eyes darting behind her, she held an air of fear which raised eleanor's concern level. what was this child afraid of?

"my name's eleanor," she greeted gently, head tipping softly to the side as she offered a reassuring smile. "are you alright? how can i help you sweetie?" nelly was approachable, wasn't she? surely. she was childish, bright eyed, friendly, yeah, usually she was approachable, hopefully this child found herself able to trust eleanor.
