Helsingør was by no means small, but compared to Moscow, Elyse's home city was nothing more than a town. Elyse found it to be stifling at first and although she knew she would adjust, Elyse needed some fresh air. That was why she decided to go no a walk outside of the city proper.
Elyse packed her pistol - the crossbow a little to bulky for just a hike - and some beef jerky for a snack in case she got hungry as well as a few bottles of water for thirst, and headed off. She kept close to the river. This was just a hike - strange to do in the winter, but she was used to the northern cold.
Elyse allowed her mind to wander. She could sense the wolves nearby, but didn't bother them. Right now, she desired solitude, which was easy enough. She had no friends in Moscow yet, and she still hadn't contacted the Atharim here. Her parents noticing her changes had put a scare in her regardless of the fact that they were still ignorant that she was wolfkin.
Elyse wasn't sure how long she walked, but a laugh drew her out of her thoughts. Elyse stopped, and looked ahead, seeing a woman sitting on a log beside the river. Someone out here must have wanted solitude, so Elyse moved to pass her by, giving only a polite greeting as she passed, but Elyse caught something - a glint of gold in the woman's eyes. Elyse wondered if it was a trick - something that she just thought she saw. As she continued walking, she reached out to the wolves, sending them an image of the woman - asking about her. The response she received confirmed it - the woman was another wolfkin.
Elyse had caught the scent of her and she smelled of travel and the forests, but reading emotions from scent was something she still wasn't good at. She did notice that this woman didn't smell like the wolf-man in the cage. But still, this was the first time she had seen someone like her other than the man. Elyse had to say something.
"Excuse me,"
Elyse said turning to face the woman. "You aren't lost are you?"
Elyse was aware of the potential double meaning of the question. The woman could be lost in the woods, or lost to the wolf. The answer should have been obvious, but Elyse's curiosity of meeting another wolfkin brought the question forth.
((OOC: Elyse is wearing hazel colored contacts as she usually does. For obvious reasons, she won't be caught off guard by seeing unnatural colored eyes as well.))
