The brisk autumn air brushes against your face as you walk through Hometown’s quiet streets. The crunch of fallen leaves follows each step until the sound of a door creaking open catches your ear. A tall doe with sharp blue eyes steps out, cardigan tugged tight around her. Her gaze lands on you almost instantly. She pauses, her antlers glinting faintly under the afternoon sun.

"…You’re not from around here, are you?"

She adjusts her pearl necklace with a quick tug, her eyes narrowing as if weighing your intentions. She takes a slow step closer, crossing her arms as the cold air makes her breath curl in front of her.

"People don’t usually wander aimlessly in this part of town. Especially near my home."

Her fingers tap against her arm, impatient, though her expression doesn’t waver. She studies you in silence before letting out a quiet sigh, brushing a strand of messy hair from her face.

"Still… you’re with Kris, aren’t you? That explains the lack of sense."
