A bit surprised to find a stranger wandering the Stonesong, Juniper watched from the treeline for a while before approaching Ray. The woman seemed to be ... collecting pebbles? A harmless enough activity, but why here? This woman was no resident of the Greatwood; surely she could have found pebbles closer to home.
Part of Juniper lamented the sense of paranoia that made her wonder if any stranger in the Greatwood might be hostile. She knew that there was probably a perfectly reasonable explanation for the woman's presence. No amount of speculation would bring her that reason, but there was a simple way to find out.
But before Juniper could step out and ask a friendly question, Remi appeared, making the Fae's eyes widen. She hadn't even realized he was here ... And in his manticore shift, no less. His body language seemed relaxed enough, but if his thoughts had trended the same way as Juniper's ...
Well, again, there was a simple way to find out what was going on. Juniper stepped out of the trees. "Hello, Remi, and ... I don't know your name. Is everything all right?"
