@Eli-the-transboi Wasn’t too sure what to do for the title, but it seems like a good placeholder for now.

Do we want character sheets, or just link the character page here?

Shhh nice. Lets just link since its easier.

Someday ill link her voice.

Aight, here is he:

Ok give me a moment-

Kara was sitting out in the forest propped up against a huge dark oak tree. Her long black hair was in her face and she honestly looked dead. Her skin was pale white despite her being in a little bit of sun and she was sickly thin.

Kara had a duffle bag next to her that looked kinda empty. One of her hands was on it, while the other was in her lap. The girl had one leg tucked into her while the other was outstretched. She didn't look injured for the most part. Which was good.

The young girl was dead silent as she just stared at the green grass, her deep red eyes looked dull and her eyes were sunken. She didn't even look up when she heard someone approach.

Tseth stretched his wings as he walked through the forest. It was good to be away from everything for a while. He took a deep breath, savoring the open air. He had been walking for just under an hour, maybe? Who knows. He’d walk for a little longer.

That is what he thought, until he saw her. A young girl sitting up against a large oak, looking half-dead. Or maybe she was dead, he couldn’t tell from here. He moves closer, only a few feet away now.

“Are you alright?” His voice had a thick Russian accent, with a hint of concern to it. He didn’t want to scare the girl, so he made an effort not to look too threatening. He crouches down in front of her, still a few feet away.

The girl didn't seem to answer. She didn't even look up…or…blink even. But she was breathing at least.

She looked way more sickly up close. Her cheeks were sunken and she had dark circles under her eyes.

Tseth’s expression softened at her state. He outstretched a black metal hand to her. The fingertips almost looked clawed. “My name is Tseth. I’m not going to hurt you.” His head tilted ever so slightly as he waited for a reaction. If he would get one, that is.

Despite his efforts, she still gave no reaction. Not even a blink or twitch. The poor girl stayed motionless and empty looking. From a closer look, there seemed to be dried blood on her cheek. But it didn't seem like hers. There was no visible wounds and no other signs of bleeding.

(How to take an unresponsive teenage girl somewhere else without acting like a possible creep)

Tseth sighed and brought his arm back to his side. He stood up and looked around. He couldn’t leave her here. He looks back down at her and sighs. “Come with me. Need to get you somewhere safer than this forest.” Please listen.

(XDDD actually-)

Kara takes a moment, then slowly stands. She grips onto her duffle bag, still staring at the grass.

The girl stays quiet as she does this, seeming to just be a vessel that stopped caring what happened. She just went with it. She didn't give two shits what would happen to her anymore.

Tseth waits until the girl is standing, and then takes a few steps going back towards where he came from. He looks back to see if she follows. He had good intentions, but he wasn’t really sure what he was doing.

Kara simply follows, keeping her head down. The girl looked so…gone. She honestly looked pitiful.

The girl keeps her grip on her duffle bag as she continues to follow this stranger. She didn't really care what happened. She honestly wished he'd be nice and mercy kill her.

Tseth walks alongside the girl as they make their way back. He looks down at her for a couple moments. “Do you have a name?”

He couldn’t help but wonder what happened to her. She looked, honestly, terrible. Did she have a family? Did they do this to her? Or was it something else?

Kara didn't respond. It looked as though she didn't have a thought behind those red eyes of hers. And yet, too many at once. She was tense as she walked and slightly hunched over.

The girls long, straight black hair covered her face. The poor girl…she must have been through a lot to become this. Nothing but a walking husk.

(No I totally didn’t forget to respond shhh)

“Not one for talking I see. That’s alright.” Tseth takes a deep breath and looks around. What was his plan? He didn’t really have one, other than making sure this stranger didn’t die. He didn’t know why he decided to. Maybe it was sympathy for her situation. She didn’t have anyone to help her, so he would.

_{(Also I’d love to know if eventually she does do a bit more than just stand there staring into the void cough)}
