<span style="font-style: italic">A slight expression of surprise forms on her face at what the human said to her next. Reaching up with one hand, she uses her palm to rub the tears from her cheeks, which fall away. Her hand falls to her side once more, and she gazes at the woman in front of her, watching the expression change on her face. Tilting her head just slightly at the question that was asked, about not being able to take a joke. Why would she want to take something like that? It didn't make any sense at all.<br/><br/>That whole topic was soon pushed aside, and the woman gets a more serious air around herself. Getting to the point at hand, and asking if she had been waiting there for her. She nods, and takes a half step forward. However, she gets uneasy, and steps back. Not sure if she should be talking to this woman. Her instincts were in turmoil, half wanting to run away, and the other half desperately wanting to reach out and grasp at any help that would come to her.<br/><br/>After a moment, she takes a deep breath, and takes a step forward.

Hoping she had been right, and that this woman was different from the other humans all around.</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #00FFFF">"By...by the way, my name is Pruina...Pruina Caelum..."</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Maybe, when they were better acquainted, she would even tell the woman WHAT she was...but that was a big maybe.
