Currently making there way through the roots closest to the base of the tree, was... Not the most common of sights to see this far outside of a realm... A mortal caravan... Depending one ones knowledge of the other realms it would at first glance appear to be a single sapient, a mostly humanish woman, with vulpine features and very long white hair, and wearing fairly plain robes... There was a single metal sword with a curved blade strapped to her hips, and her robes seemed to have plates of a... Strange material... One that we would know as plastic... Inserted into it as a kind of armored padding... But these seemed to be mere precautionary measures that she has taken to protect herself against what she may encounter given that her demeanor was decidedly non aggressive.

Rather she was riding on the back of of a rather chunky looking metallic quadruped, a strange creature that seemed to be bloated with fluids contained in its unnatural body, and strapped down with buckets... Which she was using as a mount... Her free hand which was not being used to steady her grip had in it a long plastic rod, with a set of metal bells and ribbons attached to the top of it... Which she gave a little ring and the creature came to a halt, and they both began to observe the area around them.

"Alpha? Map check?" She called out, and the metallic creature that she was riding responded with a... Sound that was a cross between a buzz and a gurgle, not something that would be understandable by most... But also something that seemed to be capable of thought enough, given that the timing of its call heavily implied it had listened to this woman and was making its noise in response.

"I see...", she replied to it treating this as if it was a conversation, "Your much better equipped for this task then I am, though I am feeling a bit hungry... You?" She asked it again, getting another buzzing gurgle in response.

"Yea I thought so, form up and we will take a break", with this seeming confirmation she began to climb off the creatures back, leaning the rod she carried in her hands against one of the more vertical roots, and then prying open one of the plastic buckets attached to the creatures side... She took from it what could best be described as "Fish jerky", and began to have a snack of it while sitting against the tree herself, in a state that would not be too hard to stumble across for any one else in the area.

As the duo sat against the tree, the sounds of someone, or perhaps something, approaching became clear. The World Tree was typically a fairly quiet place, and that made any sound stand out among a world of silence clear of anything else that might normally have drowned such noisese out. The buzz of what sounded to be the wings of some kind of insect were the first thing would drift to them, faintly carried by the wind. What followed was the sounds of exertion, like someone letting out a huff or a small *Hyup* On occasion. The duo didn't have to wonder what might have caused it for long, though, as it didn't take long for the source of the sound to show itself, or in this case, herself. 

Off in the distance, a figure leapt from branch to branch. She appeared to be a young humanoid girl in her late teens or her early twenties - it was hard to tell exactly which - but she danced from root to root with a kind of practised ease. As she grew closer, it became clear that the buzzing sound had come from her, too, as each jump was impossible for a regular human to clear. Instead, a pair of leafy wings hung fro her back, turning into a blur of green every time she jumped as she used the wings to carry her across the gaps. It might not be the most dignified way of travelling the World Tree, but it was better for conserving energy than outright flying.

The stranger hadn't seemed to have noticed the pair yet, given that she had no shame in shouting what appeared to be some form of travel song at the top of her lungs, though it wasn't in any language that either of the Trailblazers would recognise. She made to try another leap but tripped over her own foot, tumbling of the root that she'd been on into the void below. Fortunately, well, she had wings, and she soon rose back up with a slight red tint to her face. Rather embarrassingly, she had yet to notice that others had actually been around to witness her failure for once, since she'd yet to notice their presence.

Noticing the Stanger approaching... Which was a bit different likely then how most would, given that she did not look to her at first, but rather pointed her own set of "Radars" Also known as her ears in the direction of the buzzing and singing, well... More the singing really since it was more of a shout, but her keen hearing had no real issue with the detection of the buzzing either. Ren ceased the nibbling on her snack and began to stand, reaching for her staff with a bit of a lazy pace, wondering what or more accurately whom was nearing.

That is until she heard the thunk of a trip... And her pace immediately accelerated, still not even having seen the vistor she griped her staff rapidly, and tapped it on the ground twice, making the bells atop it jungle, and the ribbons dance.

"ALPHA!"

Heeding her call, a pair of metal wolfs rapidly began there decent down the branches themselves, having previously been hiding among the upper ones, the machines weren't exactly sure what they _could_ do, but they heeded the call given to them, and knew what was _asked_ for them to do.

...

Which meant that they stopped there rapid decent and took a more relaxed posture when they realized they weren't going to have to figure out how to save some one that was falling, she had managed to save herself... Providing an update to this, the fluid filled quadruped back with Ren gurgled, and the vulpine woman gave it a nod and approached the edge the edge of the branch and called out to the winged woman.

"Oi~ You okay there? Any injuries? We need to be careful while traversing giv..." Her ears folded as she had a moment of realization herself, "Okay maybe you don't need to be quiiite as careful as I do but... Still its a little dangerous out here..." 

She... Wasn't quite sure if she would even be understood, given the singing was not in kitsunego... And well, she was relying on second hand knowledge and a weak magic item for communication, in what she hoped would be a more... Universal tonged... But it was incredibly rare to see any one else for her, infact this was her first other person encountered, she was damn well going to try.

The sound of voices caused her to yelp in surprise again, because that meant that someone *Had* Seen her fail that epically. She flailed around a little as she lost her balance on her flight, trying to steady herself. She zipped around for a bit as she recovered her bearings before finally righting her direction and rising up once more. Her face burned red as all of her juice went to her face, embarrassed about being seen tumble off the edge like that. She'd fallen pretty far, but with the speed of her flight it wasn't long before she was rising up above the adventurers. Once she got a little above level with them, though, she fluttered over to the root that they'd been standing on and touched down, the blur of her wings slowing to nothing as she lowered herself down to the ground.

"I'm fine." She said after a moment, responding in the language that she'd been spoken to in. One of the blessings her mother had granted her when the Great Locust had turned her from a simple strawberry into a demigod was the ability to fluently speak all languages, since she *Was* Meant to communicate with anyone that entered the Valley of Abundance. Technically, this wasn't what this ability had been meant for, but she wasn't very worried that her mother might get annoyed by her using the ability wrong. The Lady of the Harvest was pretty hands off with her children as long as they did their jobs right. "I just tripped and flew back up. Didn't hit anything on my way down." She reassured the stranger.

Oh, right. The stranger. It appeared that the redhead, if you could even call her that with the gradient towards green that was going on at the end her braids, had only just remembered that there were other people here. "Wait, other people!" She exclaimed, her mortified expression quickly shifting to one of excitement. "Who're you?" She asked, tilting her head curiously. Her tone was less suspicious and accusataory and more like someone who was starved for some kind of social interaction.
