Paola doesn't know how to react at first. Sure, she'd been expecting company, but certainly not of Ament's size, demeanor, or stature. She's so taken aback, in fact, that for five entire seconds, she's speechless, her jaws parting in a sharp, surprised breath—a monumental achievement, to be sure. However, the sound of the badger being dropped to the floor shakes her out of her stone-like state, and she quickly gives herself a quick shake before easing into a wide smile.
"Holy shit, you're magnificent," she comments with an exhilarated breath, wondering whether the creature could understand her or not. The badger being offered towards her wordlessly, however, seems to be indication enough, and Paola calmly inches towards the slab of meat before stopping, thinking, and then proceeding to cut the carcass in half. It's a shoddy job at best, but an attempt is at the least made, and she pushes the larger half back towards the great beast with a grateful dip of her head.
It's when she manages to tear her gaze from the creature that she notices another has popped up not too far from him—someone closer to her species and pretty to boot. "Imagine how cool that would be, though. Nobody would see him coming. You could rule the world by the end of next week... if he doesn't eat you first, but hey, you look capable of handling your own in a fight, you could probably pull it off." It isn't clear whether Georgia's genuine exasperation towards the dinosaur is obvious to Paola or not, but the loner flashes her a bright, good-natured smile anyway, an entertained chuckle echoing at the back of her throat. "I'm Paola. I was wondering if I could stay for—"
She stops again, this time at the arrival of a beast perhaps even bigger than the first. She doesn't think she's seen anything quite like it, but fear has always been a relatively unknown concept to the stranger—wonder blooms in its place, instead, marveling at the creature before landing on a fourth creature, a horned and winged cat offering an apology for the first creature's behavior.
"It's alright, no harm done—he was just wanting to share his kill and I respect that," Paola answers with a wave of her tail, a gesture that she hopes would clear any confusion from the group. "I was hoping I could stay for a while? Your territory seems very lovely, your members too, and I... well, I guess I can offer service in return for safe harbor? I can—" She stops there, looking confused, wondering what she could possibly offer to them that none of their own members haven't. "—I... I can do stuff? Yeah. I can do... stuff."
Whatever charm she'd amassed over the past decade seems to leave her in an instant, and she offers them an embarrassed smile. If she squints, she thinks she might just see them fading inch by inch into the wind. ¡Mierda! And she thought making new friends and meeting new people would be easy.
ooc. oh wow this is Rusty as Hell
