It was then that the creature spoke. It startled Ráeru so much that she took a few steps back, staring down at the creature with pure shock. Okay, it spoke but it was most vertically not a squirrel. Frowning she looked back at the other mare, "I heard it." With a roll of her eyes she bent her neck and peered closely at the fluffy creature that sat upon the forest floor, rather calm. "I stand mostly corrected. That's not a squirrel but it most certainly talks." Sighing lightly she turned away from the creature and spoke once again to the mare. "At least I don't need to be concerned about your well being for the moment." Not unless she became a member of The Edge and ended up with a psychical or mental affliction it was likely that this mare would never become a problem of Ráeru's.
Sniffling she turned to the creature and asked, "what are you then?" It might come across as rather rude but Ráeru had no desire to encounter the abnormal and wanted to interact with them even less.
After giving the creature ample time to respond to her query, she returned her gaze to the mare. "Are you in need of Shelter for tonight? The World's Edge might be a good home for you, even if only temporarily." Again she prepare herself to guide the mare through Helovia and into her home. "I will happily take you to meet it's leaders and people."
Haha, no you're all good. Ráeru has never encountered a twix before and I thought it would be more fun/drama if she didn't hear the twix speaking and instead immediately assumed that Ingrid was a little coo-coo. ;D
