<font size="2]Aware magenta eyes watched Azreal pull the boots on - a little flip in her heart from the thought they would not fit - and take a few steps to test the boots once he stood. They seemed to be a good match, if not a little bigger than necessary. None the less the wearer did not mind the extra room. Should he not be accustomed to the terrain and his feet swell from the work, he would be glad for the extra room. This one looked down at the boots once more, to be certain that they were not too large then up at her new companion. Aware of his closeness and warmth.
She turned away from him a moment to hide a fake sneeze.
The ride to the surface was a quiet one. Both in their thoughts about their day to come. This one thought of the area she found him in. What would be around to forage or gather and creatures easy and large enough to lay traps for, also were any camps close by where they might find them. Her people were not to be trusted when it came to strangers or new things. Scavenge or kill for a new shiny, Ashrun worried about Azreal. And what he would do to protect himself.
But all those thoughts were paused once they were both outside. The suns had not fully risen - just enough to provide light - and the yet the air was heavy with moisture and not yet too warm. To Ashrun, it was a good morning.
The pair left the cave and covered the entrance one more, the river to their right making it impossible for either of them to speak till they entered the forest and made their way to his ship. Side by side, the pair walked. Azreal seemed to know the way. A little shock at having given her carefully hidden home and secret away to someone so soon but also that he was adapting to his surroundings. Light footed and sure steps moved side by side towards their destination. Still, the pair didn't speak till they paused at the treeline. Azreal lead the way to his ship since Ashrun had only found the man. What she saw was much larger than she would have thought for his vessel.
Almost taller than the trees, his ship looked terrifying. Her hands grasped at the side of her skirt and yet she did not show the uncertainty on her face. Her expressions once they were outside had seemed bored if not uninterested. Not like what she showed in the safety of her home. When Azreal spoke, she looked up at him and nodded without a word. She would keep watch for him, gather a few fruits and roots while he gathered things in his ship. Best to not have the other as a distraction. But the question was how was he to get up there? Surely he would need to change form and fly. Interest sparked in her eyes as she watched him examine what he could from down on the ground. Another possible form to see of a species she would not know about yet. More of a surprise when he merely gave himself a running jump up onto his ship.
Ashrun waved at him and his request to gather his attention when needed, lips parting to shout out a reply but paused and left her response as silence. There was no one around as far as she could tell, yet to be sure the less noise the pair made the better.
While Azreal took to his ship, Ashrun set herself to gathering from near by bushes, picking off the sall red barries from the frozen fruit dessert the pair had the night before. More would need to be gathered since she would be feeding two and to help prevent another trip outside of her home too soon. Three days worth of food could be gathered alone for herself. But with the additional mouth there would need to be at least 6 days to accommodate for her usual three. With her folding box full, she set it aside and worked on roots and things under the plants to eat. Staying within close proximity to the ship, trying to remain in constant view of it, Ashrun slowly moved on her hands and knees while she gathered. Digging and pulling up plants. Tasting for sweetness of ripeness. Not unlike shopping at a grocery, but more raw and dirty.
Lost in thought, Ashrun was at a plant right under the ship when she heard the grunt from Azreals fall. Standing up right rather quickly, she almost hit her head on the belly of the ship. But, being as small as she was her hair tapped the metal which caused her to duck again rather quickly to her hands and knees again. "I'm here...." she voiced softly while moving out from under the ship with her satchel full of roots in hand. Those reddish-purple orbs scanned the tarp he had brought down, full of his things from within the ship, and then to Azreal himself. He was not harmed from the leap and even wished to help her still. Unable to prevent it, she smiled as she moved closer to him and held up the half-full bag of roots. Dirt on her hands and clothes, a bit of mud swiped across her neck and cheek gave her an even more childish look. Like that of one making mud pies after a heavy rain. "Roots and vegetables that grow in the dirt. They are hard to find that have the right taste. Too old, and they are rocks to your teeth. Too young, and they are bitter. Just right, they taste crisp. Like what my father called a raw potato texture."
Ashrun handed him the long, hand shovel and the sack of roots. "I'll show you what to look for before digging. You'll get less dirty that way. Not remain clean, but less to scrub off later."
