Ariella was used the forest around her. She'd grown up a loner and enjoyed the solitude, she wasn't willing to change that so quickly. However, when she did come across another cat, she enjoyed the brief time she had to talk with someone other than herself. Yes, she talked to herself a lot, but who wouldn't when you're alone for the majority of your life? Small huffs left her body as she made her way through the trees and dead undergrowth. Her fur -- despite the lack of cover -- gave her good enough camouflage. Her yellow-green hues searched her surroundings until her scent glands picked up the scent of rabbit.

She started to head in the direction before she picked up the scent of another feline. A tom. Her hues lit up a little in curiosity, however her paws were a little more cautious as she continued her way in that direction. She paused when she heard the shrill squeal from the rodent and crouched down in time to avoid being seen by the tom walking away with his prize. From there, the she-cat followed him and respected his peace to eat. However, once he was done, she took a deep breath, stood up, and stepped out of her cover. "Greetings," she spoke in a rather silky voice. Ariella didn't know what to expect from the tom in return, but she kept her posture nonthreatening and more curious.

Hades had then closed his eyes and his body was relaxed, making him look as if though he were sleeping, but he wasn’t really. Sure, his mind was starting to shut down and drift away, but his mind was doing its best to keep him awake. This was new territory that he was sleeping in and he couldn’t afford to fall asleep and be snuck up on. He didn’t yet know what dangers lay in these woods and although he could defend himself from a sneak attack, he didn’t want to risk it. An unfamiliar voice woke him up from his tired state and his eyes shot open. Standing beneath him on the ground was a pretty she-cat. He was certain that he’d never seen her before. Although something about her made him feel as though she could’ve been in the Dusk Syndicate, he was rather doubtful that she had been. The more that she thought about it, the sillier he thought he was being. She didn’t really seem like the type to be a fighter, a cat strong enough to put up with the cruelty of the Dusk Syndicate. But then again, he couldn’t judge her just based on her appearance. He had learnt a while ago that looks could be deceiving. The stranger kind of reminded him of someone familiar to him. He knew exactly who he was thinking of and his pale green hardened and he pushed the thoughts away. He didn’t want to think about that now.

“Hello,” he responded, his voice not unfriendly but at the same time not friendly. He tilted his head to the side in a curious way and softened his gaze, not wanting to appear very hostile. He was still cautious of her of course. He couldn’t trust anyone until he had been given a bit of time to see what they were like. He didn’t like to underestimate anyone.
