[font=trebuchet ms]Loneliness stifled even the strongest people, even more so if it was self-inflicted. It was easy to get lost in this region, and if you did you might never find your way out. Straw had come here of her own volition, seeking an intangible and ill-defined goal, so she had known she might be here for a while if not forever. It wasn't so bad here; the Elysites were kind, and even if they weren't, she was under no obligation to interact with people. She could, if she wanted, just tend to the garden in the greenhouse and climb mountains all day, and the mere presence of others besides herself would be enough.
Still, everyone had different definitions of loneliness, and people came to the border for all different kinds of reasons.
Straw had spotted a polar bear lying down on the trail, looking dirty and dejected, and quickly made her way over. She couldn't be sure what he wanted, she wasn't even sure he knew what he wanted, but maybe she could help. She wasn't the best at talking to people, but she might as well try and do some good. "Lost?" she asked softly as she approached him, tilting her head slightly. "Need help?"
