In the woods (Open)

ooc:Hope you don't mind me saying, but it's actually 'light', not 'lite'.

Rhys Lanoa was, once again, traveling through the familiar woods, very conscience of the noise he was making. As a hunter, he always tried to be quiet, but sometimes his growing height interfered with his silence. It wasn't easy being 6'0 with his awkward big feet.

Even as Rhys minded his tread, he listened and watched the forest. It was such a beautiful place. The birds sang out, and there was a steady hum of energy that filled Rhys with energy. Only the forest could bring that to him, the contentedness. He always felt more at peace when he walked along the familiar paths.

As he continued on his way, Rhys thought he might have heard something. His hunter's instincts took over and he immediately stopped to listen. Is someone else here...?

"What are you doing?" Rhys eyes landed on a small, pretty girl. Oh, wow. She had a pretty face. Rhys couldn't help but notice. Her eyes were a nice shade of brown. Other than that, she was very skinny. Like, scrawny skinny. There's another person who needs more to eat.

Rhys stood up straight, acknowledging her presence. "Um, hi. Sorry if I...uh, interrupted your hunting." Rhys gave her a half-hearted smile. Impulsively, he also stuck out his hand. "I'm Rhys Lanoa."

The girl smiled ruefully and said, "Sorry, I just didn't want to eavesdrop. Thought it would be better if you knew I was here." Rhys grinned, wondering if perhaps she knew that her chances of finding any prey nearby were just about shot with all of their chatter.

She probably did, considering her slightly depressed expression. Rhys knew that look. It was the one he wore went he went home to his father with nothing but a rabbit or squirrel to show for the hours spent in the forest. It wasn't the greatest.

Ash seemed perfectly fine, but maybe a bit freaked out about the other girl's abrupt entrance. Rhys, for one, was beating himself up for not noticing earlier. As a hunter, he knew he should be prepared for anything, and he hadn't exactly been expecting what had happened.

Despite the fact that they were already joking around with her, Rhys realized he didn't now the other girl's name. Because Rhys was a naturally friendly person, he usually introduced himself to everyone he met in the woods. She probably already knew what his name was from listening into his and Ash's conversation earlier, but he should ask for her's.

"Uh, so, what's your name?"
