Though he'd been watching the portal and trying to make up his mind, Kel hadn't seen anyone else traveling through in either direction. Some people didn't trust it, but most couldn't be bothered leaving the land they knew when there was so much work to be done at 'home' to recover from the volcano's wrath. Besides, where would they go? Jiao had mentioned a Fae Woodland where her people weren't very welcoming of strangers, and a cursed land within a popped bubble.
Kel was almost ready to give up for the day when a shift in the portal's light warned him of something changing, and a moment later a woman stood in the street, looking very overdressed for the climate. He drew in a sharp breath of surprise, taking a wary step back, but he couldn't help but notice her bow and arrows and for a moment his caution was overridden with a professional interest in the weapons. "Hello..." he offered, a little weakly. "Are you... here to hunt something?" It was the only thing he could think of, with what she had with her, but he immediately winced at how foolish it sounded out loud.
