Kuso was sitting patiently by the stream, waiting for the weather to grow hot enough for him to jump in. It was a nice day; the sun was shining, there was a slight breeze, and the scent of freshly bloomed blossoms was in the air. He had just finished a meal of fresh caught trout not long ago, so he felt completely satisfied. He hadn't exercised much in the winter though, and decided that a full muscle workout through swimming was in need.

 Atl sigh softly and hung her head a little. She's gotten herself lot, and felt stupid for it. She thoughtlessly wondered an area that she didn't know, and now she was unable to find her way home. Having met Ryo-ohki, the female Ulaya that looked like a rabbit and acted like a cat, calling herself a Cabbit, in the very early spring. Atl had hoped to run into the female again. This other Ulaya was friendly, she for some reason Atl didn't feel nervous around her. She actually considered her as a sort of friend.
There was another sigh as she looked around once more and realized that it might take her days to get back home. Rustling her way trough some trees she pushed out into a small clearing and spotted a steam. Hoping it was the one that ran past her home she moved towards it with a smile. But it faded when she noticed the Ulaya laying near it. This was not Atl, and from the slight scent she caught it was a male.
Not sure weather she'd been noticed yet she wasn't sure what to do. Back up or move forwards. She'd never had a meeting with a male before and wasn't sure what he would do.

Hearing some crackling coming from behind him, Kuso turned his head to see what was coming. It smelled like a Ulaya, so he wasn't too worried. He could take care of himself if it turned out to be hostile.
Then he saw a timid looking lady, and wondered what she could possibly be doing out here. Not wanting to scare her, he kept his position and waited for her to decide whether she wanted to talk to him or not.

It took Atl a moment or two to get up the courage but she did step forwards. She scanned the directions the steam came from and went to while she neared the male. She didn’t know what to say to him, she felt silly enough for getting lot in the first place and now she had to ask someone if they knew where she was. Shifting her eyes towards the darkly colored male waiting a moment before speaking. “ Ex…Excuse me, b..but do you kn..know where this is? "

Kuso smiled at the poor thing. She must be lost; she looked lost before she had even said anything. "Uh, yes. Did you maybe want someone to walk you... uh, back home? Or something?" He asked, starting to stand up and stretch out his body. Swimming could wait another day if need be.

Her silver blue eyes widened a little and she shook her head slightly “ I… I couldn’t be th…that much trouble. ” Her soft voice rose a little as she spoke, but still it was soft a timid, and soon returned to normal. “ It.. Would b..be rude of me to disturb y..you to much. ” She knew a guild would probably get her home easier, he this male did seem kind, offering to help her like that. But she felt bad at she would get in the way of what ever if was he might have been doing.

"Oh, it's no problem at all. I'm not doing anything important, and a walk would do me some good." He smiled reassuringly at her. "Do you know about where you live? Or what's near there?" He stepped a little closer to her, making sure he didn't seem threatening.

As Kuso neared her Atl remained still. She wasn’t scared of him or anything, she just had a hard time around others. “ W… well if you’re s..sure. ” She took a moment to glance at the stream. “ I live n..near a stream.A s..smaller one then this. There’s a p..pond in a small grove of trees near by. M.M.My cave is hidden by w..willow trees. ” She really wasn’t sure if her description would help at all, she didn’t really live near anything that was big or interesting really. Nothing that wasn’t anywhere else.

"Willow trees huh? I know only one part of the forest that has those. I've been near there, but only in passing. I think I might know where it is, it's not too far." He was glad he would be able to help this lady. She seemed so unsure of herself, and he felt bad that she was lost. "Let's get going, I don't want it to get dark on our way."

Nodding her head Atl was quick to fallow the male. She really did hope this wasn’t going to take him to far out of his way with this little trip. “ Um… th…thank you. ” She fell silent a moment, walking a little behind him as the traveled. She glanced at him again. “ U…um m.m..my names is Atl. I..It’s nice to m.meet you. ” She felt silly, her head lowering to watch the ground in front of her as they walked. It was possible he wasn’t really going to be interested or care about who she was.

"Oh, i'm sorry, I completely forgot to introduce myself. I'm Kuso." He said, bowing his head slightly. "It's very nice to meet you Atl." He grinned, he had never met such a shy Ulaya before. She certainly stuttered a lot. "Now how did you come to be lost in the woods?" He had no idea how anyone could get themselves so lost that they couldn't find their way back home... did this happen to her a lot? He wondered.

Lowing her ears a little she felt silly having gotten lost and bothering the male to help her. “ I w..was looking f..f.for a… friend. ” She had to think a moment about it. She considered Ryo-Ohki a good friend at this point, even though she had only met the other female once. However she wasn’t sure what Ryo-Ohki would consider her. “ I..I wasn’t she w..were she lived s..s..so I went for a w..w..walk where I first met her.” Lowering her head a little more she bit her lip slightly. “ I.I do a..apologize for bothering y…you. ”

He chuckled a bit. "You're not bothering me one bit Atl." He continued walking towards the place he thought was her home. "Who is this friend you speak of?" He was trying to make light conversation, to put her more at ease, but she seemed so... not scared, but shy. Yes, she seemed extremely shy.

Lifting her eyes to look at Kuso as tried to smile a little. He really was friendly, but deep down she still worried that he was going out of his way to be nice to her. She didn’t know why but she always worried about stuff like that. “ W…Well her n..name is R..R..Ryo-O..ohki. She’s a l..little dif…different but very n..nice. ” Stopping herself, she wasn’t sure why she had said that. Yes Ryo_Ohki was very different, in both the way she looked and how she acted but it was rude to say so. Especially to someone that she hardly know and Ryo_Ohki didn’t know at all, or at least Atl didn’t know if the other female knew him.

"Ah, how is she different? I haven't met any strange Ulaya. She must be very interesting." He smiled again, realizing that they had reached the place he thought was her home.
"Oh look, we're here... Is this the right place?" He hoped it was, because if it wasn't he didn't know how else he could help her.
