The thought made her sigh as she sat there, on the ground, collecting herself. Things really hadn't turned out how she'd planned. She wondered if she could ever get used to living here, with these strangers....<em>Someone's approaching!</em>Her daze suddenly ended and her vision focused once again as a tall male blocked her path. Tilting her head back slightly, wide, bright green orbs stared up to him, a little surprised. He was one of the ones at the front of the pack and he seemed to be uninjured, but she hadn't really looked at him up close like this before. She blinked as the hand moved to her face, his movement gentle as he brushed her hair from her face. Hiti immediately jolted upright, tensing completely as she leaned away from the touch, a small frown on her face. "I-I will not twist-" Before she could finish speaking, the redhead was being lifted straight from the ground and over his shoulder with little to no effort whatsoever. Her pale features flushed a deep crimson and she couldn't help but squirm, feeling terribly embarrassed. "I-I can walk by myself! I'm perfectly capable, you don't need to carry me!" After that, the girl just went silent and still, her hands clinging to the material on his back for dear life, as if he could drop her at any given moment.<br/><br/>It was only a short walk downhill to the village, thank god; Hiti wasn't sure she could be carried much longer. Once they entered, she was placed safely on the ground without a word from the male. She turned to watch him walk away, a 'thank you' on the tip of her tongue, remaining unvoiced. Hiti glanced around, standing not far from the Alpha and some others; it felt as if she were standing completely alone. Her emerald eyes glanced around as her hands gripped each other beneath her cloak, fingers fiddling with each other anxiously.<br/><br/>They quickly caught sight of someone approaching...again, and Hiti stared at him for a moment longer than she should have, a questioning expression on her features; was he a human too? When he greeted her, she gave a simply nod, diverting her eyes to the ground to her left. "Hi." Was all she mustered. When he reached for her arm, she flinched a little, only to relax as he shifted her upright, causing her to straighten somewhat. She lifted her head to look at him, her head tilted ever so slightly as he asked about her trips. "Oh. It's nothing. Really." She deflected him easily, though she felt a little guilty doing so. It was only when he mentioned the snow in the village, that she cracked a genuine smile, letting out a small 'pfft'-like-laugh. "Is that right? I suppose I'll have plenty of time to test it out for myself, right?" Hiti's grin grew a little and she extended a hand to him casually. "My name's Hiti. It's a pleasure." Maybe this wouldn't be so bad....The redhead glanced around for a brief moment, her eyes catching all the Tikaan around....Or maybe she was just kidding herself.
