A beast and a machine. (Social/Naofumia/Private)

Heat was swelling up within Mira as the sun brutal light temporarily blinded her as was heading out to the woods. This time it was daylight hours so there was no chance of getting lost like last time. In fact she was already able to see the edges of her home. Yet it was to early to return so Mira decided that she was going walking in the woods. She knew the woods about a third of a mile from her home. Mira still exploring some parts within that range in the woods. Causaly of course and always prepared for the worst.

However meeting personal in the woods or seeing someone alone is not a normal thing for her. It was in a very small groove Mira found a lone woman. The stranger was pretty by regular standards for normal personal. Mira was wary of the stranger and why she was found by herself. It was only because the stranger didn't appear to be a hunter that Mira approached. Still heavily ridged and tense Mira had no reason for hiding her unease. Mira didn't trust new personal and she wanted it known her untrust. A low growling was all Mira gave as to a hello to the stranger.

Naofumia was in the woods; not too far from the reim capital, she was training herself physically and becoming one with her senses; not a single sound in this place would be familiar and as one of the Reim guards had instructed her is something she needed to experience before traversing large distances. Naofumia was wearing a warm sleeveless white jumper and warm blue trousers with her black leather boots worn upon her feet and sheathed rapier at her side. She was currently stretching her right shoulder out to the left, with her left arm tugging it towards her chest for a tighter pull.

Naofumia would hear a growling sound come from her right; shifting to look in the corner of her eye and notice the approaching Miro. Naofumia expression was pretty much the same as always expressionless. “Good morning” is all Naofumia would say as she freed up her left hand turning slightly for a more open position towards this new encounter. If Miro was to growl again, Naofumia would inquire if they were hungry or not.

Naofumia wasn't sure what to expect here and hadn't come to any conclusions about possible risk and the correct action to take; however, she wasn't randomly going to drastically act, she had this same perspective with wild animals. "Young Naofumia, even when faced with a tiger or bear never draw your claws first" Was something her father used to teach her when she was growing up.

Considering that she was meeting someone new Mira wanted to as polite as possible. However that meant talking which she doesn't like much yet was sometimes unavoidable. "Mira doesn't find personal by themselves in forest. Beside Mira herself. Why is stranger alone in forest? Mira is in forest because it her home." Never staying on any one thing more than a second her eyes wondered. Searching and observing the groove for every movement or distortion in motion.

Standing ridged as she talked to Naofumia her posture radiated wariness and caution. Like always readying herself for the worst yet hopeful for the best. Her heart a drum and her breath controlled Mira's mind was empty despite herself wanting to think and plan. Because all she could focus on was if this situation would devolve. Trying her best she was hoping to avoid any sort of bad interaction if possible. Yet Mira knew that she was horrible with words. Hoping that the stranger in front of her didn't mind her oddities in either her speech nor body.

Naofumia was somewhat confused about the situation “Does this person live here?” Naofumia thought to herself not noticing any of the weird things that another might notice. “So, my name is Naofumia and I’m out here training myself; specifically my senses” Naofumia guard was somewhat up, however, she wasn’t really worried or threaten. Slowly picking up a stone on the floor Naofumia would roll it forward close her eyes “How many times did that roll? I’d say 6”. The rock would actually roll 10 times.  “So what brings you out here, into the forest?”

Naofumia was somewhat worried that her expressionless face in this situation would potentially make the other feel uncomfortable and does after rolling the rock to demonstrate why she was there and listening to any replies. Naofumia would turn to face Mira, and using her right hand only she would squeeze her cheek and sort of slapped it before blessing Mira with a Smile. A rare thing that Naofumia never did, even though, it might come across as forced or creepy. Within 2 seconds her face would revert back to her expressionless expression. “Sorry, I'm not good at this expression thing.”

A bit guarded still but a little surprised that Naofumia would have a normal conversation with her Mira was happy. Not very long after Naofumia told Mira her name and answered her she tossed a rock. Then asked how many times it rolled which was a bit odd. Maybe it was a test like what Mira herself did to learn if personal are trust worthy. "It rolled two paws." Said Mira lifting her left hand for reference to her meaning. After rolling the rock and asking how many times it rolled Naofumia asked a different question.

It was about why Mira was out in the forest which was a fair question as Mira asked the same thing. "Mira home is in forest not far away Mira was making bigger her hunting grounds when met Naofumia. " Although Naofumia may have been odd by normal standards Mira wasn't able to pick up on the oddities. The reason was because she didn't understand human behavior and as such could not comprehend human oddities. All Mira understood of human oddities was that humans don't normally like her but as to why Mira never understood. Not knowing how to respond and not liking to talk Mira grunted softly her response to not being good with expressing herself.

Naofumia would take a moment to reply as she stood still for several sections thinking, she wasn't sure what to say; "Naofumia would point at the rock and say, hmm seems like it rolls five times; I guess for us to truly get strong we have some progress to be had"  Naofumia would take a few steps backward before leaning backward slightly upon a strong tree. "Do you live here? do you have a family? friends? or are you on you're own" Naofumia was quite confused within herself with how to see Mira; while her words were a bit different she spoke clear enough and was Naofumia has a sense that she was honest with her words. "So you're making a bigger hunting ground? like Deer?" Naofumia would inquire".   Naofumia hadn't really processed the physical difference that Mira had compared to most people she met nor would that really enter into her mind, she did, however, find the grunt a little suggestive.  "Doesn't it get cold out here, at night"?

It would appear this interaction was over, and while things became quite awkward as they moved to a silence Naofumia would leave the area making sure to keep her wits about her as she did. Standing up from the tree she would curtsy towards Mira, ultimately concluding that she may be an interesting individual; After walking a few steps Naofumia would inform Mira that she was going to return to training through Jogging before returning home. “You’re welcome to visit me in the capital”.  Just like that, she was in stride and on her way back to the Capital where she intended to reflect on her brief training within the wild.
