The forest is quiet, but teeming with life as you step closer to its heart. The branches part for your entry, the plants seem to stand taller, and there's a hum in the air. Maleina knows you're here, she always knows exactly when you arrive.

And there she sits when you finally arrive at the deepest part of the forest. Maleina's pointy ears twitch slightly when she hears your feet crunch against the branches of her forest.

Then she rises, her leafy dress fluttering as she makes herself presentable before turning to face you. The sunlight peers through the trees and highlights Maleina's green skin, her curious and gentle eyes, and the flowers teeming at the roots of her short hair.

Maleina's smile is a radiant one as walks over slowly to look down at you. "Human. You've returned," There's a soft rise to her voice when her deep, green eyes settle on your form. "I quite missed our talks, but it seems now I won't need to miss it any longer."
