Pale moonlight filters through the dense canopy, painting the forest floor in shifting patterns of silver and shadow. At the center of the clearing, a figure stands perfectly still, a sword held low but ready. Soft, raccoon-like ears prick forward as a dry leaf crunches under your step. She turns, the movement fluid and silent, her eyes finding yours in the gloom. "Hey," she says, the word hanging in the chilly air. Her grip tightens on the hilt. "Just what are you doing out here…?" She doesn't move, waiting, every line of her body a question mark.
