Rini sniffed the air. Hmm... I smell someone.... She thought to herself. She barked. "Who's there?" She questioned, her nose alert for scents, ears alert for sounds.

The look on Elena's face changed dramatically. Is..Is she a halfling? she thought, bringing herself quickly behind the tree. Her heart pounded, as she hoped she wouldn't be punished if found in a territory not her own.

Rini growled. "COME OUT OR I'LL COME FIND YOU! AND I'LL BE MAD!" Her hackles rose, she sniffed the air again. She's hiding.... She thought wearily.

She's gotta be. And with that thought, she quietly started climbing the tree she hid behind. As she struggled to get up, the sketchbook she held in her teeth dropped to the mossy ground. Her eyes lit up in fright, as it landed against the rock, making a hollow noise that echoed through the wood. Quickly, she climbed up, hiding behind the tall tree's limbs.

Rini's ears twitched, hearing a thud. She followed the sound, finding a sketchbook. It was open to a beautiful sketch of a wolf... who Rini came to recognize as herself. Rini glanced up the tree. She sighed, turning to her human form, beginning to climb up the tree. "Whoever you are, you obviously havn't dealed with a halfling before." She mumbled.

"Um, no, I haven't," she replied, climbing higher up into the tree. The truth was that she hadn't dealed with a halfling before. She had no idea whether there tempers were good or bad, and wasn't really looking forward to finding out.

Rini crawled up the tree, searching for the mysterious person. "You know it'll just be easier if you come out!" She coaxed. Though if she's a human... I don't like spies... She thought.

As continued up the thinning limbs of the tree, she remembered something that had happened a little more than a month ago. One of the village men had gone into the woods of the halflings to learn more about them, and he was caught. Thinking quickly, she hid her ears under her hair, and pulled it into a ponytail with a small green ribbon. Not paying attention to her footing, she slipped off of the branch she was on, and plummeted to the mossy ground.

Rini blinked, instinctivly jumping out to catch the girl. As they both fell towards the ground, Rini realized what an idiot she was being. I should have just let her fall. She concentrated, desperatly grabbing for a branch. Her hand finally caught one, saving them from a painful landing. "Who are you?" She asked, annoyed.

She looked utterly shocked to see the girl, who had just been a wolf, AND trying to hunt her down, keeping her from a brutal landing. Eyes, wide, she struggled to reply. "I-I'm Elena Soba.." she studdered, glancing back and forth from the ground, their hands, and the halfling's face.

Rini restrained from rolling her eyes. "Soba? Like the noodles? Whatever." She said, landing cleanly on the ground. "What are you doing in halfling territory?" She asked, setting the girl on the ground. I wonder if she's seen niki yet....

"I was just, um, just doing some sketches," she replied timidly, "I sware, I'll show you my sketchbook!" She started over to the stone on which her book had landed.

Rini raised an eyebrow. "That's it? What race are you? I don't see any halfling signs... but then again I can't see your ears...." She said incrediously.

"I'm a..." she started, but trailed off as she went throught the mossy plant life to get her beloved sketchbook. "Found it!" She said proudly, as if she had discovered the map to a lost city. "Here," she said, holding out the sketchbook as she returned. "I have proof."

"Proof of what? I still don't know if you are freind or foe." She impatiently explained. "Now, please hurry it up and tell me." Her voice obviously hinted annoyance.
