He seemed harmless enough, nevermind the nagging voice in the back of her head that whispered it was idiocy to trust any first impression.     The girl shook her head and furrowed her brow slightly with her half smile, shaking her head. "Whatever a simulation is, this isn't it," she replied. Ashe tilted her head at him curiously in a distinctly canine expression met his pleading eyes with an unwavering look.

Even with her reasonable belief that this newcomer wasn't a threat, she knew better than anyone that looks were deceiving. "I'm not going to hurt you," she told him, striking eyes watching his every move. "I'm Ashe."     Her head tilted again as she pulled in his scent further, blue eyes ringed with gold taking in his pristine and strangely stitched clothing.
