When she looked at Dallas, she didn't see broken pieces that couldn't be put back together. She didn't see a male who had shut himself off to the world. No, she only saw someone who needed help, someone who needed a shoulder to lean on. Being the kind soul she was, she was willing to help. How could she deny him something like that?
Truthfully, she hadn't expected much to go on that day. She was a little frazzled after the whole thing with the jaguar, the scene a little too violent for her liking, but she figured it could have gone worse. As in, someone could have died. But everyone got away alive so it was alright! She guessed. Still didn't mean she liked any of it. Now she was questioning just what Tanglewood had been doing, even though she didn't really know anything about the opposing group, the Pitt.
She was just taking a walk, wanting to clear her head and maybe find some plants, or herbs as they called them here, when a scent hit her nose. It didn't smell of the swamp. Assuming that it was someone from outside their borders, she follows the smell, careful in her approach. She wasn't too eager to be the victim of some fire-ball thingy like that jaguar.
She watches the male for a silent moment, doing her best to stay out of sight with her ruddy fur, a color that didn't blend in very well with the swamp. But he hadn't noticed her yet, so that was a good sign.
He didn't seem like he was mean, either. He had no intent in the way he moved, so, taking her chances, she stepped out into the open and greeted him. He, too, seemed on edge, and she couldn't really blame him. She would be if she was in a strange place, too. The only reason she had been so open when she first joined Tanglewood was because she didn't quite grasp the dangers of this world, even with the wounds on her flank made by an aggressor's claws. They had been healing quite well.
They spoke very briefly, Adelaide asking him where he was from and what he was doing out here, casual until she noticed how unwell he looked. Then she frowned, worry on her face. After an exchange of a few more words, she realized that he probably wasn't going to be coming willfully, not at first. So she took the initiative to grab him by the scruff and start dragging him off back to camp, not thinking about how he would react. She could handle a few more wounds, could patch them up herself, even.
She brought him through the marsh, making sure to avoid traps and pools of deep water where gators might have lurked, until the buildings of their town broke through the crowd of trees. Once they reached the outskirts, she set him down on the ground, huffing at the exertion of dragging him all the way here. But they were at their destination and she could help him! And get others to help, too! A few friendly faces would hopefully cheer him up a little.
"It may not look like much, but it's cozy, I promise! The people here are nice, too! Well, most of them." she could think of a few faces that may not be very susceptible to their new face, but she hoped it didn't deter him, or worse, make him leave all together.
Adelaide smiles brightly at the way he looked around, hopeful that he would settle in well. But maybe it was a little much for him to process.
So she steps up beside him to be a comforting presence. "Yeah, pretty much! I have my own place, if you don't feel comfortable with being on your own, though! I wouldn't mind some company, even if it's only for a little bit." she says, not wanting to pressure him but letting him know the option was there. Now she would just wait for people to come up and start introductions.
